This angle is "29 degrees 6 minutes 6 seconds".

-- There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.
So 1 minute = 1/60 degree.

-- There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
So 1 second = 1/60 minute = 1/3600 degree.

29 6' 6" = (29)° + (6/60)° + (6/3600)°

= (29)° + (0.1)° + (0.001666...)°

= 29.101666...°

Rounded to the nearest thousandth of a degree: 29.102°
