that depends on distance from the apex of the angle.
Cosine of an angle = length of the opposite over the adjacent.
So.. given the length of the line from the apex, to the place you are measuring, and taking the measurement at 90 deg to the first line... the measure will be:
Length * cosine(angle)

You mean concerning a circle and angular degrees?
Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, one degree would be 1/360 th of a circle. If you knew the circumference of a circle(the distance all the way around the arc of a circle), just divide the circumference by 360 to get the length of arc subtended by one degree.
More generally, if you have a central angle, A, measured in degrees, and circumference, C, the length of arc subtended by A would be:
(A/360)xC

Do you really want to compare inches with degrees
i will ever tell you how to convert it
degree is for angel
inche is for length
shall i tell you how to convert it ????????????????????????
