We are asked to solve for the degree equivalent of the given 121 degrees 22' 36". In order for us to solve this, we need to know the conversion such as:
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
Solving 22' to degrees, we have it:
22' * (degrees / 60 minute) = 0.3667 degrees
Solving for 36" to minutes and then to degrees, we have it:
36" * (' / 60") = 0.6'
0.6' * (degrees / 60 minutes) = 0.01 degrees
We need to add all the results in degrees such as:
121 + 0.3667 + 0.01 = 121.3767 degrees
The answer is 121.38°.
