Angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle

Given the angle subtended by an arc at the circle circumference X, the task is to find the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle.
For eg in the below given image, you are given angle X and you have to find angle Y. 
 



Examples: 
 

Input: X = 30 
Output: 60
Input: X = 90 
Output: 180 
 



 

Approach: 
 

D = t + u (i)
s + s + A = 180 (angles in triangle)
ie, A = 180 - 2s  (ii)
(t + s) + (s + u) + (u + t) = 180 (angles in triangle again)
so 2s + 2t + 2u = 180
ie 2t + 2u = 180 - 2s (iii)
A = 2t + 2u = 2D from (i), (ii)  and (iii)

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ implementation of the approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find Angle
// subtended by an arc
// at the centre of a circle
int angle(int n)
{
    return 2 * n;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 30;
    cout << angle(n);
 
    return 0;
}




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function to find Angle subtended
// by an arc at the centre of a circle
static int angle(int n)
{
    return 2 * n;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
    int n = 30;
    System.out.println(angle(n));
}
}

# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to find Angle
# subtended by an arc
# at the centre of a circle
def angle(n):
    return 2 * n
 
# Driver code
n = 30
print(angle(n))

// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function to find Angle subtended
// by an arc at the centre of a circle
static int angle(int n)
{
    return 2 * n;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
    int n = 30;
    Console.Write(angle(n));
}
}

<script>
// JavaScript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to find Angle
// subtended by an arc
// at the centre of a circle
function angle(n)
{
    return 2 * n;
}
 
// Driver code
 
    let n = 30;
    document.write(angle(n));

Output: 
60
