How to use this Radians to Degrees Converter 🤔

Follow these steps to convert given angle from the units of Radians to the units of Degrees.

  1. Enter the input Radians value in the text field.
  2. The calculator converts the given Radians into Degrees in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Degrees label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Degrees value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Degrees value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Radians to Degrees?

The formula to convert given angle from Radians to Degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Radians) × 180 / π

Substitute the given value of angle in radians, i.e., Angle(Radians) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in degrees, i.e., Angle(Degrees).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a robotic arm rotates by 1.5 radians to position an object accurately.
Convert this angle from radians to Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in radians is:

Angle(Radians) = 1.5

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from radians to degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Radians) × 180 / π

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Radians) = 1.5 in the above formula.

Angle(Degrees) = 1.5 × 180 / 3.14159265359

Angle(Degrees) = 85.9437

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1.5 rad is equal to 85.9437 °.

The angle is 85.9437 °, in degrees.

2

Consider that a satellite dish adjusts by 0.75 radians to align with a signal.
Convert this angle from radians to Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in radians is:

Angle(Radians) = 0.75

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from radians to degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Radians) × 180 / π

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Radians) = 0.75 in the above formula.

Angle(Degrees) = 0.75 × 180 / 3.14159265359

Angle(Degrees) = 42.9718

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.75 rad is equal to 42.9718 °.

The angle is 42.9718 °, in degrees.

Radians

Radians are a fundamental unit of angular measurement in the International System of Units (SI). One radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. Radians are essential in mathematics and physics, particularly in calculus and trigonometry, where they simplify equations and allow for the natural expression of rotational and periodic phenomena.

Degrees

Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
