The Angle Ratio Calculator computes the ratio of two angles, offering a straightforward comparison that can be vital for understanding their relationships in various applications. It can be used to determine how one angle compares to another in terms of size, which is particularly useful in architectural design, machine part design, and educational settings to help visualize and apply concepts of angle proportionality.
Formula of Angle Ratio Calculator
The calculator employs simple yet effective formulas to calculate angle ratios in both degrees and radians:
- Angle Ratio (theta_ratio):
- Formula: theta_ratio = theta1 / theta2
- Where:
- theta1 is the first angle
- theta2 is the second angle
- Angle Ratio in Degrees:
- Formula: theta_ratio_degrees = theta1_degrees / theta2_degrees
- Where:
- theta1_degrees is the first angle in degrees
- theta2_degrees is the second angle in degrees
- Angle Ratio in Radians:
- Formula: theta_ratio_radians = theta1_radians / theta2_radians
- Where:
- theta1_radians is the first angle in radians
- theta2_radians is the second angle in radians
- Conversion from Degrees to Radians:
- Formula: theta_radians = theta_degrees * (pi / 180)
- Where:
- theta_degrees is the angle in degrees
- theta_radians is the angle in radians
- Conversion from Radians to Degrees:
- Formula: theta_degrees = theta_radians * (180 / pi)
- Where:
- theta_radians is the angle in radians
- theta_degrees is the angle in degrees

Example of Angle Ratio Calculator
Consider two angles, one measuring 90 degrees and the other 45 degrees. Using the Angle Ratio Calculator:
- Angle Ratio in Degrees = 90 / 45 = 2
This means the first angle is twice the size of the second angle, a useful comparison for tasks requiring symmetry or precise angular placement.
