How do you add degrees, minutes and seconds Start with this: 130° 43' 51" 45° 39' 20" ------------ Add each column: 130° 43' 51" 45° 39' 20" ------------ 175° 82' 71" Since 82' is more than 60', we subtract 60' from 82', getting 22' and add 1 to the number of degrees, getting 176° 130° 43' 51" 45° 39' 20" ------------ 175° 82' 71" 176° 22' 71" Since 71" is more than 60", we subtract 60" from 71", getting 11" and add 1 to the number of minutes, getting 13' 130° 43' 51" 45° 39' 20" ------------ 175° 82' 71" 176° 22' 71" 176° 23' 11" That's the final answer.
