There are 360 degrees in a circle. How many arcminutes will be in 86% of a circle?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

There are 18572.9 arcminutes in 86% of a circle.

Explanation:

The degrees in 86% of a circle is:

degrees = \frac{86}{100}*360 = 309.6 ^{\circ}

Now, we need to find the number of arcminutes in 309.6°:

arcminute = \frac{59.99 arcminute}{1 degree}*309.6 degrees = 18572.9

Therefore, there are 18572.9 arcminutes in 86% of a circle.

I hope it helps you!
