To find how much of a circle a 100-degree angle turns through, you can express the angle as a fraction of the full circle.
Step-by-step solution:
-
Total degrees in a circle:
A full circle measures 360 degrees. -
Given angle:
100 degrees. -
Fraction of the circle:
100360=518\frac{100}{360}=\frac{5}{18}360100=185
- Decimal form:
518≈0.2777\frac{5}{18}\approx 0.2777185≈0.2777
Answer:
A 100-degree angle turns through 5/18 (or approximately 27.78%) of a full circle.
