First you convert the number into a decimal.

Then you multiply it by 360.


Let's say you want 2% of a circle. That means you want 2% of 360 degrees. 2% is .02. 360 * .02 = 7.2. So 2% of a circle is 7.2 degrees.

You can also set it up as a ratio.

x/360 = 2/100 is a way of saying (what) out of 360 degrees equals 2 out of 100? The way you solve this is to cross-multiply. Take the top of one and multiply by the bottom of the other and vice-versa.

x * 100 = 2 * 360

100x = 720

x = 720/100

x=7.2

Same answer, different method. :)


Do you mean percent as in percent slope or grade like on a hill? Say you are climbing a hill with 10% grade, that means a vertical height of 1 unit for every 10 units horizontal distance.

For small slopes, less than ten percent , you divide percent by 100 to get slope and multiply by 180/pi to get degrees

For example if hill is 5% slope that is 5/100 x (180/3.14) = 2.87 degrees

For bigger slopes you need to use trigonometry - find angle whose tangent is equal to the slope

For example if hill is 100% slope that is 100/100 = 1 and angle whose tangent is 1 = 45 degrees

How do you turn a percent into a degree for a circle graph?

Multiply the percentage by 360.For example, 32.5%*360 = .325*360 = 117 degrees.first divide the percent by 100. then Multiply by 360.


What degree is 150 percent of 360 degree circle?

Oh, dude, 150 percent of a 360-degree circle is like adding 50 percent more to it, right? So, 50 percent of 360 is 180, and if you add that to the original 360, you get 540 degrees. So, technically, 150 percent of a 360-degree circle is 540 degrees. Just imagine a circle doing a little extra stretch, you know?

How do you convert a percent into a degree?

Take the percentage and make it a decimal (100% = 1, 34% = .34, etc.) Take the decimal and multiply it by 360 The resulting number is the degrees of a circle. Hope this helps!


What is the value of 1 degree in inches?

The value of 1 degree in inches depends on the context, particularly the radius of the circle in question. For a circle, 1 degree corresponds to approximately 0.01745 radians. To convert this to inches, you can use the formula: arc length = radius × angle in radians. For example, if the radius is 1 inch, 1 degree would equal about 0.01745 inches.


How do you get the degree measure of sector from the percent?

You have to remember that the complete circle is 360°.When they tell you that the sector is some percent of the circle, it's the same percent of 360° !Example:A sector is 40 percent of the circle. How many degrees is it ?40 percent is the same as 0.40Multiply (0.40 x 360°) and you get 144°. Is that cool ? !


Convert degrees to meters?

Converting degrees to meters involves understanding the relationship between angles and arc length on a circle. Since one degree is equal to 1/360th of a full circle, you can use this ratio to convert degrees to radians by multiplying the degree measure by π/180. To convert radians to meters, you would need to know the radius of the circle. The formula to convert radians to arc length is arc length = radius x angle in radians.
