deg2rad

Convert angle from degrees to radians

Description

example

R= deg2rad(D)converts angle units from degrees to radians for each element ofD.

Examples

collapse all

Convert a 90 degree angle into radians.

R = deg2rad(90)
R = 1.5708

Specify the spherical distance between Munich and Bangalore in degrees and the mean radius of Earth in kilometers. Compute the distance (measured along the Earth's surface) between Munich and Bangalore, in kilometers.

D = 64.7; radEarth = 6371; R = deg2rad(D); dist = radEarth*R
dist = 7.1943e+03

Input Arguments

collapse all

Angle in degrees, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array. IfDcontains complex elements,deg2radconverts the real and imaginary parts separately.

Data Types:single|double
Complex Number Support:Yes

Output Arguments

collapse all

Angle in radians, returned as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.Ris the same size asD.
