Question

What fractional part of a degree is 45'?

__ / __ °

Answer 1

Root 2 over 2

Answer 2

how do you get the answer?

Answer 3

well we draw a diangonal through a square, with sides 1, then using the pytagorean throem on that we get the hypotenuse which will be root 2

Answer 4

According to me, the answer is different
1 degree = 60'
so 45'/60' gives 3/4 after simplification

Answer 5

What answer do u have??

Answer 6

or the answer could also show up as 1over root 2, after rationalizing

Answer 7

\[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\]is the sine and cosine of a 45 degree angle. it is not a 'fractional part of 45" whatever that means

Answer 8

i think this means "what part of a degree is 45 minutes" in which case, since there are 60 minutes in one degree the portion is
\[\frac{45}{60}\]

Answer 9

or if you prefer
\[\frac{3}{4}\] meaning 45 minutes is 3/4th of one degree

Answer 10

it was \[45'\] yes
