    A47π​

    Step-by-step walkthrough

    Choose a solution method

    Method #1Worked solution

    Step 1: Conversion factor

    To convert degrees to radians, multiply by 180π​.

    Step 2: Substitute

    315×180π​=180315π​.

    Step 3: Simplify fraction

    180315​=47​ since both divide by 45, giving 47π​.

    Step 4: Final answer

    315°=47π​ radians.

    Method #2Why the others are wrong

    Step 1: Option B

    45π​ corresponds to 225°, not 315°.

    Step 2: Option C

    89π​ arises from an incorrect simplification of 180315​, dividing by the wrong common factor.

    Step 3: Option D

    87π​ corresponds to 157.5°, half of the correct angle, suggesting a doubling error was reversed incorrectly.

    Step 4: Confirm

    Only 47π​ correctly simplifies 180315π​.

  2. Question 2

    Convert 127π​ radians to degrees.

    B105°

    Step-by-step walkthrough

    Choose a solution method

    Method #1Worked solution

    Step 1: Conversion factor

    To convert radians to degrees, multiply by π180​.

    Step 2: Substitute

    127π​×π180​=127×180​.

    Step 3: Simplify

    121260​=105.

    Step 4: Final answer

    127π​ radians equals 105°.

    Method #2Why the others are wrong

    Step 1: Option B

    210° results from doubling the correct value, perhaps confusing 127π​ with 67π​.

    Step 2: Option C

    85° comes from an arithmetic slip when dividing 1260 by 12.

    Step 3: Option D

    120° would be the result of converting 32π​, not 127π​.

    Step 4: Confirm

    Only 105° matches the exact conversion.
