math - Calculating the degree of a circle -
say have arc maximum degrees of 60, 0 degrees 60 degrees, , maximum value, 16. want find out degrees of value in relation maximum value. hope made sense, it's quite hard explain. example, have maximum degrees of 80 , maximum value of 40. degrees of value trying find 35, degrees should 70 since 40:80 2, , 35*2 70. part puzzled finding degrees of irrational ratio such 35:78.
so seems mistakenly used multiplication instead of division. equation describing ratio of value max value:
value / maxvalue = degrees / maxdegrees
by rearranging, get
degrees = maxdegrees * value / maxvalue
