Worksheet
Radian measure
1
a

State the multiplier to convert an angle from degrees to radians.

b

State the multiplier to convert an angle from radians to degrees.

2

Convert the following to radians, correct to two decimal places where applicable:

a

360 \degree

b

180 \degree

c

90 \degree

d

225 \degree

e

- 300 \degree

f

112 \degree

g

29 \degree

h

161.17 \degree

i

321 \degree 31 '

j

- 45 \degree

k

45 \degree

l

330 \degree

m

- 60 \degree

n

120 \degree

3

Determine whether the following statements are true or false. If it is false, correct the statement.

a

If 180 \degree = \pi radians, then 90 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{\pi}{2} radians.

b

60 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{\pi}{6} radians, because it is \dfrac{1}{6} of 360 \degree.

c

30 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{\pi}{3} radians, because it is half of 60 \degree.

d

210 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{7 \pi}{6} radians, because it is seven groups of 30 \degree.

e

45 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{\pi}{4} radians, because it is half of 90 \degree.

f

225 \degree must be equal to \dfrac{7 \pi}{4} radians, because it is seven groups of 45 \degree.

4

Convert the following to degrees:

a

\dfrac{\pi}{3}

b

\dfrac{\pi}{6}

c

\dfrac{\pi}{4}

d

\dfrac{3\pi}{2}

e

\dfrac{5\pi}{4}

f

-\dfrac{2 \pi}{3}

g

- \dfrac{5 \pi}{3}

h

4.2 radians

5

For each of the following angles:

i

Find the complement.

ii

Find the supplement.

a

30 \degree

b
