Question

example: 75° 15' + 83° 32'

Answer 1

1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

Answer 2

got that

Answer 3

\(\huge 75° 15' = 75° + 15'\)

Answer 4

now convert 15 minutes to degrees and add to 75°

Answer 5

76°

Answer 6

how ?

Answer 7

did you get

15' = 1°

?

Answer 8

\(\huge 15' = 15 * \frac{1}{60} ° \)

Answer 9

.2500?

Answer 10

yes

\(\huge 15' = .25° \)

Answer 11

so,

\(\huge 75° 15' = 75° + 15'\)

\(\huge = 75° + .25° \)

Answer 12

since we have converted minutes to degrees, we can add them now

Answer 13

1.31?

Answer 14

\[75° 15' + 83° 32'\]\[=75° +15' + 83° +32'\]\[=75° + 83° +32'+15'\]\[=(75 + 83)° +(32+15)'\]

Answer 15

still have no idea how to do this, thanks tho

Answer 16

simply add the terms in the brackets,

\[60'=1°\]

Answer 17

for every 60 minutes its one degree? then what happens to the remaining minutes if it doesnt go into the one degree anymore

Answer 18

for example
one degree and 25 minute + degree and 45 minutes
\[1°25'+1°45'\]\[=2°+70'\]\[=3°+10'\]

Answer 19

Add degrees to degrees and minutes to minutes.\[75{}^{\circ} 15'+83{}^{\circ} 32'=158\text{${}^{\circ}$47}' \]
