Which is smaller: an angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle or an angle showing a turn through 1/3 of a circle? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A complete circle represent 360°

so

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is

[tex](360\°)*(\frac{1}{8})=45\°[/tex]

An angle showing a turn through 1/3 of a circle is

[tex](360\°)*(\frac{1}{3})=120\°[/tex]

therefore

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller

Answer:

1/8 is smaller because it equals 45 degrees

1/3 is bigger because it equals 120 degees
