Question

A degree is larger than 30 arc minutes. ...?

true or false

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Given : Statement - 'A degree is larger than 30 arc minutes'.

To find : True or False ?

Solution :

We know that,

1 degree is
`1^\circ=(1)/(360)` of a circle

1 arc minute is
`1^'=((1)/(60))^\circ` of degree.

So, 30 arc minutes is
`30^'=((30)/(60))^\circ` of degree.

30 arc minutes is
`30^'=((1)/(2))^\circ` of degree.

Which clearly means,

`1^\circ>((1)/(2))^\circ`

`1^\circ>30^'`

Therefore, The given statement is true.

'A degree is larger than 30 arc minutes'.

Answer 2

It is a completely true statement that a degree is larger than 30 arc minutes. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. 30 arc minutes is almost equal to 1/2 degree. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your great help.
