Convert right angle to degree

Learn how to convert 1 right angle to degree step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(right \text{ } angle\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(degree\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(radian\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(right \text{ } angle\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{π}{2.0}\left(radian\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{π}{2.0}\left(rad\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(degree\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{π}{180.0}\left(radian\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{π}{180.0}\left(rad\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(right \text{ } angle\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(degree\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{π}{2.0}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(radian\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{π}{180.0}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(radian\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{π}{2.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(rad\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{π}{180.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(rad\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \dfrac{π}{2.0}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(rad\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \dfrac{π}{180.0}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(rad\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(\dfrac{π}{2.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{π}{180.0}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(\dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{π}}}{2.0} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{π}}}{180.0}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.0}{180.0} = \dfrac{1.0}{2.0}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{180.0}{1.0}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{1.0}{180.0} \times \dfrac{180.0}{1.0} = \dfrac{1.0}{2.0} \times \dfrac{180.0}{1.0}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}} \times {\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{180.0}}}{{\color{rgb(99,194,222)} \cancel{180.0}} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}}} = \dfrac{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}} \times 180.0}{2.0 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{1.0}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{180.0}{2.0}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 90\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(right \text{ } angle\right) = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 90}\left(degree\right)\)
