(a)pi/2



Multiply by 180/pi to get


(pi/2)*(180/pi)


(pi*180)/(2*pi)


180/2 ... the 'pi' terms cancel


90


So pi/2 radians = 90 degrees


---------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)-7pi/4



Multiply by 180/pi to get


(-7pi/4)*(180/pi)


(-7pi*180)/(4*pi)


(-7*180)/4 ... the 'pi' terms cancel


-1260/4


-315


So -7pi/4 radians = -315 degrees
