I was solving a triangle Angle A, and I used cos A to find that angle... I just forgot how to find the seconds in 82.81924 degrees

but its just a conversion ratio ...

60 minutes = 1 degree , multiply both sides by that .81924

60*60 seconds = 1 degree if you want to find seconds

Sorry I meant seconds. I'm confused :/ how would I do that 6o times what??

amistre64 · Answer

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds ; *60 gives us

60 minutes = 60*60 seconds

therefore   1 degree = 60*60 seconds
