In Python, the math.radians() function takes an angle measured in degrees and returns its radian equivalent as a floating-point value.

Syntax

math.radians(x)
  • x: A numeric value or expression representing an angle measured in degrees.

Here is an image illustrating some common degree-radian equivalencies:

Example 1

In the example below, the math.radians() function returns the radian equivalent of 180 degrees:

import math
print(math.radians(180))

The above code gives the following output:

3.141592653589793

Example 2

In the following example, the math.radians() function returns the radian equivalent of 57.29577951308232 degrees:

import math
print(math.radians(57.29577951308232))

The above code produces the following output:

1.0
