Question

Question 2 of 10 42.54° is the same as 42° L'24". Answer here I. HEHET

Answer 1

we have

42.54 degrees

Remember that

1 degree=60'

1'=60''

so

42.54 degrees=42+0.54

Convert 0.54 degrees to minutes

Applying proportion

60/1=x/0.54

solve for x

x=0.54*60

x=32.4'

and

32.4=32+0.4

Convert 0.4' to seconds

Multiply by 60

0.4'=0.4*60=24''

therefore

42.54 degrees=42 degrees 32' 24 ''

the anwer is 32'
