Since the earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, each 1-hour time zone

extends (360/24) = 15 degrees in longitude.

How do you write a in a circle?

Each time you write i new letter or word then turn its angle slightely to the ammount you like takes work but ends with a result. :D


If i was Looking at a standard wallclock at the time 630 what is the angle in nearest degrees created by the minute hand and the hour hand?

They do not form any angle because they are on top of each other. However a straight line is considered to be 180 degrees and a circle 360 degrees.


Is earth tilted?

Yes, the Earth is tilted relative to the orbit around the sun. This is the cause of seasons and midnight sun/dark time north of the Arctic circle and south of the Antarctic circle (each located at 90° minus the tilt angle of their respective hemisphere).


Is a revolution angle 360 or 180 degrees?

180 degrees is halfway through the circle. 360 degrees is one time around the circle. So 360° is the answer.


How do you divide a circle in to fifths?

To divide a circle into fifths, you would start by drawing a horizontal line through the center of the circle to create two equal halves. Then, draw another line perpendicular to the first line to divide the circle into quarters. Next, draw a line at a 72-degree angle from the horizontal line to create one-fifth of the circle. Repeat this step four more times, each time rotating the angle by 72 degrees to divide the circle into fifths.

How would you construct an isosceles triangle if only given the vertex angle and the radius of the circumscribed circle?

You have an isosceles triangle, and a circle that is drawn around it. You know the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle, and you know the radius of the circle. If you use a compass and draw the circle according to its radius, you can begin your construction. First, draw a bisecting cord vertically down the middle. This bisects the circle, and it will also bisect your isosceles triangle. At the top of this cord will be the vertex of your isosceles triangle. Now is the time to work with the angle of the vertex. Take the given angle and divide it in two. Then take that resulting angle and, using your protractor, mark the angle from the point at the top of the cord you drew. Then draw in a line segment from the "vertex point" and extend it until it intersects the circle. This new cord represents one side of the isosceles triangle you wished to construct. Repeat the process on the other side of the vertical line you bisected the circle with. Lastly, draw in a line segment between the points where the two sides of your triangle intersect the circle, and that will be the base of your isosceles triangle.


Which regular polygon will have the largest angle measure?

Whether you are talking about the measure of each interior angle, or the total of all the interior angles, there is no largest. The more sides a regular polygon has, the larger it angles will be. As the number of sides grows without bound, the measure of each interior angle gets closer and closer to 180 degrees, and the polygon looks more and more like a circle. The sum of the interior angles increases by 180 degrees every time you add a side.


Why are sine functions such good models for repetitive behavior?

Repetitive behavior can be described by a point moving in a circle. The time of repetition is equivalent to time taken by that particle to complete that circle. When the point moves in a circle, its angle changes from 0 to 360 degrees; all of these values can be given by a sine function or a cosine function.


What is angular speed measured in?
