Question

Express -30.6947Degree angles ,minutes and seconds

Answer 1

1 degree is 60 minutes so 30.6947(60)=1841.682 and 1 degree is 3 600 seconds so 30.6947(3600)=110500.92

Answer 2

Concept:

This question requires us to have knowledge on how to convert degrees in minutes and seconds

60min=1°

3600sec=1°

1min=60sec

Given:

The angle in degrees is given as -30.6947°

To find:

We need to convert the given angle in degrees in minutes and seconds.

Solution:

Now the number before the decimal will be degree which is 30 and the for the number after decimal we will convert it to minute

0.6947°=60×0.6947=41.482'

Now from this we have 41min and we will convert 0.482 min to second.

0.482'=60×0.482=28.92''

Therefore, the answer in degree, minutes and seconds are -30°41'28''.
