Alright here is what im stuck on.
Question 1:

If 0 is an angle of 13pie/6, What is its measure in degrees?
Show all steps in your solution.


What i was gonna do is: 13pie/6 x 180(degrees) Divided by pie.
That would give me a Awnser of 390 degrees.

kinda hard to write with no pen and paper on the PC hehe


i have a total blank about this :S

Click to expand...

Your method is correct.....just do the multiplication! And "pie" is something you eat.....

13 pi / 6 * 180 / pi = (13*pi*180) / (6 pi) <------now, reduce the fraction
 
hmm i dont get how u want me to solve that formula.

(13*pi*180)=7351.326809
(6pi) = 18.84955

So u want me to do 7351/18?

sorry if im slow just been stuck on this thing for a while lol
 
The radian measure \(\displaystyle 2 \pi\) corresponds to one complete revelation as does the degree measure \(\displaystyle {360}^o\). Thus \(\displaystyle R\) radians equals \(\displaystyle {d}^o\) according to the following ratio:
\(\displaystyle \L \frac{R}{{d^ \circ }} = \frac{{2\pi }}{{360^ \circ }}\).
 
You've got

Code: 
13*pi*180
------------
    6 pi

or,

13*pi*30*6
-------------
   6*pi

Both numerator and denominator have factors of 6 and pi.....divide them out.

Now, what do you have left?
