Why are there 360 degrees in a circle?

ANS: It has to do with the Babylonians, who used a base 60 number system. Therefore the equilateral triangle has 60 degrees at each angle, then the hexagon (6 equilaterals triangles), therefore the circle has 360 degrees.It is interesting to note that 60 can be devided by 1,2,3,4,5,6.
