Exploring the Concept of 1 Degree and Its Role in Measuring Angles

This video tutorial explains the concept of measuring angles using degrees. It begins by introducing the idea of a degree and how it is used to measure angles. The tutorial then explores how a circle is divided into 360 degrees and uses fractional pieces to demonstrate different angle measurements, such as 90 degrees for a quarter turn and 180 degrees for a half turn. The video further breaks down these fractions to explain what a 1-degree angle looks like, emphasizing that it represents 1/360 of a circle. By the end, viewers understand how to measure angles using degrees and the significance of fractional angle pieces.
