How many degrees in a full rotation?

We call a full circle or a full rotation 360 degrees. There's nothing magic
or mathematical about that number. It was invented by people. It could
have been any number they wanted.

But it was a great choice because it has a lot of factors. With 360 degrees
in a full rotation, you can split up a full rotation into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12,
15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, or 180 equal pieces, without
ever slicing up a degree !

Think of a full rotation as 4 right angles. By that logic a full rotation would be 90x4. That is equal to 360. So, a full rotation is 360 degrees.

5. What is the equation of the tangent line to the circle x^2+y^2=1 through the point (6,0)?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

There is no tangent line of the given circle at (6, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of the circle,

$x^2 + y^2 = 1$

∵ equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2$ ,

Where, (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius,

By comparing,

Center of the given circle = (0, 0),

Radius of the circle = 1 unit

Now, check whether point (6, 0) lie on the circle,

if x = 6, $6^2 + y^2 = 1$

$36 + y^2 = 1$

$y^2 = 1- 36$

$y= i\sqrt{35}\neq 0$

i.e., (6, 0) does not lie on the circle,

Hence, there is no tangent line of the given circle at (6, 0).
