π = Pi letter (3.14)
------------------------------------
8.3
To convert radians to degrees, multiply by (180)/(π), since a full circle is 360^(o) or 2π radians.
8.3*(180)/(π) degrees

Multiply 8.3 by (180)/(π) to get (1494)/(π).
(1494)/(π) degrees

π is approximately equal to 3.1416.
(1494)/(3.1416) degrees

Divide 1494 by 3.1416 to get 475.5551.
475.5551 degrees

-11.6
To convert radians to degrees, multiply by (180)/(π), since a full circle is 360^(o) or 2π radians.
-11.6*(180)/(π) degrees

Multiply -11.6 by (180)/(π) to get -(2088)/(π).
-(2088)/(π) degrees

π is approximately equal to 3.1416.
-(2088)/(3.1416) degrees

Divide -2088 by 3.1416 to get -664.6313.
-664.6313 degrees
