Q. Convert the following angle from degrees to radians. Express your answer in simplest form.495∘Answer:
Convert to Radians: 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:radians=degrees×180π
Apply Formula: Now, we apply the formula to 495 degrees:radians=495×180π
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15:radians=15495×15180πradians=33×12π
Further Simplify Fraction: The fraction 1233 can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:radians=333×312πradians=11×4π
