Question

How to convert degrees to minutes and seconds on calculator?

Answer 1

we have 360 degree as a complete circle

and have 60 mins as one complete circle

so 1 min = 360/60 = 6 degree

we have 1 min = 6 degree

so multiply the given minute by 6 will give your its measure in degree

and divide the given degree by 6 will give you its measure in minute

and when you can convert it in minute then multiply it by 60 to convert it into seconds as example

we have been given,

30 degree, let

so 30 degree will be equal to 30/6 = 5 mins

and 5 mins will be equal to 5 * 60 seconds = 300 seconds

so 30 degree = 5 mins = 300 seconds
