Because it's shape is that of a cirlce and there are 360 degrees in a circle.
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees/hour). Therefore, in 2 hours, the Earth will rotate 30 degrees (15 degrees/hour x 2 hours = 30 degrees).
It rotated 15 degrees, because 360 divided by 24 is 15, and 15 times 3 is 45.
There are 360 degrees in a full rotation around the Earth.
There are 45 degrees in an octant because an octant is 1 eighth of a circle, and a circle is 360 degrees, and 45 degrees is one eighth of 360.
360
The total circumference is (arc length) times (360) divided by (the angle degrees)
The entire circumference has a central angle of 360 degrees. The arc is a fraction of the circumference. The fraction is (central angle) divided by (360). So the arc length is: (circumference) x (central angle) / (360) .
360 degrees
Qrweer
(lenth of arc/circumference)*360 degrees
360 degrees in a circle 120 degrees = 12mm 360 degrees = 36mm Therefore the circumference of the circle is 36mm.
A circle's circumference has 360 degrees around it.
360 degrees - Circumference A+
The measure of the central angle divided by 360 degrees equals the arc length divided by circumference. So 36 degrees divided by 360 degrees equals 2pi cm/ 2pi*radius. 1/10=1/radius. Radius=10 cm.
The "meaning" of this assignment of degrees, minutes and seconds is that it is a form of notation. We can accurately locate things by using a specified measurement, and a given reference, and in this case it's the Greenwich Mean.
A circle is divided into 360 degrees.
360/6 = 60 degrees
