Definition of Degree (Angles)
Degrees are one possible way of measuring angles.
We use the symbol \({}^\circ\) for degrees.
There are \(360^\circ\) in a full rotation.
A straight angle has \(180^\circ\), and a right angle is \(90^\circ\).
We can use a protractor like the one in the picture to measure angles in degrees.
