Question

what is the meaning of sexagesimal system​

Answer 1

Sexagesimal (base 60) is a numeral system with sixty as its base. It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates.

Answer 2

This is the system wherein the right angle is divided equally, into 90 parts called ''degrees'', represented as 1°

Each degree is further divided into minutes which are 60 equal parts denoted by (') one minute is 1' and each minute is further divided into 60 more equal parts known as seconds and one second is denoted as ''1''.

This is a right angle = 90 degree

        1° = 60 minute = 60'

60 seconds = 60°
