What degree is 8 percent?

Answer 1

To determine what degree is 8 percent of a whole circle (360 degrees), you would multiply 360 by 8 percent (0.08). This calculation gives you 28.8 degrees. Therefore, 8 percent of a circle is equivalent to 28.8 degrees.

Answer 2

Approximately 4.57 degrees

If you mean what degree angle yields an 8% grade, then you would solve the problem as follows:

Construct a right triangle with one leg equal to 8 (the leg opposite the angle whose measurement you are trying to find) and the other leg equal to 100. The grade of the incline is then 8/100=8%. If the measure of the angle is theta, then tan(theta)=8/100, and theta=arctan(8/100), or approximately 4.57 degrees
