Question

What is degree of a curve? derive a relation between the radius and degree of a curve?

Answer 1

Thus the radians and degree relation is given as Degree = Radians x 180 / π

Explanation:

Degree of a curve:

Degree of a curve is defined as the angle made by a chord of 100 feet. It is obtained by multiplying the radius of a circle by pi (π).

The relationship between radius and degree of curve is given as:

• Radian = 2π
• Circumference = 2πr
• Degree = 360° ( Which is a full circle angle)

Relationship between radians and degree:

Degree = Radians x 180 / π

Thus the radians and degree are in relation as Degree = Radians x 180 / π
