Degrees to Radians Calculator

This Degrees to Radians Calculator helps you convert an angle from degrees to radians. It uses the formula radians = degrees × π / 180, which changes the angle into radian form used in trigonometry. Multiply the degree value by π, then divide by 180 to get the answer in radians. It is a simple way to check answers, understand angle conversion, and practise basic trigonometry step by step.

Step-by-step method

1. Identify the angle in degrees.
2. Use the conversion formula.
3. Substitute the value.
4. Simplify the result (if possible).

Formula:

Example 1: 180°

Step 1 - Identify the angle in degrees.

In this problem: The given angle is 180°.

Step 2 - Use the conversion formula.

In this problem: Use the conversion formula: radians = degrees × π / 180.

Step 3 - Substitute the value.

In this problem: Substitute: radians = 180 × π / 180.

Step 4 - Simplify the result (if possible).

In this problem: Simplify to a π value: π.

Final answer: π

Example 2: 45°

Step 1 - Identify the angle in degrees.

In this problem: The given angle is 45°.

Step 2 - Use the conversion formula.

In this problem: Use the conversion formula: radians = degrees × π / 180.

Step 3 - Substitute the value.

In this problem: Substitute: radians = 45 × π / 180.

Step 4 - Simplify the result (if possible).

In this problem: Simplify to a π value: π/4.

Final answer: π/4
