Question

How do you convert `-345.12^circ` to `D^circM'S''` form?

Answer 1

`-345.12^@ = -(345^@ 7min 12sec)`

Explanation:

Conversion table for degrees `(@`), minutes (') & seconds (") :

`60^" = 1^', 60' = 1^@`

Given `-345 . 12^@`

`-345.12^@ = -345 -(0.12 ) = -345^@ - ((12/(10cancel(0))) * (6cancel0))^'`

`=> -345^@ + (- 72/10)' = -345^@ - 7' - (2/(1cancel(0)) *(6cancel0))"`

`=> -345^@ - 7' - 12sec = -345^@ 7' 12`"
