Octant
A full circle is 360 degrees. One eight of a full circle is 360/8 = 45 degrees
1/8= 0.125 x 100 = 12.5% Rocket Science!!!
12.5%
360 divided by 8
One eighth plus one eighth is one fourth.
One eighth of a circle.
One eighth of a circle.
Half circle plus quarter circle is equal to three-fourths of a circle. Three-fourths of a circle plus one eighth of a circle is seven-eighths. You still need one more eighth to complete the circle.
Semi-quadrant
No. The Diameter is the length from one end to the next. The radius is half of that.
A quarter of a circle plus an eighth of a circle is what percent of a circle?
There are 45 degrees in an octant because an octant is 1 eighth of a circle, and a circle is 360 degrees, and 45 degrees is one eighth of 360.
One eighth of a turn
A full circle is 360 degrees. One eight of a full circle is 360/8 = 45 degrees
1/8= 0.125 x 100 = 12.5% Rocket Science!!!
Since an entire circle is 2π radians, 1/8 would be π/4
A similar but smaller instrument called the octant. The octant was one eighth ("octo" is latin for eight) of a circle, while a sextant ("sextus" is Latin for "six") is one sixth of a circle. An even earlier instrument was called a quadrant. Enter your guesses as to how big a "quadrant" is in the Discussion area!
