a)Determine the measure if an angle that is complimemtrary to beta
b)Convert beta from degree,minutes,seconds into a decimal notation.
c)Convert the answer in part b to radian measure.
***
complement to beta=90-beta
90º =89º 59' 60"
beta=56º 43' 53"
complement: 33º 16' 7"
..
decimal equivalent:
(43*60)+53)=2633"
decimal portion=2633/3600=0.731389
beta=56.731389º
..
beta=56.731389π/180=0.979678 radians
