2 Radians to Degrees
Before going to see what is 2 radians to degrees, let us recall a few basics. We have two units used to measure an angle: radians and degrees. 1 radian is the angle made by an arc of a circle whose length is equal to that of its radius. 1 degree is one out of 360 parts when the complete angle at the center of a circle is divided into 360 parts. An angle can be converted from radians to degrees using a formula. Using that formula, 2 radians in degrees is about 114.592 degrees.
Let us see how to convert 2 radians to degrees and also solve a few examples using this.

What is 2 Radians to Degrees?
2 radians to degrees is approximately equivalent to 114.592 degrees in decimals and the value of 2 radians in degrees in terms of π is 360/π. We can convert an angle from one unit to the other unit using the following formulas:
We can understand these formulas using the following figure.
Let us see how to convert 2 radians to degrees using one of these formulas.
How to Convert 2 Radians in Degrees?
We can convert 2 radians in degrees using three methods. Here is the description of each of the methods:
Method 1
We know that 1 radian to degrees is 57.296°. i.e.,
1 radian = 57.296°
Multiplying both sides by 2,
2(1 radian ) = 2(57.296°)
2 radian = 114.592°
Thus, 2 radians in degrees is 114.592°.
Method 2
We can use the conversion formula of radians to degrees to convert 2 radians to degrees. The formula is:
Degrees = Radians × 180°/π
Substitute "Radians = 2" here,
Degrees = 2 × 180°/π ≈ 114.592°.
The final answer is calculated using a calculator and is rounded to 3 decimals.
Thus, 2 radians to degrees is approximately equal to 114.592°.
Method 3
We know that if we rotate the radius of a circle to complete one revolution, the angle formed at its center is 360 degrees. We also know that this angle in radians is 2π radians. i.e.,
2π radians = 360°
Dividing both sides by π,
2 radians = 360°/π ≈ 114.592°.
We can understand this easily using the following figure.
Hence, 2 radians to degrees is equivalent to 360°/π (or) 114.592°.
Important Notes on 2 Radians in Degrees:
- 1 radian ≈ 57.296° and hence 2 radians ≈ 114.592°.
- An angle without any unit is in radians. For example, if you see the angle to be just 2 somewhere, it means that it is 2 radians.
- To express the angle which is in radians in degrees, we multiply it by 180°/π.
- To express the angle which is in degrees in radians, we multiply it by π/180°.
