"Hi, I'd like to show you how to convert angular measurement in degrees, to angular measurement in radians, and there's really nothing to it. It just boils down to multiplying by an appropriate conversion factor, so for instance, if I have the degree angle of 30, to convert to radians, I just need to multiply by the conversion factor, that we already know is true, so for instance here, I know that pi radians is the same as 180, so if I want to convert 30 into a radian measurement. I'm simply multiply by pi radians over 180. Thirty will go into one eighty, six times, and so now we know that 30, is the same as pi over six radians."
