Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Degrees and Radians
Degrees and radians are two units for measuring angles. A full circle is 360 degrees, which is equivalent to 2π radians. Understanding the relationship between these two units is essential for converting angles from one to the other.

Conversion Formula
To convert an angle from degrees to radians, you can use the formula: radians = degrees × (π/180). This formula allows you to express the angle in radians as a multiple of π, which is often required in trigonometric contexts.

Quadratic Formula
Multiples of π
Expressing angles in terms of multiples of π is common in trigonometry. For example, an angle of 18° converted to radians would be expressed as a fraction of π, making it easier to work with in equations and functions that involve trigonometric ratios.
