1. Find the degree measure corresponding to the following radian measures (Use π = 22/7)
(i) 9π/5 (ii) -5π/6 (iii) (18π/5) ^c (iv) (-3) ^c (v) 11^c (vi) 1^c

Solution:

We know that π rad = 180° ⇒ 1 rad = 180°/ π

(i)  9π/5

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(36 × 9) °

324°

∴ Degree measure of 9π/5 is 324°

(ii) -5π/6 

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(30 × -5) °

– (150) °

∴ Degree measure of -5π/6 is -150°

(iii) (18π/5)

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(36 × 18) °

648°

∴ Degree measure of 18π/5 is 648°

(iv) (-3) ^c 

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(-3780/22) ^o

(-171 18/22) ^o

(-171 ^o (18/22 × 60)’)

(-171^o (49 1/11)’)

(-171^o 49′ (1/11 × 60)’)

– (171° 49′ 5.45”)

≈ – (171° 49′ 5”)

∴ Degree measure of (-3) ^c is -171° 49′ 5”

(v) 11^c

(180/ π × 11) ^o

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(180/22 × 7 × 11) ^o

(90 × 7) °

630°

∴ Degree measure of 11^c is 630°

(vi) 1^c

(180/ π × 1) ^o

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(180/22 × 7 × 1) ^o

(1260/22) ^o

(57 3/11) ^o

(57^o (3/11 × 60)’)

(57^o (16 4/11)’)

(57^o 16′ (4/11 × 60)’)

(57^o 16′ 21.81”)

≈ (57^o 16′ 21”)

∴ Degree measure of 1^c is 57^o 16′ 21”

2. Find the radian measure corresponding to the following degree measures:
(i) 300^o (ii) 35^o (iii) -56^o (iv)135^o (v) -300^o
(vi) 7^o 30′ (vii) 125^o 30’ (viii) -47^o 30′

Solution:

We know that 180° = π rad ⇒ 1° = π/ 180 rad

(i) 300°

(300 × π/180) rad

5π/3

∴ Radian measure of 300^o is 5π/3

(ii) 35°

(35 × π/180) rad

7π/36

∴ Radian measure of 35^o is 7π/36

(iii) -56°

(-56 × π/180) rad

-14π/45

∴ Radian measure of -56° is -14π/45

(iv) 135°

(135 × π/180) rad

3π/4

∴ Radian measure of 135° is 3π/4

(v) -300°

(-300 × π/180) rad

-5π/3

∴ Radian measure of -300° is -5π/3

(vi) 7° 30′

We know that, 30′ = (1/2) °

7° 30′ = (7 1/2) °

= (15/2) ^o

= (15/2 × π/180) rad

= π/24

∴ Radian measure of 7° 30′ is π/24

(vii) 125° 30′

We know that, 30′ = (1/2) °

125° 30’ = (125 1/2) °

= (251/2) ^o

= (251/2 × π/180) rad

= 251π/360

∴ Radian measure of 125° 30′ is 251π/360

(viii) -47° 30′

We know that, 30′ = (1/2) °

-47° 30’ = – (47 1/2) °

= – (95/2) ^o

= – (95/2 × π/180) rad

= – 19π/72

∴ Radian measure of -47° 30′ is – 19π/72

3. The difference between the two acute angles of a right-angled triangle is 2π/5 radians. Express the angles in degrees.

Solution:

Given the difference between the two acute angles of a right-angled triangle is 2π/5 radians.

We know that π rad = 180° ⇒ 1 rad = 180°/ π

Given:

2π/5

(2π/5 × 180/ π) ^o

Substituting the value of π = 22/7

(2×22/(7×5) × 180/22 × 7)

(2/5 × 180) °

72°

Let one acute angle be x° and the other acute angle be 90° – x°.

Then,

x° – (90° – x°) = 72°

2x° – 90° = 72°

2x° = 72° + 90°

2x° = 162°

x° = 162°/ 2

x° = 81° and

90° – x° = 90° – 81°

= 9°

∴ The angles are 81^o and 9^o

4. One angle of a triangle is 2/3x grades, and another is 3/2x degrees while the third is πx/75 radians. Express all the angles in degrees.

Solution:

Given:

One angle of a triangle is 2x/3 grades and another is 3x/2 degree while the third is πx/75 radians.

We know that, 1 grad = (9/10) ^o

2/3x grad = (9/10) (2/3x) ^o

= 3/5x^o

We know that, π rad = 180° ⇒ 1 rad = 180°/ π

Given: πx/75

(πx/75 × 180/π) ^o

(12/5x) ^o

We know that, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

3/5x^o + 3/2x^o + 12/5x^o = 180^o

(6+15+24)/10x^o = 180^o

Upon cross-multiplication we get,

45x^o = 180^o × 10^o

= 1800^o

x^o = 1800^o/45^o

= 40^o

∴ The angles of the triangle are:

3/5x^o = 3/5 × 40^o = 24^o

3/2x^o = 3/2 × 40^o = 60^o

12/5 x^o = 12/5 × 40^o = 96^o

5. Find the magnitude, in radians and degrees, of the interior angle of a regular:
(i) Pentagon (ii) Octagon (iii) Heptagon (iv) Duodecagon.

