Degree
A degree (symbol: °) is a unit of measurement for angles, representing 1/360th of a full circle.
History/Origin
The degree originated in ancient Babylonian astronomy, where the circle was divided into 360 parts, possibly due to the approximate number of days in a year. It has been used since antiquity for measuring angles and geographic coordinates.
Current Use
Degrees are widely used in geometry, navigation, engineering, and various sciences to measure angles, with applications in compass readings, trigonometry, and geographic positioning.
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts into which a circle is divided by its diameter, often used to measure angles in degrees from 0° to 90° within each part.
History/Origin
The concept of quadrants originates from ancient geometry and astronomy, where dividing circles into four parts helped in navigation and celestial observations. The term has been used since the 16th century in mathematical and navigational contexts.
Current Use
Today, quadrants are primarily used in mathematics, engineering, and navigation to measure and describe angles, especially in coordinate systems and trigonometry, without a specific unit symbol.
