degrees() : Convert Radians to Degrees

Convert an angle from radians to degrees.

Signature

degrees(radians)

Parameters

Returns

Type: Double

The angle in degrees.

Examples

Convert Pi

<p>π radians = {{format(degrees(pi()), '0.0')}}°</p>
<p>π/2 radians = {{format(degrees(pi() / 2), '0.0')}}°</p>
<p>π/4 radians = {{format(degrees(pi() / 4), '0.0')}}°</p>

Output:

<p>π radians = 180.0°</p>
<p>π/2 radians = 90.0°</p>
<p>π/4 radians = 45.0°</p>

Convert Trigonometric Result

<p>Angle: {{format(degrees(asin(0.5)), '0.0')}}°</p>

Output:

<p>Angle: 30.0°</p>

Display Angles

{{#each model.angles}}
  <li>{{this}} rad = {{format(degrees(this), '0.0')}}°</li>
{{/each}}

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    angles = new[] { 0, Math.PI / 6, Math.PI / 4, Math.PI / 3, Math.PI / 2 }
};

Output:

<li>0 rad = 0.0°</li>
<li>0.52 rad = 30.0°</li>
<li>0.79 rad = 45.0°</li>
<li>1.05 rad = 60.0°</li>
<li>1.57 rad = 90.0°</li>

Notes

• Converts radians to degrees
• Formula: degrees = radians × (180/π)
• Inverse of radians() function
• Commonly used with trigonometric functions
• 2π radians = 360°, π radians = 180°
