Why are angles measured in degrees minutes and seconds?

Mathematics

 The sexagesimal system is a numbering system that uses the base sixty. It is used to measure times (hours, minutes and seconds) and angles (degrees, minutes and seconds). In this system, 60 units of an order form a unit of higher order. Thus, 60 seconds form 1 minute, and 60 minutes form 1 hour or 1 degree, according to time or angles.
 
 The use of the number sixty as a basis for the measurement of angles, coordinates and time measurements is linked to old astronomy and trigonometry. It was common to measure the elevation angle of a star and trigonometry uses right triangles.

What is an example of a country with this economic system?
Viktor [21]

Answer:In a free market economy, the law of supply and demand, rather than a central government, regulates production and labor. Companies sell goods and services at the highest price consumers are willing to pay, while workers earn the highest wages companies are willing to pay for their services. A purely capitalist economy is a free market economy; the profit motive drives all commerce and forces businesses to operate as efficiently as possible to avoid losing market share to competitors.

A company makes a profit of $50 per software program and $35 per video game. the company can produce at most 200 software progra
Neko [114]
Let x = software program
Let y = video game

x < 200 ; y < 300

x + y < 425

50x ; 35y

x = 200 ; y = 225
50(200) + 35(225) = 10,000 + 7,875 = 17,875

x = 125 ; y = 300
50(125) + 35(300) = 6,250 + 10,500 = 16,750

x = 175 ; y = 250
50(175)  + 35(250) = 8,750 + 8,750 = 17,500

It is more profitable to maximize production of software program when working within the limits provided.
