Matt cut a circle into 8 equal sections. He drew an angle that measures the same as the total measure of 3 of the sections in the circle. What is the measure of the angle Matt drew?
135'
135’
135°
To find the measure of the angle Matt drew, we need to determine the measure of each section in the circle.
Since the circle is cut into 8 equal sections, we can divide the total measure of the circle (360 degrees) by the number of sections (8) to get the measure of each section.
360 degrees ÷ 8 sections = 45 degrees per section
Now that we know each section measures 45 degrees, we can find the measure of the angle Matt drew by multiplying the number of sections (3) by the measure of each section (45 degrees).
3 sections × 45 degrees per section = 135 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the angle Matt drew is 135 degrees.
