Why Convert Degrees to Radians?

Degrees and radians are both units for measuring angles, but radians are the preferred unit in mathematics and physics because they have useful mathematical properties. Many trigonometric functions and formulas in calculus and other advanced mathematics use radians.

Example

If you have an angle of 45 degrees and want to convert it to radians:

45 degrees × (π/180) = π/4 radians ≈ 0.7854 radians
