An angle in standard position measures $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ radians. If the angle is increased by $45^\circ$ , what is the measure of the new angle, in radians?

A
$\frac{3\pi}{7}$
B
$\frac{14\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{12\pi}{11}$
$\frac{11\pi}{12}$ Cevap
E
$\frac{3\pi}{4}$

Cevap

The correct answer is

\frac{11\pi}{12}

To find the final angle measure, first convert the rotation angle of

45^\circ

into radians. Since

180^\circ = \pi

radians, multiplying

45^\circ

\frac{\pi}{180^\circ}

gives

\frac{\pi}{4}

radians. Next, add the initial angle and the rotation:

\frac{2\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4}

. Finding a common denominator of

12

, the sum is

\frac{8\pi}{12} + \frac{3\pi}{12} = \frac{11\pi}{12}

radians.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Convert the rotation angle from degrees to radians.

45^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{\pi}{4}

radians

To perform the addition, both angle measures must be in the same unit (radians).

Add the two radian measures.

\frac{2\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{8\pi}{12} + \frac{3\pi}{12} = \frac{11\pi}{12}

radians

An increase in angle measure corresponds to counterclockwise rotation, which means adding the two angles.
