All right, and number 26, we're given 63 degrees, 29 minutes, 42 seconds, and we want to convert that to just degrees.
00:14
Obviously, it's going to be a decimal, but that should tell you that we already know that our answer is going to be 63.
00:22
Something degrees.
00:23
We just got to figure out what that point something is, and to do that, we're just going to use these conversion formulas there that you see on the right.
00:31
Okay.
00:33
Each minute is one -60th of a degree.
00:37
So 29 minutes is equivalent to 29 -60ths of a degree.
00:46
And each minute is, or each second is 1 -3600th of a degree, right? because that's just 1 over 60 times 1 over 60.
00:58
So each second is 1 -3 ,600.
01:03
So if i have 42 seconds, that's equivalent to 42, 3 ,600ths of a degree.
01:12
And then all we have to do is add all of it together.
01:17
So to find the number of degrees, we're going to do 63 plus 2960ths plus 42, 3600s.
01:27
And that will give us our decimal answer of degrees...
