To convert 123.60' into centesimal system, we need to first convert minutes to decimal degrees.

FORMULA:
decimaldegrees= degrees+ (minutes)/(60)+(seconds)/(3600)

STEPS:

  • In this case, we have:
    decimaldegrees=123+(60)/(60)+(0)/(3600)=123.01
  • We can now convert the decimal deg to centesimal degrees. Since a right angle is 100 centesimal degrees, we can this formula:
    centesimaldegrees= (decimaldegrees)/(0.9)
  • In this case, we have:
    centesimaldegrees= (123.01)/(0.9)= 136.68

Therefore, the angle 123.60' is approximately equal to 136.68 centesimal degrees.
