A circle is divided into 18 equal parts.How many degrees is the angle measure for each part how many degrees is the angle measure for 5 of those parts? Break apart 18 to solve explain
To find the angle measure of each part in a circle divided into 18 equal parts, we need to divide 360 degrees (the total number of degrees in a circle) by 18, the number of parts in the circle.
So, the angle measure for each part is 360/18 = 20 degrees.
To find the angle measure for 5 of those parts, we simply multiply the angle measure for each part by 5:
5 x 20 degrees = 100 degrees.
To break apart 18 to solve, we can factor it as 2 x 9 or 3 x 6. Then we can divide 360 degrees by either 2, 3, 6, or 9 to get the angle measure for each part. For example, dividing 360 by 6 gives us 60 degrees, but we need to further divide each of those parts into thirds to get 18 equal parts. Therefore, 60 degrees divided by 3 gives us 20 degrees for each part.
