Answer
Makes sense.
Work Step by Step
Yes, this makes sense.
A binomial has two distinct terms, with different variable parts
(otherwise they would be like terms and we could combine them into a monomial).
One of them could be a constant (degree 0),
but the other must contain some variable, or a power of a variable, making its degree greater than zero.
The degree of any polynomial is the highest degree of its terms,
so the degree of the binomial must be greater than 0.
