DEGREES

Converts an angle value in radians to degrees.

MathDEGREES(angle)

The DEGREES function in Google Sheets converts an angle value in radians to degrees. Whether you're working with trigonometry, geometry, or physics calculations, the DEGREES function simplifies moving between angle units. Dive into our comprehensive guide to master its application.

Parameters

  • angle: The angle value in radians that you want to convert to degrees.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using DEGREES with a single angle value:

    • Example: =DEGREES(1)
    • Result: 57.29577951
  2. Converting a full radian circle:

    • Example: =DEGREES(PI())
    • Result: 180

Use Cases and Scenarios

  1. Trigonometry: Convert radian values returned by functions like ATAN or ASIN into degrees for easier interpretation.
  2. Geometry: Convert angles from radians to degrees for geometric diagrams and reports.
  3. Physics: Convert radian angles to degrees for physics equations and lab measurements.
