Q. The questions below are posed in order to help you think about how to find the number of degrees in 6π radians.What fraction of a semicircle is an angle that measures 6π radians? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest terms.
Convert to Fraction: An angle of (π)/(6) radians is being compared to a semicircle. A semicircle is half of a full circle, and a full circle is (2×π) radians. To find the fraction of a semicircle that (π)/(6) radians represents, we divide (π)/(6) by (π), which is the measure of a semicircle in radians.Calculation: (π)/(6)/(π)=1/6
Simplify Fraction: We have found that (π)/(6) radians is 1/6 of a semicircle. Now we need to express this fraction in simplest terms. Since 1/6 is already in its simplest form, no further simplification is needed.
