Convert Radians To Degrees: Easy Formula And Examples | Pi Conversion Tips

degrees to radians

degrees x π/180

To convert degrees to radians, you need to multiply the degree measure by $\frac{\pi}{180}$.

So, if you have an angle measurement of 60 degrees, the equivalent angle measurement in radians would be:

$$60 \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{3}$$

Similarly, if you have an angle measurement of 90 degrees, the equivalent angle measurement in radians would be:

$$90 \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$

And if you have an angle measurement of -45 degrees (a negative angle indicates rotation in the clockwise direction), the equivalent angle measurement in radians would be:

$$-45 \times \frac{\pi}{180} = -\frac{\pi}{4}$$

Note that $\pi$ radians is equivalent to 180 degrees, and $2\pi$ radians is equivalent to 360 degrees (or one full rotation).
