Program to Convert Radian to Degree

Last Updated : 26 May, 2021

Before moving to the actual solution, let’s try to find out what is a degree, a radian, and their relations.

Radian : The radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics. The length of an arc of a unit circle is numerically equal to the measurement in radians of the angle that it subtends. One radian is just under 57.3 degrees.

Degree : A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees.
The relation 2pi*rad = 360° can be derived using the formula for arc length.

An arc of a circle with the same length as the radius of that circle subtends an angle of 1 radian. The circumference subtends an angle of 2pi radians.

Therefore the formula is:

degree = radian * (180/pi)
where, pi = 22/7

Examples:

Input : radian = 20
Output : degree = 1145.4545454545455
Explanation: degree = 20 * (180/pi)

Input : radian = 5
Output : degree = 286.3636363636364
Explanation : degree = 20 * (180/pi)

Note: In this programs, we have taken the value of pi as 3.14159 to get standard result in all three languages.

C++

// C++ code to convert radian to degree
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function for convertion
double Convert(double radian)
{
    double pi = 3.14159;
    return(radian * (180 / pi));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    double radian = 5.0;
    double degree = Convert(radian);
     
    cout << degree;
    return 0;
}

    }
}

Python3

# Python code to convert radian to degree
 
# Function for convertion
def Convert(radian):
    pi = 3.14159
    # Simply used the formula
    degree = radian * (180/pi)
    return degree
 
# Driver Code
radian = 5
print("degree =",(Convert(radian)))

C#

// C# code to convert radian to degree.
using System;
 
class GFG {
 
    // Function for convertion
    static double Convert(double radian){
        double pi = 3.14159;
        return(radian * (180 / pi));
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void Main () {
        double radian = 5.0;
        double degree = Convert(radian);
        Console.Write("degree = " + degree);
    }
