Answer
Answer key: Angle worksheet
Calcapedia 1. Decimal degrees: 40.48 °
Convert minutes and seconds to fractions of a degree: a degree has 60 minutes and 3,600 seconds
Add the degrees and those fractions to get decimal degrees
2. Decimal degrees: 32.44 °
Convert minutes and seconds to fractions of a degree: a degree has 60 minutes and 3,600 seconds
Add the degrees and those fractions to get decimal degrees
3. In turns: 28.65 turn
Convert to degrees first, since every unit has a fixed size in degrees: 1 rad = 180/π ≈ 57.2957795131°, so multiply
Convert to turns: 1 turn = 360°, so divide
4. Decimal degrees: 50.36 °
Convert minutes and seconds to fractions of a degree: a degree has 60 minutes and 3,600 seconds
Add the degrees and those fractions to get decimal degrees
5. In turns: 0.63 turn
Convert to turns: 1 turn = 360°, so divide
6. Decimal degrees: 45.61 °
Convert minutes and seconds to fractions of a degree: a degree has 60 minutes and 3,600 seconds
Add the degrees and those fractions to get decimal degrees
7. Degrees, minutes, seconds: −92° 30′ 0″
The whole number is the degrees. Keep the leftover fraction for the next step
Multiply the leftover fraction by 60, because a degree has 60 minutes. The whole number is the minutes
Multiply the leftover fraction of a minute by 60 to get the seconds, rounded to 4 decimals
Put the pieces together and keep the negative sign
8. Degrees, minutes, seconds: −90° 0′ 0″
The whole number is the degrees. Keep the leftover fraction for the next step
Multiply the leftover fraction by 60, because a degree has 60 minutes. The whole number is the minutes
Multiply the leftover fraction of a minute by 60 to get the seconds, rounded to 4 decimals
Put the pieces together and keep the negative sign
9. Decimal degrees: 32.38 °
Convert minutes and seconds to fractions of a degree: a degree has 60 minutes and 3,600 seconds
Add the degrees and those fractions to get decimal degrees
10. Degrees, minutes, seconds: −65° 0′ 0″
The whole number is the degrees. Keep the leftover fraction for the next step
Multiply the leftover fraction by 60, because a degree has 60 minutes. The whole number is the minutes
Multiply the leftover fraction of a minute by 60 to get the seconds, rounded to 4 decimals
Put the pieces together and keep the negative sign
