\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"alpha\" is the angle in radians.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"alpha\" = \"2pi%2A%2817.5%2F360%29\" radians (! calculate !).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then from the equation (*) find r: r = \"181%2Falpha\".\r
