Examples
1
Consider that an astronomer adjusts a telescope by 15 minutes of arc to focus on a distant star.
Convert this angle from minutes to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Minutes) / 60
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 15 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 15 / 60
Angle(Degrees) = 0.25
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ' is equal to 0.25 °.
The angle is 0.25 °, in degrees.
2
Consider that a surveyor sets the angle of a theodolite to 10 minutes for precise measurement.
Convert this angle from minutes to Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to degrees is:
Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Minutes) / 60
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 10 in the above formula.
Angle(Degrees) = 10 / 60
Angle(Degrees) = 0.1667
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 ' is equal to 0.1667 °.
The angle is 0.1667 °, in degrees.

Minutes
Minutes of arc are a finer subdivision of degrees, with 60 minutes making up one degree. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. This unit allows for precise angular measurements and is commonly used in fields like astronomy, navigation, and geodesy, where detailed accuracy is required for mapping and celestial observations.
Degrees
Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
