Calculation steps

  1. Start with 90 degrees.
  2. Multiply by π and divide by 180.
  3. 90° = 1.5707963267948966 radians.

Definition and formula

A complete turn is both 360 degrees and 2π radians, which establishes the conversion factor π/180.

Radians = degrees × π ÷ 180

Worked example

90 degrees equals π/2 radians, approximately 1.5708 radians.

Common mistake

Calculator trigonometry modes matter: confirm whether an angle is in degrees or radians.

How to learn with this calculator

Begin with the worked example, then change one value while keeping the others fixed. Compare the new result and calculation steps to identify which part of the formula changed.
