Q. The questions below are posed in order to help you think about how to find the number of degrees in π6 \frac{\pi}{6} radians.\newlineWhat fraction of a semicircle is an angle that measures π6 \frac{\pi}{6} radians? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest terms.
  1. Convert to Fraction: An angle of (π)/(6)(\pi)/(6) radians is being compared to a semicircle. A semicircle is half of a full circle, and a full circle is (2×π)(2 \times \pi) radians. To find the fraction of a semicircle that (π)/(6)(\pi)/(6) radians represents, we divide (π)/(6)(\pi)/(6) by (π)(\pi), which is the measure of a semicircle in radians.\newlineCalculation: (π)/(6)/(π)=1/6(\pi)/(6) / (\pi) = 1/6
  2. Simplify Fraction: We have found that (π)/(6)(\pi)/(6) radians is 1/61/6 of a semicircle. Now we need to express this fraction in simplest terms. Since 1/61/6 is already in its simplest form, no further simplification is needed.
