Trigonometry

Radians

Radians measure an angle by the length of its arc on a circle of radius 1. You need them for trigonometric functions and later for calculus.

  1. 1. Convert 30° to radians, expressed as a multiple of π/6. (e.g. 210° = 7·π/6, answer 7)

    Answer: 1

    180° = π rad, so 30° = π/6. Divide the angle by 30 to count sixths.

    30 / 30 = 1, so 30° = 1·π/6.

  2. 2. Convert 150° to radians, expressed as a multiple of π/6. (e.g. 210° = 7·π/6, answer 7)

    • b6
    • c4
    • d5

    Answer: 5

    180° = π rad, so 30° = π/6. Divide the angle by 30 to count sixths.

    150 / 30 = 5, so 150° = 5·π/6.

  3. 3. Convert 60° to radians, expressed as a multiple of π/6. (e.g. 210° = 7·π/6, answer 7)

    • a3
    • b4
    • c1
    • d2
    Show solution

    Answer: 2

    180° = π rad, so 30° = π/6. Divide the angle by 30 to count sixths.

    60 / 30 = 2, so 60° = 2·π/6.

  4. 4. Convert 90° to radians, expressed as a multiple of π/6. (e.g. 210° = 7·π/6, answer 7)

    • a2
    • b6
    • c4
    • d3
    Show solution

    Answer: 3

    180° = π rad, so 30° = π/6. Divide the angle by 30 to count sixths.

    90 / 30 = 3, so 90° = 3·π/6.

  5. 5. Convert 120° to radians, expressed as a multiple of π/6. (e.g. 210° = 7·π/6, answer 7)

    • a4
    • b2
    • c8
    • d5
    Show solution

    Answer: 4

    180° = π rad, so 30° = π/6. Divide the angle by 30 to count sixths.

    120 / 30 = 4, so 120° = 4·π/6.
