Arranging angle measurements in ascending order

504 Views Asked by At

Arrange the following assortment of angle measures in ascending order; 210°, 350°, 2π, 5.3 radians, 90°, 1.7 radians, π/3 , 1 radian, 55°, π.

I only just started learning about angle measurements and so I'm struggling with this question. How would I correctly place them in ascending order? Any help is appreciated.

Four angles are in degrees: 210,350,90,55. Three are in radians: 5.3,1.7,1. Another three are also in radians but expressed in terms of $\pi$.

So you need to convert them all to some common unit, say radians. Thus multiply each of the degree values by $\pi/180$ and use $\pi=3.1416$ to convert the multiples of $\pi$. Then you should be able to see the correct order.
