Question

can somebody please explain how i can solve this?
Convert the angle measure to degrees, minutes, and seconds.
12.25°

Answer 1

1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
12.25 degrees = 12 degrees + 0.25 degrees
0.25 degrees * 60 minutes/degree = 15 minutes
12.25 degrees = 12 degrees 15 minutes 0 seconds

Answer 2

oh i see, thank you so much!! can you help me do this one just to get a better understanding?
132.45°

Answer 3

Same idea:
132.45 degrees = 132 degrees + 0.45 degree
0.45 degree * 60 minutes/degree = 27 minutes
132.45 degrees = 132 degrees 27 minutes 0 seconds
