It helps to draw the angle on
a unit circle, approximately
------------------------
1)
145 degrees is 35 degrees short
of 180 degrees
( +145+=+180+-+35+ )
and
I can use +pi+%2F+180++=+1+ radian / degrees
as a multiplier without changing values
+%28+pi%2F180+%29%2A180+-+%28+pi%2Fi80+%29%2A35+
+pi+-+%28+35%2F180+%29%2Api+
+pi+-+.1944%2Api+
+.8055%2Api+
--------------------
2)
Note that 1' is +%281%2F60%29%2A1+ degree
+%28+14%2F60+%29%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+ = ( fraction of a degree )x( radians/degree )
+%28+7%2F30+%29%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+
++%28+7%2F5400+%29%2Api+=+.001296%2Api+
and
+%28+10+%29%2A%28pi%2F180+%29+=+.0555%2Api+
+.0555%2Api+%2B+.001296%2Api+
+.05685%2Api+
-----------------------------------
3)
4" is +4%2F360+ of a degree ( +4%2A%281%2F60%29%2A%281%2F60%29+
+%28+4%2F360+%29%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B+%28+1%2F90+%29%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+
+%28+1%2F16200+%29%2Api+
+.000061728%2Api+
and
+%28+13%2F60+%29%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+
+%28+13%2F10800+%29%2Api+
+.0012037%2Api+
and
+56%2A%28+pi%2F180+%29+
+.31111%2Api+
adding up:
+%28+.000061728+%2B+.0012037+%2B+.31111+%29%2Api+
+.3124%2Api+ ( more decimal points available )

you can convert these degrees into radians by multiplying by pi and dividing by 180

degrees * pi / 180 = radians

radians * 180 / pi = degrees

you can convert degrees and minutes into degrees by dividing the minutes by 60 and adding them to the degrees.

you can convert degrees and minutes and seconds into degrees by dividing the minutes by 60 and adding them to the degrees and then dividing the seconds by 3600 and adding them to the degrees.

problem 1:

145 degrees * pi / 180 = .8055555... * pi radians.

problem 2:

10 degrees 14 minutes = 10 degrees + 14/60 degrees = 10.233333.... degrees * pi / 180 = .05685185... * pi radians.

problem 3:

56 degrees 13 minutes 4 seconds = 56 degrees + 13/60 degrees + 4/3600 degrees = 56.2233333.... degrees * pi / 180 = .31235185... * pi radians
