One of the neat things about degrees and plane geometry is how regular polygons you can have without partial degrees.

The number of sides depends on the divisiblity of 360 by the number of angles so:

3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30, and so forth.

For angle measurement where you want a closed geometry figure at the end, degrees are extremely elegant, and 360 is 2^3x3^2x5
