🔸 01. Find the value of one radian in the sexagesimal system.+

We know,

πc = 180º

or, 1c =

or, 1c = 57º 17′ 45ʺ

🔸 02. 11º 15′ What is its circular measure?+

D = 11º 15′ =

or,

or,

or, [Substituting the value of D in this equation]

or,

🔸 03. If the circular measure of an angle is , what is its value in the sexagesimal system?+

∵ From , we get

or,

or, [Substituting the value of R in this equation]

or, = 105º

🔸 04. Is one radian greater than 60º? Answer with reason.+

We know,

[∵ ]

∴ We can say that 60º is greater than one radian. So, one radian is not greater than 60º.

🔸 05. If two angles of a triangle are 105º and , what is the circular measure of the third angle?+

∴ The circular measure of the third angle

= [∵ Sum of the three angles of a triangle ]

=

=

🔸 06. Show that +

We know,

= [∵ The denominator is greater than the numerator, so the value of this fraction is less than one.]
