Question

[TRIG] What part of a complete revolution is an angle of 45 degrees?

Answer 1

what is a complete revolution

Answer 2

360 degrees

Answer 3

so to answer the question, you need to reduce 45/360

Answer 4

for instance, if the angle was 180 (instead of 45), then it would be 180/360 = 1/2 of a full revolution

Answer 5

and i get 8, oh i see

Answer 6

1/8 actually

Answer 7

45/360 = 1/8

Answer 8

so 45 degrees is 1/8 of a full rotation

Answer 9

45/360 = 0.125 though..

Answer 10

1/8 = 0.125

Answer 11

that's why

Answer 12

for future reference how would i translate the decimal to fraction form?

Answer 13

0.125 = 125/1000 since the 5 is in the thousandths place

Answer 14

125/1000 would then reduce to 1/8 after dividing both parts by 125 (the GCF)

Answer 15

this trick only works with decimals that terminate

Answer 16

ok thank you

Answer 17

it won't work with repeating decimals
