Right Angle
A right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees, representing a quarter turn.
History/Origin
The concept of the right angle has been used since ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who formalized its measurement and significance in geometry and architecture.
Current Use
Right angles are fundamental in geometry, construction, engineering, and design, serving as a standard for perpendicularity and right-angled structures.
Degree
A degree (symbol: °) is a unit of measurement for angles, representing 1/360th of a full circle.
History/Origin
The degree originated in ancient Babylonian astronomy, where the circle was divided into 360 parts, possibly due to the approximate number of days in a year. It has been used since antiquity for measuring angles and geographic coordinates.
Current Use
Degrees are widely used in geometry, navigation, engineering, and various sciences to measure angles, with applications in compass readings, trigonometry, and geographic positioning.
