Answer

The statement makes sense.

Work Step by Step

One full revolution of a circle is given by $2\pi $ or $360{}^\circ $. Thus, $\begin{align} & 2\pi =360{}^\circ \\ & \pi =180{}^\circ \\ & \frac{\pi }{180{}^\circ }=1 \end{align}$ If an angle in degrees is converted into radians, it is multiplied by $\frac{\pi }{180{}^\circ }$ because the value of $\frac{\pi }{180{}^\circ }$ is equal to $1$. So it does not change its value but converts it into radians.
