If I understand the question correctly, you are referring to angles whose measures are given in the form: 40â—¦

15' 25"


If myunderstanding is correct, then the one dash (') refers to minutes and two dashes (") refer to seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in a degree so that 1" is 1/3600 of a degree.
