Degrees, Radians and Pi(e)

Hello, fellow reader.
I feel like being Kalid Jr. today so I will explain to you the way I convert radians to degrees and vice-versa.

It may not be revolutionizing, and someone out there must've already come up with it, but I decided to create formulas using the proportions my math teacher has taught me.

Let's go over the basics:





I've colored the degrees in blue and the radians in orange so that you can keep up with my not-always-clear explanations better.

So, like previously said, I have come up with formulas for both degrees and radians, just with basic manipulations.

For radians:                            For degrees:
                         

Let's consider this first                                And let's verify it 
simple example of my                                  using my radian formula
degree formula:                                          (this time using a fraction!):

                            

So, this concludes my post about degrees and radians. I hope you guys enjoyed and
I hope it cleared up any clouds in your sky of mathematics!

  1. Brilliant, gorgeous, colour-coded, true...one question: why c instead of r? Just curious!
