Find the Radian Measure Corresponding to the Following Degree Measure : \( 125^\circ 30′ \)
First convert minutes into degrees:
\[ 30′ = \frac{30}{60}^\circ = \frac{1}{2}^\circ \]
Therefore,
\[ 125^\circ 30′ = 125.5^\circ = \frac{251}{2}^\circ \]
To convert a degree measure into radians, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Radian} = \text{Degree} \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \]
Conversion into Radians
\[ \frac{251}{2}^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \]
\[ = \frac{251\pi}{360} \]
Answer
\[ \frac{251\pi}{360} \]
