Question

which symbol correctly compares the two angle measures?
\\( \frac{\pi}{4} \\) radians _____ \\( 60^{\circ} \\)
a. =
b. <
c. >

Explanation:

Step1: Convert radians to degrees

Use conversion formula: $1\ \text{radian} = \frac{180^\circ}{\pi}$.
$\frac{\pi}{4} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = 45^\circ$

Step2: Compare the two angles

$45^\circ$ vs $60^\circ$ → $45^\circ < 60^\circ$

Answer:

B. <
