Question

There are 360 degrees in a circle. How many arcminutes will be in 50% of a circle?

Answer 1

10,800 arcminutes

Step-by-step explanation

Knowing that,

`1degree=60arcminutes`

And that if a circle has 360 degrees, then half the circle has,

`(360)/(2)=180degrees`

We can find how many arcminutes there are in half a circle,

`180degrees\cdot(60arcminutes)/(1degree)=10,800arcminutes`

Hence, there are 10,800 arcminutes in 50% of a circle.
