A circle contains 360 degrees. Draw a circle, add a radius to any point on it, and then rotate the radius completely around. After it has returned to the point it initially intersected the curve, the radius will have rotated through 360 degrees.
(another explanation, maybe no better.)
A complete circle measures 360 degrees, so a half-circle is 180 degrees, a quarter-circle is 90 degrees and so forth. Another way to look at it is in terms of the central angle formed by the radii drawn from each endpoint of the arc - the measure of the arc in degrees is the same as the measure of this central angle in degrees.

How many seconds there are in a circle?
The calculation is 60 arc seconds X 60 arc minutes X 360 degrees in a full circle. So, there are 1,296,000 arc seconds in a full circle.
What is the arc in a circle that is 90 degrees?
To find the arc length, you also need to know the radius (or diameter) of the arc. The arc length is then found by finding the circumference of the full circle (2xPIxradius) and then dividing by 4 to find just one quarter of the circle (90 degrees).
If the arc on a particular circle has an arc length of 12 inches and the circumference of the circle is 48 inches what is the angle measure of the arc?
The angle measure is: 90.01 degrees
How do you find arc of an circle when the degrees is given?
It depends on what measure related to the arc you want to find!
The arc length is 19.68 what is the circumference of the circle?
That depends on the center angle coming from that arc. If it is 90 degrees, multiply the arc by 4, etc.
