CM to Degrees Calculator

Formula

To calculate the angle in degrees from distance and diameter:

$\theta = \left( \frac{d}{\pi D} \right) \times 360$

Where:

$\theta$ is the angle in degrees
$d$ is the distance in centimeters
$D$ is the diameter of the circle in centimeters
$\pi$ is approximately equal to 3.14159

What is CM to Degrees?

While centimeters (cm) and degrees are different types of measurements, in circular contexts, you can use the distance traveled along the circumference of a circle to find the angle in degrees. This calculation helps convert linear measurements into angular measurements for applications involving circular motion or geometry.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Distance (d) = 10 cm
Diameter of Circle (D) = 20 cm

Use the formula:

$\theta = \left( \frac{10}{\pi \times 20} \right) \times 360 \approx 28.65$

The angle is approximately 28.65 degrees.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Distance (d) = 25 cm
Diameter of Circle (D) = 10 cm

Use the formula:

$\theta = \left( \frac{25}{\pi \times 10} \right) \times 360 \approx 286.48$

The angle is approximately 286.48 degrees.
