$\arccos (\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$

Step 1

To convert degrees to radians, multiply by $\frac{π}{180 °}$ , since a full circle is $360 °$ or $2 π$ radians.

Step 2

The exact value of $\arccos (\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$ is $\frac{π}{4}$ .

$\frac{π}{4} \cdot \frac{π}{180}$ radians

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{π}{4} \cdot \frac{π}{180}$ .

Step 3.4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{π^{1 + 1}}{4 \cdot 180}$ radians

Step 3.5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{π^{2}}{4 \cdot 180}$ radians

Step 3.6

Multiply $4$ by $180$ .

$\frac{π^{2}}{720}$ radians
