Solution
Problem
Convert 150° to radians. Give your answer in terms of π.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree measure by π/180.
Start with:
150°
Multiply by the conversion factor:
150 × π/180
Simplify the numerical fraction:
150/180 = 5/6
Therefore:
150° = 5π/6 radians
The degree symbol disappears because the final angle is expressed in radians.
Result
5π/6 radians
