Let's consider what the problem wants us to find:
- fractional part covered by the labeled angle
- angle in radians
Let's find the fractional part:
⇒ the fractional part is equal:
[tex]\frac{degree-covered-by-angle}{total-angle} =\frac{280}{180} =\frac{2*2*7*10}{2*2*3*3*5} =\frac{7*10}{3*3*5} =\frac{70}{45}=\frac{14}{9}[/tex]
Answer: The angle 280 degrees covers 14/9 of a semicircle.
Let's find the angle measure in radians:
⇒ we know that [tex]2\pi[/tex] radians are equal to 360 degrees
⇒ to convert any degree to radians, you must multiply [tex]\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex]
so [tex]280*\frac{\pi }{180} =\frac{28}{18}*\pi =\frac{28\pi }{18}=\frac{2*14*\pi }{2*9} =\frac{14\pi }{9}[/tex]
Answer: The angle 280 degrees in radians is [tex]\frac{14\pi} {9}[/tex] which in terms of [tex]\pi[/tex] is
14/9
Hope that helps!
