The processes involved when converting from radian to degrees can be a little bit technical, but it is not something you can't understand as long as you follow the various steps that will be shared later in this answer.

1. The first thing you need to understand is the relationship between π radians and degrees. For any conversion from radian to degrees you may decide you make, always remember that: π radians = 180°. However, you can simplify this further to get: 1 radian = 180°/ π.

2. You also need to understand that 2π radians are not the same as 2 radians if π radian is equal to 180°, 2π radians = 360°.

3. Let us assume you are to convert π/6 radians to degrees. All you need to do is multiply the radians by 180/π i.e., π/6 × 180/π = 180/6 = 30°.

4. Practice with more examples.

Radian and degrees are two ways to measure angles in circles. For some, it is easier to use the measurement in degrees than it is radian.

If that is the case for you, you may use these steps to convert the measurement from radian to degree.

• First, be aware of the fact that 1 radian is equivalent to 180 degrees

• Knowing this, the next step is to multiply the radian by 180

• This number will get you the degree conversion that you are looking for.

• Lastly, to get better with the conversion, practice converting radian to degrees very often.
