Math: trig: converting between degrees and rads on Sharp calculators

The tutor tells how to convert an angle from degrees to rads, or back, on various Sharps.

  1. On the Sharps I know, there is a button that has DRG above it. Pressing 2ndF, then that key, toggles the user between deg, rad, and grad.
  2. On the Sharps I’ve seen, DRG is over the π button, the decimal point button, or the 3 button.
  3. Get into the units the angle is in.
  4. Key in the angle.
  5. Now, press 2ndF then the key with DRG above it, until you arrive at the unit you want to convert to. When you arrive at that unit, the display should show the converted value.