Solution:

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n – 2) π

And each angle of polygon = sum of interior angles of polygon / number of sides

Now, let us calculate the magnitude of

(i) Pentagon

Number of sides in pentagon = 5

Sum of interior angles of pentagon = (5 – 2) π = 3π

∴ Each angle of pentagon = 3π/5 × 180^o/ π = 108^o

(ii) Octagon

Number of sides in octagon = 8

Sum of interior angles of octagon = (8 – 2) π = 6π

∴ Each angle of octagon = 6π/8 × 180^o/ π = 135^o

(iii) Heptagon

Number of sides in heptagon = 7

Sum of interior angles of heptagon = (7 – 2) π = 5π

∴ Each angle of heptagon = 5π/7 × 180^o/ π = 900^o/7 = 128^o 34′ 17”

(iv) Duodecagon

Number of sides in duodecagon = 12

Sum of interior angles of duodecagon = (12 – 2) π = 10π

∴ Each angle of duodecagon = 10π/12 × 180^o/ π = 150^o

6. The angles of a quadrilateral are in A.P., and the greatest angle is 120^o. Express the angles in radians.

Solution:

Let the angles of quadrilateral be (a – 3d) °, (a – d) °, (a + d) ° and (a + 3d) °.

We know that, the sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a + 3d = 360°

4a = 360°

a = 360/4

= 90°

Given:

The greatest angle = 120°

a + 3d = 120°

90° + 3d = 120°

3d = 120° – 90°

3d = 30°

d = 30°/3

= 10^o

∴ The angles are:

(a – 3d) ° = 90° – 30° = 60°

(a – d) ° = 90° – 10° = 80°

(a + d) ° = 90° + 10° = 100°

(a + 3d) ° = 120°

Angles of quadrilateral in radians:

(60 × π/180) rad = π/3

(80 × π/180) rad = 4π/9

(100 × π/180) rad = 5π/9

(120 × π/180) rad = 2π/3

7. The angles of a triangle are in A.P., and the number of degrees in the least angle is to the number of degrees in the mean angle as 1:120. Find the angle in radians.

Solution:

Let the angles of the triangle be (a – d) °, a° and (a + d) °.

We know that, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

a – d + a + a + d = 180°

3a = 180°

a = 60°

Given:

Number of degrees in the least angle / Number of degrees in the mean angle = 1/120

(a-d)/a = 1/120

(60-d)/60 = 1/120

(60-d)/1 = 1/2

120-2d = 1

2d = 119

d = 119/2

= 59.5

∴ The angles are:

(a – d) ° = 60° – 59.5° = 0.5°

a° = 60°

(a + d) ° = 60° + 59.5° = 119.5°

Angles of triangle in radians:

(0.5 × π/180) rad = π/360

(60 × π/180) rad = π/3

(119.5 × π/180) rad = 239π/360

8. The angle in one regular polygon is to that in another as 3:2 and the number of sides in first is twice that in the second. Determine the number of sides of two polygons.

Solution:

Let the number of sides in the first polygon be 2x and

The number of sides in the second polygon be x.

We know that, angle of an n-sided regular polygon = [(n-2)/n] π radian

The angle of the first polygon = [(2x-2)/2x] π = [(x-1)/x] π radian

The angle of the second polygon = [(x-2)/x] π radian

Thus,

(x-1)/(x-2) = 3/2

Upon cross-multiplication we get,

2x – 2 = 3x – 6

3x-2x = 6-2

x = 4

∴ Number of sides in the first polygon = 2x = 2(4) = 8

Number of sides in the second polygon = x = 4

9. The angles of a triangle are in A.P. such that the greatest is 5 times the least. Find the angles in radians.

Solution:

Let the angles of the triangle be (a – d) ^o, a^o and (a + d) ^o.

We know that, the sum of angles of triangle is 180°.

a – d + a + a + d = 180°

3a = 180°

a = 180°/3

= 60^o

Given:

Greatest angle = 5 × least angle

Upon cross-multiplication,

Greatest angle / least angle = 5

(a+d)/(a-d) = 5

(60+d)/(60-d) = 5

By cross-multiplying we get,

60 + d = 300 – 5d

6d = 240

d = 240/6

= 40

Hence, angles are:

(a – d) ° = 60° – 40° = 20°

a° = 60°

(a + d) ° = 60° + 40° = 100°

∴ Angles of triangle in radians:

(20 × π/180) rad = π/9

(60 × π/180) rad = π/3

(100 × π/180) rad = 5π/9

10. The number of sides of two regular polygons is 5:4 and the difference between their angles is 9^o. Find the number of sides of the polygons.

Solution:

Let the number of sides in the first polygon be 5x and

The number of sides in the second polygon be 4x.

We know that, angle of an n-sided regular polygon = [(n-2)/n] π radian

The angle of the first polygon = [(5x-2)/5x] 180^o

The angle of the second polygon = [(4x-1)/4x] 180^o

Thus,

180^o [(4(5x-2) – 5(4x-2))/20x] = 9

Upon cross-multiplication we get,

(20x – 8 – 20x + 10)/20x = 9/180

2/20x = 1/20

2/x = 1

x = 2

∴Number of sides in the first polygon = 5x = 5(2) = 10

Number of sides in the second polygon = 4x = 4(2) = 8
