visually estimate the measure of the angle below in the units specified.
a. consider the angle depicted in figure A.
i. what is the measure of the angle in units of 1/6th of the circumference?
ii. what is the measure of the angle in units of 1/4th of the circumference?
iii what is the measure of the angle in units of the circumference?
Solution
Visually, we can see that the angle A is around 300 degrees. Let us represent it in the given different units:
(a) We know 1/6 of the circumference is 360/6 = 60. Therefore, the angle A (300 degrees), will be 5 times the 1/6th of circumeference.
(b) We know that 1/4th of the circumference is 360/4 = 90 degrees. Therefore, angle A is 300/90 = 10/3 times the 1/4th of the circumference.
(c) Measure of angle in units of the unit circle would be 300/360 = 5/6 times the circumference
