How would you convert an angle in degrees to an angle in radians?

For reference, one full circle is 360 degrees or 2pi radians.

If we were to convert 360 degrees to radians, we could set up the following equation:

360k = 2pi

where k is a constant. By solving for k, we can find what value we must multiply any angle in degrees by to get its radian counterpart.

Divide both sides by 360:

k = 2pi/360

Reduce:

k = pi/180

So to convert an angle from degrees to radians, multiply it by pi/180. For example, 120 degrees would be:

120 * pi/180 = 2pi/3 radians
