Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on standard conversion formulas. For precise conversions, the angles are processed with appropriate mathematical constants.
The Formula Explained
Degrees to Radians: \( R = D \times \frac{\pi}{180} \)
Radians to Degrees: \( D = R \times \frac{180}{\pi} \)
Glossary of Terms
- Degrees (°): A degree is a measure of angle equal to 1/360 of a full circle.
- Radians: A radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics.
- Gradians (gons): A gradian is a unit of angle that divides the circle into 400 parts.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I convert degrees to radians?
Multiply the number of degrees by π/180 to convert to radians.
What is a radian?
A radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics.
Can I use this converter offline?
This tool requires an internet connection to function as it is a web-based calculator.
Why would I use gradians over degrees?
Gradians are used in some fields where a decimal division is preferred, such as surveying.
What are the limits of conversion?
The conversion tool can handle a wide range of input values, but very large numbers might be subject to rounding errors.
