Text Formatting ⇒ column width using tabular

[coachbennett1981]

I am trying to figure out how to have more column space for table (width). My fractions are overlapping. Here is the code. Thank you for you input..

Code: Select all

\documentclass{exam}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{multicol}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
	\section*{Common Radian and Angle measures}
		
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}[h]{|p{3cm}||p{3cm}||p{3cm}|}
			\hline
\textbf{Terminal Side}&\textbf{Radian Measure of an Angle}&\textbf{Degree Measure of an Angle} \\ \hline
$\dfrac{1}{12}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{1}{8}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{1}{6}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{1}{4}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{1}{3}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{1}{2}$ revolution&$\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{2}{3}$ revolution&$\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
				$\dfrac{3}{4}$ revolution&$\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
$\dfrac{7}{8}$ revolution&$\dfrac{7}{8}\cdot 2\pi=\dfrac{\pi}{6}$&$\dfrac{1}{12}\cdot 360^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ \\ \hline
1 revolution&$1\cdot 2\pi=2\pi$&$1\cdot 360^{\circ}=360^{\circ}$ \\ \hline


\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{center}

\end{document}

You could put in something like

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2.7}

right after \begin{table}; increase or decrease the number until you like the result.

I am a bit puzzled as to why you're having this problem to begin with. Looks like a bug with \dfrac to me.

Thank you. That worked perfectly.
