MHB Write 2.158 radians in terms of Pi

AI Thread Summary
To convert 2.158 radians into terms of pi, divide 2.158 by π (approximately 3.14159). This calculation results in approximately 0.687π radians. The process involves recognizing that radians can be expressed as a multiple of π. Understanding this conversion is essential for expressing angles in terms of pi. The discussion highlights the straightforward mathematical relationship between radians and π.

Hello, can someone show me how 2.158 radians can also be written as .687pi? I need to learn how to do this so I can write my answer in terms of pi as opposed to 2.158.

Thank you in advance.

It's just a change in scale. [math]2.158 \text{ rad } = \frac{ 2.158 \text{ rad } \pi }{ \pi} = \frac{2.158 \text{ rad }}{3.1415926535} \cdot \pi \approx 0.687 \pi \text{ rad }[/math]

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
