Angle Conversion to Radians in JavaScript

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore the conversion of angles from degrees to radians in JavaScript. We will use the degree to radian formula and the Math.PI constant to develop a function that can convert angles from degrees to radians. This lab will help you understand the concept of radians and how to perform mathematical calculations involving angles in JavaScript.

Converting Degrees to Radians

To convert an angle from degrees to radians, follow these steps:

Open the Terminal/SSH.
Type node to start coding.
Use the degree to radian formula along with Math.PI.
Apply the formula to the angle in degrees to get the angle in radians.

Here's the formula in JavaScript:

const degreesToRads = (deg) => (deg * Math.PI) / 180.0;

For example, if you want to convert 90 degrees to radians, you can use the degreesToRads function like this:

degreesToRads(90.0); // ~1.5708
