One turn (corresponding to a cycle or revolution) is equal to 360°. With the invention of the metric system, based on powers of ten, there was an attempt to replace degrees by decimal "degrees" in France and nearby countries, [note 3] where the number in a right angle is equal to 100 gon with 400 gon in a full circle (1° = 10 ⁄ 9 gon).
It is denoted by a double prime ( ″ ). For example, 3° 7′ 30″ is equal to 3 + 7 / 60 + 30 / 3600 degrees, or 3.125 degrees. The arcsecond is the angle used to measure a parsec: grad: 400: 0°54′ The grad, also called grade, gradian, or gon. It is a decimal subunit of the quadrant. A right angle is 100 grads.
A turn is divided into 360 degrees for angular measurement. 360° = 2 π rad is also called a round angle. This unit choice divides round angles into equal sectors measured in integer rather than fractional degrees. Many angles commonly appearing in planimetrics have an integer number of degrees.
Degrees of freedom (mechanics), the number of displacements or rotations needed to define the position and orientation of a body; Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry), a concept describing dependence on a countable set of parameters; Degree of frost, a unit of temperature measurement; Degrees Lintner, a measure of enzymatic activity

Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson said this week he's "on track" to return in time for a potential Super Bowl after breaking his leg in October.
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
