Problema 46

Capitolo 2, Problema 46

Perform each calculation. See Example 3. 90° ― 17° 13'

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Understand that the problem requires subtracting two angles: 90° and 17° 13'. The first angle is in degrees only, and the second angle is in degrees and minutes.

Recall that 1 degree (°) equals 60 minutes ('). To perform the subtraction, convert the angles into a consistent format if necessary, or subtract degrees and minutes separately.

Since 90° has 0 minutes, and 17° 13' has 13 minutes, check if you can subtract 13 minutes from 0 minutes directly. If not, borrow 1 degree from 90°, converting it into 60 minutes.

After borrowing, subtract the minutes: (60' - 13') and subtract the degrees: (89° - 17°). Write the result as degrees and minutes.

Combine the results to express the final answer in degrees and minutes format.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Angle Measurement in Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds

Angles can be expressed in degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds ("), where 1 degree equals 60 minutes and 1 minute equals 60 seconds. Understanding this notation is essential for performing accurate calculations involving angles.

Subtraction of Angles in DMS Format

When subtracting angles given in degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS), you must subtract each unit separately, borrowing from higher units if necessary (e.g., borrowing 1 degree as 60 minutes) to handle cases where the minuend's minutes or seconds are smaller than the subtrahend's.

Conversion Between Units for Simplification

To simplify calculations, angles in DMS format can be converted entirely into decimal degrees or into total seconds before performing arithmetic, then converted back to DMS. This method helps avoid errors in borrowing and makes calculations more straightforward.
