Question

What is one sixth of a right angle

Answer 1

15 degrees is 1/6 of a right angle because a right angle is 90 degrees and 90/6 = 15

Answer 2

the magnitude of a right angle is 90°.
we are asked to find a fraction of 90°.
one sixth as a fraction is 1/6.
therefore to find 1/6th of a right angle we can calculate as follows
1/6 of 90
when we have the 'of' function it means to multiply

`(1)/(6) * 90`
numerators are multiplied by numerators and denominators multiplied by denominators

`(90)/(6) = 15`
angle is 15°
therefore 1/6th of right angle is 15°
