An angle measuring [tex]5.25[/tex] radians is equal to which of the angle measures given below? Round your answer to 2 decimal places after each conversion step.

Check all that apply.
A. [tex]16.49^{\circ}[/tex]
B. [tex]300^{\circ} 48^{\prime}[/tex]
C. [tex]16^{\circ} 24^{\prime}[/tex]
D. [tex]300.80^{\circ}[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the problem of converting the angle from radians to degrees and degrees to degrees, minutes format, follow these steps:

1. Convert radians to degrees:
The given angle is 5.25 radians. To convert from radians to degrees, we use the conversion factor [tex]\(1 \text{ radian} = \frac{180}{\pi} \text{ degrees}\)[/tex]. Therefore,
[tex]\[ \text{angle degrees} = 5.25 \times \left( \frac{180}{\pi} \right) \approx 300.8028424436822^\circ \][/tex]
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{angle degrees rounded} \approx 300.80^\circ \][/tex]

2. Convert degrees to degrees, minutes format:
- The integer part of the degrees is 300°.
- To find the minutes, we take the decimal part and multiply by 60:
[tex]\[ \text{minutes} = (0.8028424436822) \times 60 \approx 48.170546620932 \approx 48.17' \][/tex]
So, in degrees and minutes format, the angle is:
[tex]\[ 300^\circ 48.17' \][/tex]

3. Check which of the given options match the converted values:

Option A: [tex]\(16.49^\circ\)[/tex] does not match 300.80°.

Option B: [tex]\(300^\circ 48'\)[/tex] is very close to 300° 48.17'. Given the typical rounding in such problems, they can be considered matching.

Option C: [tex]\(16^\circ 24'\)[/tex] does not match 300° 48.17'.

Option D: [tex]\(300.80^\circ\)[/tex] matches exactly with the rounded conversion value we computed.

4. Summary of matching options:

- Option A: No
- Option B: Yes
- Option C: No
- Option D: Yes

Therefore, the angle measuring 5.25 radians corresponds to options B and D.
