All right.
00:04
Here, in this set of problems, 19 through 24, we're given an angle in degrees, and we want to convert to dms, which of course is degrees minutes, seconds.
00:19
Now, of course, your calculators can do this very easily, and i know it says to use a calculator, but there wouldn't be much to watching this video if all i did was show you how to push a couple buttons.
00:32
So we will confirm our answer with the calculator, but let's just talk about how to do it quickly by hand because it's not that difficult.
00:44
So first of all, if our given angle is 24 .56, then our answer is going to be 24 degrees and then some number of minutes, and then depending on that, it might be some number of seconds as well.
00:56
Well, okay? so how do we do that? well, we remember that one degree is equal to 60 minutes.
01:05
So 0 .56 of a degree will multiply by 60, and that will give us the number of minutes.
01:21
And if that's a whole number, your answer is done.
01:24
It's not.
01:25
It's 33 .6.
01:28
So the .56 is 33 .6 minutes.
01:34
So again, that's a decimal.
01:35
So the minutes go here, and now we do the same thing with that .6 minutes.
01:43
Right? one minute is 60 seconds...
