Right Angle
A right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees, representing a quarter turn.
History/Origin
The concept of the right angle has been used since ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who formalized its measurement and significance in geometry and architecture.
Current Use
Right angles are fundamental in geometry, construction, engineering, and design, serving as a standard for perpendicularity and right-angled structures.
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.
