How to convert radians to degrees?

17 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi, I have this code,
clear all, close all, clc,
r = 0.08;
t = 2;
for n = 1:180,
M(1,n) = r*cos(t); %x length from center
M(2,n) = r*sin(t); %y length from center
t = t+2;
end
It is meant to find the x,y distance from the center of a circle with fixed radius (Basically calculating x,y coordinates of circumference).
However the coordinates are coming wrong and it is because Matlab is performing calculations in radians rather than in degrees. (I cross checked the values with calculator) And I don't know how to convert to radians, and none of the forum results made sense to me.
Thanks, Rohan

There is a built in function for that:
doc deg2rad
But it is rather trivial to implement it yourself:
myTrans = @(x) x./360.*(2.*pi());
myTrans(180)
ans =
3.1416

@James, mathematically speaking the other suggestions must work as well, but the output was not matching my expected output. But when I used sind and cosd, it worked perfect. Maybe I was not doing it right. Anyways thanks for the help

Degrees = 180 * radians / pi.
Rearrange as needed ;)

Radians = degrees * (pi/180)
"t" is in degrees, and you want it in radians when put into cos and sin.
cos(t * (pi/180)) and sin(t * (pi/180)) is the conversion rearranged as needed, AND put in the right place...

Doesn't seem to work... How? Please show what you mean.
