How to Convert Between Degrees and Radians
Remember: 2π=360° & πRAD=180°
Step 1: Determine if you are given a degree or a radian
Step 2 (if degree): Write degree over 1
Step 2 (if radian): Write down your radian
Step 3: Multiply by the opposite (deg. times rad. or rad. times deg. )
Step 4: Simplify if possible
