how many degrees are in a full circle?

anonymous · Answer

360

amistre64 · Answer

good; and it appears they give you 6 segments; with 5 measuresments.  How would we determine the last measure if we know that the whole thing is 360?

anonymous · Answer

360

anonymous · Answer

try to find the missing mesurement so that the circle =360

amistre64 · Answer

correct :)

it may be easier to break it down into parts and dismiss the useless information; we know that the whole is 360; that splits apart into two equal parts 180 and 180.

I see 2 pieces that already total to 180; that leaves 180 to fill

i see 2 more pieces that total to 80; that leaves us with 100 to fill

the last piece left is 20; 100 - 20 has to give us the missing peice then right?

anonymous · Answer
