A full circle is <strong>360 degrees<\/strong> or <strong>2\u03c0 radians<\/strong>. So the key conversion factor between the two units is: 180\u2218=\u03c0&nbsp;radians180^\\circ = \\pi \\text{ radians}180\u2218=\u03c0&nbsp;radians<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert from <strong>radians to degrees<\/strong>, use the formula: Degrees=Radians\u00d7180\u2218\u03c0\\text{Degrees} = \\text{Radians} \\times \\frac{180^\\circ}{\\pi}Degrees=Radians\u00d7\u03c0180\u2218\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s apply that to the angle <strong>-5\u03c0\/4 radians<\/strong>: Degrees=(\u22125\u03c04)\u00d7180\u2218\u03c0\\text{Degrees} = \\left(-\\frac{5\\pi}{4}\\right) \\times \\frac{180^\\circ}{\\pi}Degrees=(\u221245\u03c0\u200b)\u00d7\u03c0180\u2218\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice how the \u03c0 terms cancel out: =\u22125\u22c51804=\u22129004=\u2212225\u2218= -\\frac{5 \\cdot 180}{4} = -\\frac{900}{4} = -225^\\circ=\u221245\u22c5180\u200b=\u22124900\u200b=\u2212225\u2218<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>-5\u03c0\/4 radians is equal to -225 degrees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The negative sign tells us the angle is measured in the <strong>clockwise<\/strong> direction from the positive x-axis, which is typical for negative angle measures. If we visualize it on the unit circle, -225\u00b0 rotates us <strong>225 degrees clockwise<\/strong>, landing us in the <strong>third quadrant<\/strong>, the same position as <strong>135\u00b0 counterclockwise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u03c0 radians = 180\u00b0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiply radians by 180\/\u03c0 to convert to degrees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>-5\u03c0\/4 \u00d7 180\/\u03c0 = -225\u00b0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always keep track of whether you&#8217;re working in radians or degrees \u2014 many mistakes in trigonometry happen because of unit confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-832.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-230969\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert the angle measure to degrees to radians. -5pi\/4 degrees is the same as what degrees?
