Quick question:
If an "anglet" is defined as 1 percent of 1 degree, how many anglets are in a circle?
a) 0.36
b) 3.6
c) 360
d) 3600
e) 36000
How I tried to solve it:
1 percent of 1 degree is .01
So I just took .01 and multiplied it to 360 to get 3.6, however this answer is wrong.
Book answer: If an "anglet" is one percent of a degree, then there are 100 anglets in each degree. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, there are 100x360 or 36,000 anglets in a circle.
Question: I'm not following the book answer here. Where did they get the assumption that a "full" degree = 100?
Thanks
