"angles are added using normal two's complement mathematics, the rotation of the angles is correct, even when crossing the sign boundary (this of course does away with checks for angle ≥ 360° when handling normal degrees). The terms binary angular measurement (BAM) and binary angular measurement system (BAMS) as well as brads (binary radians or binary degree) refer to implementations of binary angles. They find use in robotics, navigation, computer games, and digital sensors.

"this system. In most mathematical work beyond practical geometry, angles are typically measured in radians rather than degrees. This is for a variety of reasons; for example, the trigonometric functions have simpler and more ""natural"" properties when their arguments are expressed in radians. These considerations outweigh the convenient divisibility of the number 360. One complete turn (360°) is equal to 2"""" radians, so 180° is equal to radians, or equivalently, the degree is a mathematical constant: 1° = . The turn (or revolution, full circle, full rotation, cycle) is used in technology and science. One turn is equal to 360°."
"Degree (angle) A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees. It is not an SI unit, as the SI unit of angular measure is the radian, but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. Because a full rotation equals 2 radians, one degree is equivalent to radians. The original motivation for choosing the degree as a unit of rotations and angles is unknown. One theory states that it is"
"geometry is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is greater than 180 degrees. In the spherical model, for example, a triangle can be constructed with vertices at the locations where the three positive Cartesian coordinate axes intersect the sphere, and all three of its internal angles are 90 degrees, summing to 270 degrees. For sufficiently small triangles, the excess over 180 degrees can be made arbitrarily small. The Pythagorean theorem fails in elliptic geometry. In the 90°–90°–90° triangle described above, all three sides have the same length, and consequently do not satisfy formula_1. The Pythagorean result"

The only ones of these giving an angle strictly between 0° and 180° are the cosine value 1/2 with the angle 60°, the cosine value –1/2 with the angle 120°, and the cosine value 0 with the angle 90°. The only combination of three of these, allowing multiple use of any of them and summing to 180°, is three 60° angles. Conditions are known in terms of elliptic curves for an integer triangle to have an integer ratio ""N"" of the circumradius to the inradius. The smallest case, that of the equilateral triangle, has"

The radian is the derived quantity of angular measurement in the SI system. By definition, it is dimensionless, though it may be specified as ""rad"" to avoid ambiguity. Angles measured in degrees, are shown with the symbol °. Subdivisions of the degree are minute (symbol ', 1' = 1/60°) and second {symbol "", 1"" = 1/3600°}. An angle of 360° corresponds to the angle"

Degrees are most common in geography, astronomy, and engineering, whereas radians are commonly used in mathematics and theoretical physics. The unit for radial distance is usually determined by the context. When the system is used for physical three-space, it is customary to use positive sign for azimuth angles that are measured in the counter-clockwise sense from the reference direction on the reference plane, as seen from the zenith side of the plane.

By convention, viewed from above, bearing angle are positive clockwise, so a bearing of 45° corresponds to a north-east orientation. Negative bearings are not used in navigation, so a north-west orientation corresponds to a bearing of 315°. There are several alternatives to measuring the size of an angle by the corresponding angle of rotation. The ""grade of a slope"", or ""gradient"" is equal to the tangent of the angle, or sometimes (rarely) the sine. Gradients are often expressed as a percentage. For very small values (less"

In Dehn's geometries the Archimedean axiom does not hold.

The gradian is defined as formula_4 of the right angle (in other words, there are 100 gradians in the right angle), which implies a full turn being 400 gradians. It is also known as gon (from Greek /""gōnía"" for angle), grad, or grade. In continental Europe, the French term ""centigrade"" was in use for one hundredth of a grad. This was one reason for the adoption of the term Celsius to replace centigrade as"

A mil measuring of a revolution originated in the imperial Russian army, where an equilateral chord was divided into tenths to give a circle of 600 units.

"common angles of 30° and 60° in geometry must be expressed in fractions ( grad and grad, respectively). Similarly, in one hour ( day), Earth rotates by 15° or gon. These observations are a consequence of the fact that the number 360 has more divisors than the number 400 does. There are eleven factors of 360 less than or equal to its square root: formula_5. However, there are only seven for 400: formula_6 In the 18th century, the metre was defined as the forty-millionth part of a meridian. Thus, one grad of arc along the Earth's surface corresponded to 100"

"Vertex angle In geometry, a vertex angle is an angle associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. Often a vertex angle of a polygon is referred to simply as an angle of the polygon. In higher-dimensional polyhedra and polytopes, a vertex angle is an angle formed by two edges of the polyhedron that both belong to a common two-dimensional face of the polyhedron. That is, it is a vertex angle of one of the polygons that form the polyhedron. A vertex angle in a polygon is often measured on the interior side of the vertex. For any simple ""n""-gon,"

""Angle"" is also used to designate the measure of an angle or of a rotation. This measure is the ratio of the length of a circular arc to its radius. In the case of a geometric angle, the arc is centered at the vertex and delimited by the sides. In the case of a rotation, the arc is centered at the center of the rotation and delimited by any other point and its image by"

It is important to note that different astrologers and separate astrological systems/traditional utilize differing ""orbs"" (the degree of separation between exactitude) when calculating and using the aspects, though almost all use a larger orb for a conjunction when compared to the other aspects.

A turn is also referred to as a cycle (abbreviated cyc), revolution (abbreviated rev), complete rotation (abbreviated rot) or full circle. Subdivisions of a turn include half turns, quarter turns, centiturns, milliturns, points, etc. A turn can be divided in 100 centiturns or milliturns, with each milliturn corresponding to an angle of 0.36°, which can also be written as 21′ 36″. A protractor divided in centiturns is normally called a percentage protractor. Binary fractions of a turn are also used."
