# Convert Angle from Radians to Degrees

To convert an angle from radians to degrees multiply by the common ratio of 360° divided by τ (6.283) radians.

## Explanation

Observe that a full rotation in radians is τ radians and a full rotation in degrees is 360°. The constant τ is a naturally occuring number approximately equal to 6.2831853071. To convert an angle from radians to degrees, we multiply by 360° over τ. The radians units cancel leaving us with the angle in degrees.

## Examples

### Convert 1 Radian to Degrees
