Algebra.Com's Answer #489814 by jsmallt9(3758)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ' marks indicate minutes (which are 1/60 of a degree) and the \" indicates seconds (which are 1/60 of a minute or 1/(60*60) or 1/3600 of a degree). \n" ); document.write( "To convert these to some number of degrees: \n" ); document.write( "d degrees m minutes s seconds = (d + m/60 + s/3600) degrees \n" ); document.write( "(Note: Leave any negative signs out of this and apply it after the addition. So for your problem 1 use: \n" ); document.write( "-120 degrees 47 minutes = -(120 + 47/60) degrees \n" ); document.write( "For your problem #2, use the above to convert it to degrees. Then multiply that result by |
