# How to Solve Angles and Angle Measure

Learn how to convert degrees to radians or radians to degrees by following a step-by-step guide.

## Step by step guide to solve angles and angle measure problems

• To convert degrees to radians, use this formula: $$\color{blue}{Radians = Degrees \ × \frac{π}{180}}$$
• To convert radians to degrees, use this formula: $$\color{blue}{Degrees =Radians ×\frac{180}{π}}$$

### Angles and Angle Measure – Example 1:

Convert $$120$$ degrees to radians.

Solution:

Use this formula: Radians $$=$$ Degrees $$×\frac{π}{180}$$
Radians $$=120×\frac{π}{180}=\frac{120π}{180}=\frac{2π}{3}$$

### Angles and Angle Measure – Example 2:

Convert $$\frac{\pi}{3}$$ to degrees.

Solution:

Use this formula: Degrees $$=$$ Radians $$×\frac{180}{π}$$
Radians $$=\frac{π}{3}×\frac{180}{π}=\frac{180π}{3π}=60$$

### Angles and Angle Measure – Example 3:

Convert $$150$$ degrees to radians.

Solution:

Use this formula: Radians $$=$$ Degrees $$×\frac{π}{180}$$
Radians $$=150×\frac{π}{180}=\frac{150π}{180}=\frac{5π}{6}$$

### Angles and Angle Measure – Example 4:

Convert $$\frac{2π}{3}$$ to degrees.

Solution:

Use this formula: Degrees $$=$$ Radians $$×\frac{ 180}{ π }$$
Radians $$=\frac{2π}{3}×\frac{180}{π}=\frac{360π}{3π}=120$$
