Q. Convert the angle −1 radian to degrees, rounding to the nearest 10th.Answer:
Convert to degrees: To convert radians to degrees, we use the conversion factor that π radians is equivalent to 180 degrees. The formula to convert radians to degrees is: degrees=radians×(π180).
Substitute value: Now, we substitute −1 for radians in the formula: degrees=−1×(180/π).
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the degree measure: degrees=π−180.
Calculate decimal value: Using a calculator, we find the decimal value of −180/π, which is approximately −57.2958 degrees.
Round to nearest tenth: Finally, we round the result to the nearest tenth: degrees ≈−57.3.
