Problem

Let dd denote the degree measure and rr the radian measure of the same angle. (i) Starting from the fact that the measure of a straight angle is both 180o180^{\text{o}} and π\pi radians, derive the general relation connecting dd and rr. (ii) Show that if two angles differ by an integer multiple of 360o360^{\text{o}}, then their radian measures differ by an integer multiple of 2π2\pi. (iii) Using part (ii), list three distinct angles, all coterminal with 5π3\dfrac{5\pi}{3} radians, whose degree measures lie between −1080o-1080^{\text{o}} and 1080o1080^{\text{o}}. Give exact values only.
