One degree equals to:
Answer: B
One degree equals 60 minutes.
Angles are divided sexagesimally: 1 degree = 60 minutes (60') and 1 minute = 60 seconds (60"), so 1 degree = 3,600 seconds.
60 seconds is one minute of arc, not one degree. The options with 100 seconds and 100 minutes come from a decimal system; the centesimal grade (gon) divides a right angle into 100 parts, but it is not how a degree is subdivided.
