102 degrees equals approximately 1.78 radians.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree value by pi divided by 180. Since there are pi radians in 180 degrees, this formula translates degrees into the radian measure, allowing calculations involving angles in a circular context.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert degrees to radians is radians = degrees * (pi / 180). This works because a full circle has 2pi radians, which equals 360 degrees, so dividing pi by 180 aligns degrees to radians proportionally. For example, 102 degrees: 102 * (pi / 180) equals about 1.78 radians.
Conversion Example
- Convert 45 degrees to radians:
- Multiply 45 by pi/180
- 45 * (3.1416 / 180)
- Approximately 0.7854 radians
- Convert 90 degrees to radians:
- 90 * (pi / 180)
- Approximately 1.5708 radians
- Convert 180 degrees to radians:
- 180 * (pi / 180)
- Exactly pi radians, about 3.1416
- Convert 270 degrees to radians:
- 270 * (pi / 180)
- Approximately 4.7124 radians

Conversion Definitions
Degrees
Degrees are units used to measure angles, with a full circle divided into 360 equal parts. They provide a standard way to describe the size of an angle relative to a complete rotation.
Radians
Radians are a measurement for angles based on the radius of a circle, where one radian equals the angle subtended at the center by an arc equal in length to the radius. They are used in mathematical calculations involving circles and trigonometry.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from 102 degrees to radians?
The conversion is precise to four decimal places when using the pi value approximation (3.1416). For most practical purposes, this level of accuracy is sufficient, but for high-precision needs, more decimal places of pi can be used.
Can I convert other degree values to radians using the same formula?
Yes, the same formula applies to any degree measure: multiply the degree value by pi divided by 180. This universal formula makes converting degrees to radians straightforward for any angle measurement.
Why do radians matter in mathematics and physics?
Radians simplify many formulas involving angles because they relate directly to the properties of circles. Using radians makes calculations in calculus, physics, and engineering more natural and less cumbersome compared to degrees.
