Answer 1

Answer: -600 arcminutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 degree = 60 arc minutes

The given measure of angle = $-10^{\circ}$

Then , by applying the famous UNITARY METHOD , we multiply 60 to the above measure so that it converts into arc minutes.

Thus ,  $-10^{\circ}=-10\times60\text{ arcminutes}$

$-600\text{ arcminutes}$

Hence, $-10^{\circ}$ is -600 arcminutes.
