Question 891865: Two students are discussing moving between degrees and radians. Critique and use their arguments in the questions that follow their discussion. Use complete sentences and proper grammar to receive full credit.
James
I remember that 360º = 2Pi radians In finding the radian measure of 120º I divided 120 by 360 to get 1/3. Since my angle was 1/3 of the whole circle and that there are 2Pi radians in a circle I think that the angle will be 1/3 of 2Pi which is 2Pi/3
Jim
If 360 degrees equals 2Pi radians then if I divide both sides 360, then 1 degree is equal to Pi/180. There 120 degrees times Pi/180 would be radian measure, which reduces to 2Pi/3.
a. Using James’ method, find the radian measure of 30 degrees.
b. Using Jim’s method, find the radian measure of 30 degrees.
c. Which method is your preferred method? Why?
