Question 118669: Hello,
I am a freshman student having problems in goemetry. It would be wonderful if I could have a little extra help on a few problems. I would greatly appreciate it. :) Here is my first problem.
A calculation shows that an angle has a measure of 113.05 degrees.
This angle can be written in the form A B', measured in degrees and minutes.
What is the sum of A and B?

Note: In the second sentence the A has a degree symbol after it.

This is how far I got into the problem. 113 + ?/60 + ?/ 3600

Since the angle is 113.05 degrees, this means A=113 (just take the whole part of the number). Now take the decimal portion 0.05 and multiply it by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in a degree) to get 0.05%2A60=3. So this means that 0.05 degrees is 3 minutes which means B=3


So the sum of A and B is: A%2BB=113%2B3=116
