A radian is the angle of an arc formed when the radius is run along the circumference of the circle.
Because pi X radius is equal to half a circle or 180 degrees, we can make this conversion. If you divide radians by pi you get the number of half circles, so if we multiply this by 180 degrees it will tell you the answer in degrees.
Thus the conversion for radians to degrees is:
Degrees= radians(180/pi)
