The short answer is "They Don't!"First we must understand what a convention is. A convention is simply an agreement that we all follow. Sometimes there are many conventions. E.g. We measure speed in kph, mph, mach and knots to name a few. In some cases the whole world agrees on a single convention.By convention a circle is divided into 360 slices, each slice is called "one degree". Thus a circle is divided into 360 degrees and now we have a tool to measure angles. This convention is world wide.A square is a square because it has 4 equal sides and 4 equal corners. To measure a square or any polygon, we move along the boundary and using our measuring device we measure every change of direction. A square measures 360 degrees.If we measure a circle using the same rules that we apply to polygons we must start at a point on the circumference and measure each change of direction. A circle is always changing, thus we can say that a circle has an infinite number of changes of direction. Each change is infinitely close to 180 degrees. Thus a circle has an infinite number of degrees when measured using the same rules that we apply to polygons.Consider the following test given by teachers to children.How many degrees in a triangle___________________Answer___180How many degrees in a square____________________Answer___360How many degrees in a hexagon__________________Answer___720How many degrees in a octagon__________________Answer___1080How many degrees in a circle____________________Answer___InfinityThis test sets up a mathematical progression for young minds to solve. The answer to the last question is not 360. It is in fact infinity.If a teacher wants an answer of 360 then the question should be a separate question such as "how many degrees is a circle divided into?
Angles around the circle O add up to 360 degrees Angles in Y are 2 of them are obtuse angles and 1 is an acute angle and the 3 of them add up to 360 degrees Angle in J could be a right angle

Yes
a circle is made up of angular measure, commonly called degrees. Also may be radians or grads. But 360 degrees constitutes a full circle
There are 360 degrees around the world, which make up a full circle.
A 1/4 of a circle is 90 degrees 1/8 of a circle is 45 degrees and they both add up to 135 degrees
There are 360 degrees in a circle.

All angles are based on a scale of 360 degrees read around the edge of a circle.
360 degrees make a full circle or a complete turn around. For example if you spun 360 degress you would end up in the same spot you started.
Because angles around any point add up to 360 degrees and the point is the circle's centre.
