Convert an angle from radians to degrees

The video tutorial explains how to convert an angle from radians to degrees. It begins by discussing the common challenge of understanding where the measurement is going. The instructor then explains the importance of removing the π symbol during conversion and introduces the ratio of 180 degrees to π as a key tool. By applying this ratio, the π symbols cancel out, allowing the conversion to degrees. The tutorial concludes with a calculation example, converting -7π/12 radians to degrees, resulting in 105 degrees.

What is the initial challenge mentioned when converting radians to degrees?

• Visualizing the conversion process

• Memorizing the conversion formula

• Understanding the concept of radians

• Calculating the exact degree value

What is the key mathematical tool used to convert radians to degrees?

• The ratio of 180 degrees to π

• The ratio of 90 degrees to π

• The ratio of 270 degrees to π

• The ratio of 360 degrees to π

How does the π symbol get eliminated during the conversion process?

• By adding π to both sides

• By multiplying by π

• By dividing π by itself

• By subtracting π from both sides

What is the degree equivalent of -7π/12 radians after conversion?

• 180 degrees

• 150 degrees

• 120 degrees

• 105 degrees

What is the final step in the conversion process demonstrated in the video?

• Subtracting the degree value from π

• Dividing the product by 12

• Multiplying the radian value by 180

• Adding the degree value to π
