Q. Convert the angle θ=100∘ to radians.Express your answer exactly.θ=□ radians
Conversion factor for degrees to radians: To convert degrees to radians, we use the conversion factor that 180 degrees is equal to π radians.
Setting up the conversion for theta: We set up the conversion for theta from degrees to radians using the conversion factor.θ in radians = θ in degrees) * (180 degreesπ radians)
Substituting theta in degrees: Substitute 100 degrees for θ in degrees in the conversion formula.θ in radians = (100 degrees)×(π radians/180 degrees)
Performing the multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find θ in radians.θ in radians = 180100×π
Simplifying the fraction: Simplify the fraction180100 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20. θ in radians = (20100)/(20180)×πθ in radians = 95×π
