Question

Convert to degrees, minutes and seconds.332.68°

Answer 1

The integer degrees (d) are equal to the integer part of the decimal degrees (dd).

Here, the integer part of the given decimal degree is 332.

`\begin{gathered} d=\text{int}(332.68^(\circ)) \\ =332^(\circ) \end{gathered}`

Now, the minutes (m) are equal to the integer part of the decimal degrees (dd) minus integer degrees (d) times 60.

`\begin{gathered} m=\text{integer((dd}-d)\cdot60) \\ =\text{integer}((332.68^(\circ)-332^(\circ))\cdot60) \\ =\text{integer}(40.8) \\ =40^(\prime) \end{gathered}`

The seconds are equal to the decimal degrees (dd) minus integer degrees (d) minus minutes (m) divided by 60 times 3600.
