Question

How do you convert -60 degrees into radians?

Answer 1

`\pi/3\ \text{rad}`

Explanation:

`60^\circ`

`=60\times\frac{\pi}{180} \ \text{rad}`

`=\pi/3\ \text{rad}`

Answer 2

`-pi/3`

Explanation:

`"to convert from "color(blue)"degrees to radians"`

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)("radian measure "="degree measure "xxpi/180)color(white)(2/2)|)))`

`"radian "=-cancel(60)^1xxpi/cancel(180)^3=-pi/3`

Answer 3

`-pi/3`

Explanation:

Since we are converting from degrees to radians, we can use the conversion factor

`xxpi/180`

Notice, the unit we want, radians, is in the numerator. We get

`-60*pi/180`

`-cancel(60)*pi/cancel180^3`

`=>-pi/3`

Hope this helps!
