A full circle is 360 degrees, which is equivalent to 2\u03c02\\pi2\u03c0 radians. Therefore, to convert an angle from radians to degrees, we use the conversion formula:Degrees=Radians\u00d7(180\u03c0)\\text{Degrees} = \\text{Radians} \\times \\left( \\frac{180}{\\pi} \\right)Degrees=Radians\u00d7(\u03c0180\u200b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula arises because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One full revolution is 2\u03c02\\pi2\u03c0 radians<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One full revolution is also 360 degrees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So, 2\u03c02\\pi2\u03c0 radians = 360 degrees \u2192 divide both sides by 2\u03c02\\pi2\u03c0:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>1&nbsp;radian=180\u03c0&nbsp;degrees1 \\text{ radian} = \\frac{180}{\\pi} \\text{ degrees}1&nbsp;radian=\u03c0180\u200b&nbsp;degrees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MATLAB function <code>rad2deg<\/code> is a user-defined function that implements this conversion.
