Q. Convert the angle θ=345∘ to radians. Express your answer exactly.
Conversion Factor: To convert degrees to radians, we use the conversion factor that π radians is equivalent to 180 degrees. The formula to convert degrees to radians is given by multiplying the degree measure by π/180.
Apply Formula: Now, we apply the formula to convert 345 degrees to radians. We have: 345 degrees ∗(π/180) radians/degree
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by multiplying 345 by π and then dividing by 180.(345×π)/180
Divide by Common Divisor: We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15 in this case.($15345) * (15180π)\)
Final Simplification: After simplifying, we get: 23×(π/12)
Exact Value: The exact value in radians for 345 degrees is therefore 1223π.
