Full solution

Q. Which of the following radian measures is equal to 720720^\circ? (The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360360^\circ. The number of radians of arc in a circle is 2π2\pi.)
  1. Set up proportion: To convert degrees to radians, we use the fact that 360360 degrees is equal to 2π2\pi radians. Therefore, to find the radian measure equivalent to 720720 degrees, we set up a proportion.
  2. Cross-multiply: We know that 360360 degrees =2π= 2\pi radians. So, we can write the proportion as:\newline(720(720 degrees)/(360) / (360 degrees)=(x) = (x radians)/(2π) / (2\pi radians)
  3. Isolate x: Now we solve for x by cross-multiplying: 720 degrees×2π radians=x radians×360 degrees720 \text{ degrees} \times 2\pi \text{ radians} = x \text{ radians} \times 360 \text{ degrees}
  4. Simplify fraction: Divide both sides by 360360 degrees to isolate xx:720360×2π=x\frac{720}{360} \times 2\pi = x
  5. Find xx: Simplify the fraction 720360\frac{720}{360}, which equals 22:2×2π=x2 \times 2\pi = x
  6. Final result: Multiply 22 by 2π2\pi to find xx: \newline2×2π=4π2 \times 2\pi = 4\pi
  7. Final result: Multiply 22 by 2π2\pi to find xx: \newline2×2π=4π2 \times 2\pi = 4\piSo, the radian measure equivalent to 720720 degrees is 4π4\pi radians.
