Hey, I'm unsure how to go about this question:
Given that 140° = kπ, find the exact value of k?
Help appreciated, thank you in advance! :smile:

rerrange to find k so k=140 divided by (pi)
Soooo answer equals 44.6 to 1 d.p

π radians is 180°.

So formula becomes 140° = k x 180°

Essentially, k = 140/180 = 7/9

Just make RHS in degrees or LHS in radians

I would say that 140 degrees is 7/18 of circle which in radians is x 7/18 = 7π/9 radians. No need to memorise any formulas or anything.
