[QUOTE="apexmtnman, post: 664970, member: 13022"] ^^^^ Can somebody translate that, I can't figure out just what ol backwoods is tryin to say. Here's some learnin for ya there ol backwoods.

The concepts of equality, sums, and differences of angles are important and used throughout geometry, but the subject of trigonometry is based on the [I]measurement[/I] of angles. There are two commonly used units of measurement for angles. The more familiar unit of measurement is that of degrees. A circle is divided into 360 equal degrees, so that a right angle is 90°. For the time being, we'll only consider angles between 0° and 360°, but later, in the section on trigonometric functions, we'll consider angles greater than 360° and negative angles. Degrees may be further divided into minutes and seconds, but that division is not as universal as it used to be. Parts of a degree are now frequently referred to decimally. For instance seven and a half degrees is now usually written 7.5°. Each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called [I]minutes.[/I] So seven and a half degrees can be called 7 degrees and 30 minutes, written 7° 30'. Each minute is further divided into 60 equal parts called [I]seconds,[/I] and, for instance, 2 degrees 5 minutes 30 seconds is written 2° 5' 30". The division of degrees into minutes and seconds of angle is analogous to the division of hours into minutes and seconds of time. [/QUOTE]
