    If the ratio is 3:4:5 it's good to know what the ratio of one of those three to the total is.

    3+4+5 = 12.

    So the "3" in 3:4:5 is actually 3/12th of a circle (that's 1/4th, a quarter!).

    What about the largest part?

    The "5" in 3:4:5 is actually 5/12th of a circle!

    We know a circle has a total of 360 degrees.

    We need 5/12th of that.

    So we mulitply: 360 * 5/12 = 150 degrees.
