Which of the following radian measures is equal to 720∘? (The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360∘. The number of radians of arc in a circle is 2π.)
Q. Which of the following radian measures is equal to 720∘? (The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360∘. The number of radians of arc in a circle is 2π.)
Understand Relationship Degrees Radians: Understand the relationship between degrees and radians. We know that 360∘ is equivalent to 2π radians. This means that 180∘ is equivalent to π radians. To convert degrees to radians, we use the formula radians=degrees×(π/180∘).
Convert 720° Radians: Convert 720° into radians using the formula from Step 1. By substituting 720° into the formula, we get 720°×(π/180°)=4π radians. This is because 720°/180°=4, and 4×π=4π.
Verify Calculation: Verify the calculation to ensure there are no math errors. We know that 360∘ is 2π radians, so 720∘, which is twice 360∘, should be twice 2π radians, which is 4π radians. This confirms our calculation is correct.
