The surface of the compound of five cubes consists of 360 triangles.

360 (three hundred [and] sixty) is the natural number following 359 and preceding 361.

In mathematics

  • 360 is divisible by the number of its divisors (24), and it is the smallest number divisible by every natural number from 1 to 10, except 7. Furthermore, one of the divisors of 360 is 72, which is the number of primes below it.
  • 360 is a triangular matchstick number.[4]

A turn is divided into 360 degrees for angular measurement. 360° = 2π 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. For a simple non-intersecting polygon, the sum of the internal angles of a quadrilateral always equals 360 degrees.
