Question

If the measurements of an angle in degrees, minutes and seconds be D, M and S respectively prove that, S= 60 M =3600D.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a full circle there are 360 degrees.

Each degree is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a degree. These parts are called minutes.

Each minute is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a minute. These parts are called seconds.

One cannot prove this. These are definitions.

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 degree = 60 * (60 seconds)

Therefore

1 degree = 3600 seconds.

Answer 2

If the measurements of an angle in degrees, minutes and seconds be D, M and S respectively prove that, S= 60 M =3600D.
