How do you turn -15 degree into radians?

Answer 1

Madelyn Adams

Use the fact that #180^@ = pi " radians"#
to get #-15^@ = -pi/12# radians

Since #color(white)("XXX")180^@ = pi# radians

#color(white)("XXX")1^@ = pi/180# radians

and #color(white)("XXX")-15^@= (-15)*pi/180 =- 1/12pi = -pi/12# radians

To convert -15 degrees to radians, you can use the formula:

Radians = Degrees × (π / 180)

So, for -15 degrees:

Radians = -15 × (π / 180)

Radians = -15π / 180

This can be simplified to:

Radians = -π / 12

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
