To convert from degrees to radians, multiply by π180°\dfrac{\pi}{180\text{\textdegree}} .

 a.  1°=1°(π180°)=π180=3.141801°0.017 rad\begin{align*} \text{ a. } \ 1\text{\textdegree} &= 1\text{\textdegree} \left( \dfrac{\pi}{180\text{\textdegree}} \right)\\ & = \dfrac{\pi}{180 }\\ & = \dfrac{3.14}{180 }\\ 1\text{\textdegree} & \approx 0.017 \ rad \end{align*}

Thus, 1°0.017 rad1\text{\textdegree} \approx 0.017\ rad
