ok.
I have a brilliant idea!?
- Convert 43.1025° to DMS form.
Well, let's see what someone in this thread has already said on this very point:Why Early people or mathematician start choosing 360degree in rotation of one circle?
what is it root of 360*
Why ask a question that you, yourself, have already provided an answer for?Aside: Why is one revolution divided into 360 parts called "degrees"? Because the ancient Babylonians, now four- or five-thousand years dead, viewed the numbers 6, 12, and 60 as having particular religious significance. It is because of them that we have twelve-hour nights and twelve-hour days, with each hour divided into sixty minutes and each minute divided into sixty seconds. And "once around" is divided into 6×60 = 360 parts called "degrees".
