Question

How do you convert `pi/3` radians into degrees?

Answer 1

`pi/3=60^@`

Explanation:

`pi` rad=`180^@`, so we can plug this into our expression to get

`180/3=60^@`

Maybe a more intuitive way to think about this is to multiply our given value by `180/pi`. Notice that the unit we want, degrees, is in the numerator.

`pi/3*180/pi=cancelpi/cancel3*60cancel180/cancelpi`

`pi/3=60^@`

Hope this helps!
