Identify relationship between degrees and radians: Identify the relationship between degrees and radians. We know that 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees. This relationship can be used to convert radians to degrees.
Set up conversion from radians to degrees: Set up the conversion from radians to degrees. To convert 3π radians to degrees, we use the proportion:2π radians3π radians=360 degreesx degrees
Solve for degree measure: Solve for x, which represents the degree measure. Cross-multiply to find the value of x:3π×360=2π×x
Isolate x: Divide both sides of the equation by 2π to isolate x: (2π3π×360)=x
Calculate value of x: Calculate the value of x: x=(3×360)/2 x=1080/2 x=540
Choose correct option of degrees: Choose the correct option of degrees for 3π radians. The correct option is 540 degrees, which is equivalent to 3π radians.
