	Radian measures of angles (adv. math)
brittwit	19 year(s) ago I'm having problems understanding how to do this. If someone could help that would be awesome..and so would they ;) The question goes: The latitude of Oklahoma City is 35.5deg north. How far is it from the equator if the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles? The answer is worked liked this: 35.5deg = 0.6196 rad Distance = 0.6916(3960-->the radius)=2453.6 mi But how do you get 35.5deg to equal 0.6196 rad??? :huh: I [b]really[/b] need help with this Post edited by: brittwit, at: 2006/12/11 22:35
