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.

Converting between Degrees & Radians
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 terms of π, which is often required in trigonometric contexts.

Quadratic Formula
Multiples of π
When expressing angles in radians, it is common to represent them as multiples of π. For example, an angle of π/6 radians corresponds to 30 degrees. This representation simplifies calculations in trigonometry and helps in understanding the properties of angles.
