Degrees and radians worksheet for Precalculus
In Precalculus radians become the default unit, because arc length and the graphs of the trig functions are built on them. Conversions here include negative angles and angles beyond a full turn, and some add a follow-up step, like adding 2π or comparing the result with 180°.
Also taught in Algebra 2, at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
Convert to degrees, then give its reference angle:
- Multiply by 180 over pi; the pi cancels: -7 × 180 ÷ 9 = -140.
- -140° is coterminal with 220°, which is in Quadrant III.
- Reference angle: 220° - 180° = 40°.
The answer is ; .
Where students go wrong
Changing the angle while converting it. -195° is -13π/12, not 165° turned into radians: a conversion changes the unit only, so the sign and the number of turns stay the same.
Also called converting degrees to radians, radian measure or angle measure.
