In this article I will show you how to convert 742 radians into arcseconds. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 742 rad to arcsec. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Radians to Arcseconds
A radian is greater than a arcsecond. I know that a rad is greater than a arcsec because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 742 radians into arcseconds, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for rad to arcsec is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 742 rad to arcsec by multiplying 206264.71498823
by the number of radians we have, which is 742.
So, the answer to the question "what is 742 radians in arcseconds?" is 153048418.52127 arcsec.
