To convert from degrees to radians, we use the conversion factor that 180 degrees is equal to π radians (or π/180 radians per degree).
Given that the angle is 45 degrees, we can calculate the radian measure as follows:
Radian measure = (45 degrees) * (π/180 radians per degree)
Radian measure = 45π/180
Simplifying further:
Radian measure = π/4
Therefore, the radian measure of a 45 degree angle is π/4.
