Math section..who woulda thought

<p>Anyone know if my calc is supposed to be in degrees or radians...because one of the questions i had my calc in degrees and after I reviewed it because this was on a practice tests i realized the values for cos etc were really in radians</p>

<p>fluke or is act always on the radian setting?</p>

<p>It depends. On the geometry problems I used degrees, and for algebra problems I use radians. I am not sure though and I never thought of that while practicing. The answer I got each time though was a choice, so hopefully I did it right.</p>

<p>just look at the answer choices. if the answer choices has a degree symbol, it is in degrees. usually radian answers have pi after it too</p>

<p>Yea kevin is right, if youve taken geometry you know that pi over some number or by itself when associated with sin,tan, or cos is radians. regular numbers like 30 or 70 with the degrees sign over them are degrees.</p>
