Circles -- transform degrees in minute

In summary, the conversation discusses the conversion from degrees to radians using the method of successive division. The process involves converting 180 degrees to ##\pi## radians, and then constructing a ratio to solve for the conversion of 10800 minutes to ##\pi## radians. The final step is to simplify the ratio to get the conversion of 30 degrees to ##\pi## radians.

A minha pergunta é na divisão 10800/1110
My question is in the division 10800/1110 ?

They started with the notion that 180 degrees = ##\pi## radians

and then the equivalent notion that 10800 minutes = ##\pi## radians

and then they construct a ratio 180 deg / (18 deg 30 min) = (10800 min) / (1100 min) = 360 / 37 = ##\pi## / x radians

and then solve for x.

My question is to simplify,
how do I simplify? Method of successive division!

Simplify what?
I don't see anywhere in your thread what it is you're trying to do.
Is the problem to convert 18° 30' into minutes? Or is it to convert this angle measure to radians?

I do not see anywhere in its segment that is that you are trying to do.
Is the problem to convert 18 ° 30 'in minutes? Or is it to convert the measure of the angle in radians?
I'm trying to understand the simplification,
should be 30 to 10800 and 30 to 1110 ,lol
Thank you for letting me know

You didn't answer my question. What are you trying to convert?

Is your question how they went from ##\frac{10800}{1110}## to ##\frac{360}{37}##? If so, 1080 = 30 * 360, and 1110 = 30 * 37.

Perfect is 30

Related to Circles -- transform degrees in minute

1. What is the formula for converting degrees to minutes in a circle?

The formula for converting degrees to minutes in a circle is: degrees x 60 = minutes.

2. How many minutes are in a full circle?

There are 360 degrees in a full circle, so there are 21,600 minutes in a full circle.

3. How many degrees are in one minute of a circle?

There are 1/60th of a degree in one minute of a circle. This is equivalent to 0.0166666667 degrees.

4. What is the relationship between degrees and minutes in a circle?

Degrees and minutes are both units of measurement for angles in a circle. One degree is equal to 60 minutes, and one minute is equal to 1/60th of a degree.

5. How can I convert degrees to minutes in a circle using a calculator?

To convert degrees to minutes in a circle using a calculator, simply multiply the number of degrees by 60. For example, if you have 45 degrees, the calculation would be 45 x 60 = 2700 minutes.
