How to Convert Radians to Deg Using a TI-89

The TI-89 calculator by Texas Instruments is designed for advanced math, physics and engineering applications and is the most powerful calculator in the TI line. Unlike other models of TI calculators, the TI-89 contains a computer algebra system that accepts algebraic symbols and can solve equations in terms of variables. While most students are expected to know how to convert radians to degrees without the aid of a calculator, the TI-89 can help a student when checking her work.
