Q. The questions below are posed in order to help you think about how to find the number of degrees in 65π radians.What fraction of a semicircle is an angle that measures 65π radians? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest terms.
Total Radians in Semicircle: To determine what fraction of a semicircle an angle represents, we need to know the total radians in a semicircle. A semicircle is half of a circle, and a full circle is 2π radians. Therefore, a semicircle is π radians.
Express Angle as Fraction: Now, we can express the given angle (5π/6) as a fraction of a semicircle by dividing it by π, the total radians in a semicircle.So, the fraction is (5π/6)/π.
Simplify the Fraction: To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since π is in both the numerator and the denominator, they cancel each other out.This leaves us with 65.
