There are 60 arcminutes in one degree. There are 360 degrees in a circle. Therefore, one full rotation is equal to 360 x 60 = 21600 arcminutes.

Just "degree", not "arc degree". A degree has 60 minutes; therefore, to convert from degrees to minutes, you multiply by 60.
Major arc is the longer of two arcs.
The length of an arc on a circle of radius 16, with an arc angle of 60 degrees is about 16.8.The circumference of the circle is 2 pi r, or about 100.5. 60 degrees of a circle is one sixth of the circle, so the arc is one sixth of 100.5, or 16.8.
A circle subtends 360° . Therefore. if the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is greater than 180° then this is the major arc. By comparison, the minor arc will subtend an angle less than 180°
The area of the full circle is (pi) R2 = 64 pi.We call a full circle "360 degrees".The 300-degree sector is (300/360) = 5/6 of the full circle, so its area is(5/6) x (64 pi) = 167.55 square units (rounded)
