Question

Convert 35°24` dms to decimal form

Answer 1

To convert 35°24' to a decimal degree form, divide the minutes (24) by 60 to obtain 0.4 and add that to the 35 degrees, resulting in 35.4°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the angle measurement of 35°24' from degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) to decimal form, you need to convert the minutes into a decimal. Since there are 60 minutes in a degree, you divide the number of minutes by 60 to get the decimal equivalent. The given angle has 35 degrees and 24 minutes.

Here's the conversion:

• First, convert the minutes to degrees by dividing by 60: 24' ÷ 60 = 0.4 degrees.
• Add this decimal to the degrees to get the total in decimal form: 35 degrees + 0.4 degrees = 35.4 degrees.

Therefore, 35°24' in decimal form is 35.4°.

Answer 2

35°24` = 35 degrees plus 24/60 degrees = 35.4 degrees.

24/60 degrees is equivalent to 24 minutes.
