Question

Which is greater, an angle measured at 40° or an angle measured at 0.7 radians ? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

To compare the two angles, we need to convert the angle measured in radians to degrees.

1 radian is equal to approximately 57.2958 degrees.

So, 0.7 radians is equal to 0.7 x 57.2958 ≈ 39.73 degrees.

Since 40 degrees is greater than 39.73 degrees, the angle measured at 40 degrees is greater than the angle measured at 0.7 radians.
