Q. The questions below are posed in order to help you think about how to find the number of degrees in 7π9 \frac{7 \pi}{9} radians.\newlineWhat fraction of a semicircle is an angle that measures 7π9 \frac{7 \pi}{9} radians? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest terms.
  1. Identify Semicircle Radians: To find the fraction of a semicircle that an angle of (7π)/(9)(7\pi)/(9) radians represents, we need to compare it to the total radians in a semicircle.\newlineA semicircle is half of a circle, and a full circle is 2π2\pi radians. Therefore, a semicircle is π\pi radians.
  2. Express Angle as Fraction: Now, we express (7π)/(9)(7\pi)/(9) as a fraction of π\pi to find out what fraction of a semicircle it is.\newlineWe can write (7π)/(9)(7\pi)/(9) as (7/9)×π(7/9) \times \pi.
  3. Calculate Fraction of Semicircle: To find the fraction of a semicircle, we divide (7π)/(9)(7\pi)/(9) by π\pi, which is the radian measure of a semicircle.\newlineSo, the fraction is (7π)/(9)/π=(7/9)×(π/π)=7/9(7\pi)/(9) / \pi = (7/9) \times (\pi/\pi) = 7/9.
  4. Simplify Fraction: We simplify the fraction by canceling out the π\pi terms in the numerator and the denominator.\newlineThis leaves us with the fraction 79\frac{7}{9}, which is already in its simplest form.
