    Radians
AI Thread Summary
An angle of 249 degrees is equivalent to approximately 4.35 radians, calculated using the conversion factor of π/180. The exact conversion is expressed as 249π/180 radians or 83π/60 radians. Participants discussed different notations for radians, with some using a superscript 'R' and others a 'c' to denote radians. The conversation included light-hearted exchanges about the speed of responses and appreciation for assistance. Overall, the thread effectively clarified the conversion of degrees to radians and highlighted variations in notation.

I need help with radians.. One of my questions is: An angle of 0 (with line through it) =249 degrees is equivalent to how many radians? Answer in units of rad.
Thanks!

1 degree = \pi/180 radians. Angle \theta = 249 degrees. What do you think you should do?
 
Would the answer be 4.35 radians?

Yes, but that would be an approximation.

249^\circ = \frac{{249\pi }}{{180}}rad = \frac{{83\pi }}{{60}}rad \approx 4.35rad
 
That's what I get, if you're rounding.

I forgot you got to be fast around here. :biggrin:

Glad we could help :smile:
 
Just a really, really, really small point. Radians, I am sure, can be written as \pi ^c.

Like I said - a really, realy, really small point.

I never knew that, in my books, they always denoted radians by putting a little R superscript, like so:

2\pi^R

Really? I usually use c. I have never seen that before. I expected to R when I studied radians but we use c.
