You can calculate it but I find it much easier to just look at a reference chart.
For example, I just calculated an angled cut to make on my table saw using the Pythagorean theorem. One of the cuts needs to be 3.19 inches. My tape measure is accurate to a 32nd of an inch so I look up 0.19 in the column below.
I see that 6/32 matches, which equals 3/16. So I need to cut a piece 3 & 3/16 inches long.
My next cut wasn't so lucky. I needed 2.08 inches and the closest I can get using my tape measure is 3/32. It's a tad long but it'll work for what I'm doing.
If you need more precise measurements then you should use something more accurate than a tape measure.

To convert decimals into inches on a tape measure, remember that 1 inch is equivalent to 1 whole unit. For example, 0.5 inches is equal to 1/2 inch, 0.25 inches is equal to 1/4 inch, and 0.75 inches is equal to 3/4 inch. Simply count the number of units indicated by the decimal to determine the measurement in inches on the tape measure.
Well I just checked and i made it up to 180 which is all -most the entire way but my living room just isn't big enough lol. If i find out i will be sure to let you know though.
