1 2 Adding And Subtracting Angles Degrees Minutes And Seconds Youtube

Adding And Subtracting Degrees Minutes And Seconds Youtube Adding and subtracting angles measured in degrees, minutes and seconds. this video is provided by the learning assistance center of howard community college . Initially the parts of a degree are explained. one degree can be divided into 60 equal parts called minutes and one minute can be divided into 60 equal part.

1 2 Adding And Subtracting Angles Degrees Minutes And Seconds Youtube Learn how to add and subtract angle values that are in degrees, minutes, seconds. this video shows how to do hand calculations. i will put a link in the vid. This calculator is used to add and subtract angles in the form degrees minutes seconds (dms). each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute further divided into 60 seconds. this form is used in astronomy and defining latitude and longitude. example 34° 24' 16''. this is read as "34 degrees 24 minutes 16 seconds". Pretty cool when you think about it. anyway, because of this, we can now say that 1 degree is equal to 60 minutes and 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, as nicely stated by augusta technical college. therefore, when we need to convert from dms to decimal degree or vice versa, all we have to do is basically divide or multiply by 60! in this lesson. If now we have an angle measured in decimal degrees, we can convert this measure to degrees, minutes, and seconds using the fact that 1 = 6 0 ′ = 3 6 0 0 ′ ′ ∘. let us take, for instance, 2. 2 5 ∘. it is 2 ∘ plus a quarter of a degree. as a degree is 6 0 ′, a quarter of a degree is 1 5 ′. therefore, 2. 2 5 = 2 1 5 ′ ∘ ∘.
