NA.

Example:

In the example below, toDegrees() method returns an angle measured in radians into angle measured in degrees.

public class MyClass {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  double pi = Math.PI;
  System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(pi/6)); 
  System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(pi/3)); 
  System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(pi/2)); 
  System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(pi));     
 }
}

The output of the above code will be:
