How do I convert degrees to radians?

Let's start from the beginning - what is a radian? Radian (represented by the symbol rad) is a standard unit for measuring angles. 1 radian is approximately 57.2958 degrees.

To convert degrees to radians, you can use the following formula:

radians = π/180° × degrees

For instance, if you were trying to determine what is a 90° angle in radians, you would compute the following calculations:

radians = π/180° × 90° = π/2 rad ≈ 1.5708 rad

Sounds cumbersome? Don't worry, Omni degrees to radians converter will do all the work for you!
