DEGREES
The DEGREES function converts radians to degrees. It is useful when working with trigonometry or geometry calculations.
Example explanation
In this example, cells B2 and B3 use the DEGREES function to convert the radian value in cells A2 and A3 into degrees.
Syntax 🔗
=DEGREES(angle)
angle | The angle in radians that you want to convert to degrees. |
About DEGREES 🔗
Use the DEGREES function in Excel to convert angles from radians to degrees. This function is useful in trigonometry, geometry, or any field where you work with angular measurements.
Examples 🔗
To convert an angle of 1.5708 radians into degrees, use the DEGREES function like this: =DEGREES(1.5708)
For a trigonometry problem where the angle is given in radians as 2.3562, convert it to degrees with the DEGREES function: =DEGREES(2.3562)
Notes 🔗
Input the angle in radians as the argument for the DEGREES function. Excel interprets angles based on the unit you provide, so ensure that your input matches the expected unit.
Questions 🔗
The DEGREES function is useful when you need to convert angles in radians to degrees. This conversion can be crucial when working on mathematical problems that involve trigonometry or geometry, or when specific calculations require angle measurements in degrees.
Can I reverse the conversion with the DEGREES function?No, the DEGREES function is specifically designed to convert angles from radians to degrees. If you need to convert degrees to radians, you should use the RADIANS function in Excel.
Is the DEGREES function accurate in converting radians to degrees?Yes, the DEGREES function accurately performs the conversion of angles from radians to degrees. It follows the standard formula for this conversion, ensuring the correctness of the degree measurement.
