Answer 1

Answer: -600 arcminutes

Explanation:

We know that 1 degree = 60 arc minutes

The given measure of angle =
`-10^(\circ)`

Then , by applying the famous UNITARY METHOD , we multiply 60 to the above measure so that it converts into arc minutes.

Thus ,
`-10^(\circ)=-10*60\text{ arcminutes}`

`-600\text{ arcminutes}`

Hence,
`-10^(\circ)` is -600 arcminutes.
