Minute
A minute is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree, used to measure angles and geographic coordinates.
History/Origin
The minute originated from the ancient sexagesimal system of the Babylonians, where it was used to divide degrees into smaller parts for more precise measurements. It has been used in astronomy, navigation, and geometry for centuries.
Current Use
Today, the minute is primarily used in astronomy, navigation, and surveying to specify angles with greater precision. It is also used in time measurement, where a minute equals 60 seconds.
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts into which a circle is divided by its diameter, often used to measure angles in degrees from 0° to 90° within each part.
History/Origin
The concept of quadrants originates from ancient geometry and astronomy, where dividing circles into four parts helped in navigation and celestial observations. The term has been used since the 16th century in mathematical and navigational contexts.
Current Use
Today, quadrants are primarily used in mathematics, engineering, and navigation to measure and describe angles, especially in coordinate systems and trigonometry, without a specific unit symbol.
