Question

If M and m represents the number of sexagesimal and centesimal minute of any angle respectively, prove that M/27=m/50​

Answer 1

So one right angle = 100 x 100 minutesIn Centesimal system, 1 right angle = 100 grades and one grade = 100 minutesSo one right angle = 90 x 60 minutes in Sexagesimal system, 1 right angle = 90 degrees and one degree = 60 minutes

Hence, from these :

Ratio in Sexagesimal : Centesimal = (90 x 60) : (100 x100) = 27 : 50
