The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 degree = 0.017453 radians 165 × 0.017453 = 2.8798
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (rad) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 3 | +0.12021 |
| 1 decimal | 2.9 | +0.02021 |
| 2 decimals | 2.88 | +0.00021 |
