How do you write the degree measure over 360 to find the fraction of the circle given #45^circ#?

Answer 1

Mason Adams

#1/8#

the fraction of a circle with angle #45^0# is

#45/360#

we now cancel down

#45/360=(cancel(45)xx1)/(cancel(45)xx8)=1/8#

To find the fraction of the circle represented by an angle measured in degrees over 360, you simply divide the angle measure by 360.

For example, if the angle measure is 45 degrees, you would write it as:

[ \frac{45^\circ}{360^\circ} ]

Then simplify if necessary. In this case, it simplifies to:

[ \frac{1}{8} ]

So 45 degrees represents ( \frac{1}{8} ) of the circle.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
