Degree-Radian Relation
$\begin{aligned} \pi \text { radians } &=180 \text { degrees } \\\\ 1 \text { radian } \times \pi &=180 \text { degrees } \\\\ 1 \text { radian } &=\displaystyle\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi} \\\\ &=57.2957 \text { degrees } \\\\ &\approx 57^{\circ} 18^{\prime} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} 180 \text { degree } &=\pi \text { radians } \\\\ 1 \text { degree } \times 180 &=\pi \text { radians } \\\\ 1 \text { degree } &=\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{180} \text { radians } \\\\ & \approx 0.01745 \text { radians } \end{aligned}$
