Answer:

The given statement is True.

Sumerians developed a math system based on the number 60. This system was called Sexagesimal. They believed that number ten to be the earthly or mundane figure and when combined with the celestial number 6 to obtain the base figure 60.

360 degree forming a full circle, an hour which has sixty minutes, a dozen which consists of 12 which is the part of sixty, is seen and used even today.

Sumerians and Babylonians made many accomplishments in the fields of mathematics and science.
