Find the degree measure of the central angle corresponding to: 1) half of the circle 2) one-sixth of the circle

As we know from the school curriculum, the degree measure of a circle is 360 °.

a)

Let us determine what value the central angle will correspond to if from the condition of our problem we know for sure that it is equal to half a circle:

360: 2 = 180.

Answer: Under these initial conditions, the central angle will be 180 °.

b)

Let us determine what value the central angle will correspond to if from the condition of our problem we know for sure that it is equal to 1/6 of the circle:

360 * 1/6 = 60.

Answer: Under these initial conditions, the central angle will be 60 °.
