It's a method of measuring angles other than the more mainstream, simpler format.
First you write the degree with the degree symbol, then you write the amount of minutes, which are 1/60 of a degree, and finally you write the seconds, which are 1/60 of minutes and therefore 1/3600 of a degree. It can be tricky to convert, but you should be able to do it back and forth with a graphing calculator.
Yes
Angles are measured by degrees. Fractions of degrees are measured in minutes and seconds.
There are 360 degrees in a full circle. 60 minutes in 1 degree 60 seconds in 1 minute Therefore: 360 x 60 x 60 = 1,296,000 seconds
An Angle and its complement add to 90o, so the complement of 25o19'12'' is: 90o - 25o19'12" = 64o40'48" as there are 60 seconds to every minute and 60 minutes to every degree.
It is 360/67 = 5 degrees 22 minutes and 23.28 seconds
Degrees: ° Minutes: ' Seconds: "
Divide that by 60 to get degrees. If you want degrees and minutes, do an integer division by 60; the remainder will be the minutes. Seconds will of course be zero in this case.
It designates a point on earth that is 38 degrees 53 minutes 23 seconds north of the equator and 77 degrees 00 minutes 27 seconds west of the Greenwich Meridian
what is the longitude and latitude of Washington DC in degrees, minutes, and seconds
0 minutes and 43.2 seconds
d degrees + m minutes + s seconds = d + m/60 + s/3600 degrees in decimal form.
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.
Latitude, which is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
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)
Degrees , Minutes, Seconds
1 degree = 60 minutes 30 degrees = 30 deg * 60 minutes/deg = 1800 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds 1800 minutes = 1800 minutes * 60 sec/min = 108000 seconds
Degrees, minutes and seconds.
