Each degree is equal to 60 minutes, each minute is equal to 60 seconds; to convert seconds to minutes, divide the seconds by 60 and add to the minutes.

Ex. (Assume the asterisk (*) is a degree sign)

51* 43' 20"

51* + 43' + (20/60)'

51* + 43' + (1/3)'

Answer: 51* 43 (1/3)'

Hopefully this is answering the question you had. If you want to convert Minutes and seconds into decimal degrees, use either formula below:

((Seconds/60) + Minutes)/60 + Degrees

or

Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)

What is the complement of an angle measuring 33 degrees 31 minutes 12 seconds?

The complement of an angle is found by subtracting the angle from 90 degrees. For an angle measuring 33 degrees, 31 minutes, and 12 seconds, you first convert it to a single unit if needed. The calculation is as follows: 90 degrees minus 33 degrees 31 minutes 12 seconds equals 56 degrees 28 minutes 48 seconds. Therefore, the complement of the angle is 56 degrees 28 minutes 48 seconds.

What is total number of degrees in 840 minuters and 10800 seconds?

To convert minutes to degrees, we note that 1 minute equals 6 degrees (since 360 degrees in a circle divided by 60 minutes gives 6 degrees per minute). Therefore, 840 minutes equals 840 × 6 = 5040 degrees. For the seconds, since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 10800 seconds is equivalent to 180 minutes, which equals 180 × 6 = 1080 degrees. Adding these together, the total number of degrees is 5040 + 1080 = 6120 degrees.

How to convert degree minutes seconds angle to decimal?

Works on the same principle as "60 seconds = 1 minute and 60 minutes = 1 hour (or degree in this case)... So for example: 2 degrees, 45 Minutes and 20 seconds is worked as follows: Now, 20 seconds = 0.33 minutes (i.e. 20/60); add to 45 minutes to get 45.33 minutes.. 45.33 minutes = 45.33/60 degrees = 0.7555 degrees. Therefore, final answer is 2 + 0.7555 = 2.7555 degrees.... Hope this helps!!

what is the longitude and latitude of Washington DC in degrees, minutes, and seconds


Longitude and latitude are measured in?

Degrees, minutes and seconds.


How many seconds are in each minute of latitude?

The latitude and longitude are input in degrees, so you might need to convert to degrees from degrees:minutes:seconds. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 degree. So, for example: 65:45:36 south latitude converts to -(65 degrees + (45 minutes * (1 degree/60 minutes)) + (36 seconds * (1 minute/60 seconds) * (1 degree/60 minutes))) = -65.76 degrees latitude
