Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Circular to linear please

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert circular measures to linear ones? For example, degrees to linear? The problem is, of course, that 360 = 0.

Thanks very much!

If you mean you have something round and want to know what it would be if it were a straight line just take it times PI PI=3.14

so something 10 foot in diameter would take a rope 31.4 feet long to go around it.

Was that your question?
