42 UNITS OF MEASURING ANGLES: ees aE y
There are three different systems of units for measurement of angles in Trigonometry, viz. (i) Sexagesimal
Siem, (11) Centesimal System, (tit) Circular System.
Sexagesimal System, In this system, 1 right angle is divided into 90 equal parts and each part (or division)
‘called a degree (ie. 1° ).1 degree (or 1°) is again divided into 60 parts, each part being called a sexagesimal
ee (ie. 1’), 1 minute (i.e. 1’) is again sub-divided into 60 parts, each part being called a sexagesimal second
