Find the radian measure corresponding to the following degree measures:
Find the radian measure corresponding to the following degree measures:

(i) 300o (ii) 35o

Solution:

We know that

180° = π rad

Or in terms of degrees, we can write => 1° = π/ 180 rad

(i) 300°

Making use of the above relation, we can write => (300 × π/180) rad

= 5π/3

Therefore, the radian measure of 300o is 5π/3

(ii) 35°

Similarly, 35° in terms of radians can be written as => (35 × π/180) rad

We get : 7π/36

Therefore, the radian measure of 35o is 7π/36
