find the number of degrees in the central angle of each sector of the circle
a)1/2
b)1/3
c)1/6
There are 360° in a circle, both the circle itself and the central angles. A central angles has the same number of degrees as the arc that it intercepts.
In 1/2 of a circle there are (1/2) x 360° = 180°.
In 1/3 of a circle there are (1/3) x 360° = 120°.
In 1/6 of a circle there are (1/6) x 360° = 60°.
