Q. Which of the following radian measures is equal to 1,080∘ ?(The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360 . The number of radians of arc in a circle is 2π.)Choose 1 answer:(A) 3π radians(B) 6π radians(C) 10π radians(D) 12π radians
Understanding degrees and radians: Understand the relationship between degrees and radians. We know that 360 degrees is equal to 2π radians. This means that 1 degree is equal to 3602π radians, or 180π radians.
Converting degrees to radians: Convert 1,080 degrees to radians using the relationship from Step 1. Multiply 1,080 degrees by 180π to find the equivalent in radians.Calculation: 1,080×(180π)=6×π
Simplifying the calculation: Simplify the calculation to find the final answer. 1,080×(π/180) simplifies to 6π because 1,080 divided by 180 equals 6.Calculation: 6×π=6π radians
Choosing the correct option: Choose the correct option from the given choices that matches the calculated radian measure.The correct option is (B) 6π radians.
