Capitolo 2, Problema 76

Convert each angle measure to degrees, minutes, and seconds. If applicable, round to the nearest second. 122.6853°

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given angle in decimal degrees: \(122.6853^\circ\).
Separate the whole number part from the decimal part. The whole number part is the degrees: \(122^\circ\).
Convert the decimal part (0.6853) to minutes by multiplying by 60: \(0.6853 \times 60\).
Separate the whole number part of the minutes from the decimal part. The whole number is the minutes.
Convert the remaining decimal part of the minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60, then round to the nearest second.
