Python math.degrees()

In Python, the math.degrees() function takes an angle measured in radians and returns its degree equivalent as a floating-point value.

Syntax

math.degrees(x)

• x: A numeric value or expression representing an angle in radians. If it is not a number, the function will raise a TypeError.

Here is an image that illustrates some common degree-radian equivalencies:
