Examples¶
Does arc length have to be in radians?¶
Arc length is a measurement of distance, so it cannot be in radians. The central angle, however, does not have to be in radians. It can be in any unit for angles you like, from degrees to arcsecs.
What is the midpoint of 0 and 5?¶
2.5. To find the midpoint of any range, add the two numbers together and divide by 2. In this instance, 0 + 5 = 5, 5 / 2 = 2.5.
How do you calculate basis points for commission?¶
Divide the sale value by 100 to find 100 basis points. We sold our stock option for $150000, so 100 bps is $150.
Divide this new number by 100 again to get 1 basis point. For our sale, 1 bps is $1.5.
Multiply the value for 1 basis point by how many basis points you earn from commission. We earn a 30 bps commission, so we earned $45 on our sale.
How do I add a percentage increase to a number?¶
If you want to increase a number by a certain percentage, follow these steps:
1. Divide the number you wish to increase by 100 to find 1% of it. 1. Multiply 1% by your chosen percentage. 1. Add this number to your original number. 1. There you go, you have just added a percentage increase to a number!
How do you find arc length without the radius?¶
To calculate arc length without radius, you need the central angle and the sector area:
1. Multiply the area by 2 and divide the result by the central angle in radians. 1. Find the square root of this division. 1. Multiply this root by the central angle again to get the arc length. 1. The units will be the square root of the sector area units.
Or the central angle and the chord length:
1. Divide the central angle in radians by 2 and perform the sine function on it. 1. Divide the chord length by double the result of step 1. This calculation gives you the radius. 1. Multiply the radius by the central angle to get the arc length.
How do you check your body fat?¶
Skinfold calipers;
Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA);
Hydrostatic weighing;
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA); and
Body circumference measurements.
