Question

convert the following angle to dms notation. do not round. 34.96°

Explanation:

Step1: Separate the degree part

The degree part \( d = 34^{\circ}\)

Step2: Find the minutes part

We know that \(1^{\circ}=60'\). The decimal part is \(0.96\). Multiply the decimal part by \(60\) to get the minutes. So \(m=0.96\times60 = 57.6'\)

Step3: Find the seconds part

The decimal part of the minutes is \(0.6\). Since \(1' = 60''\), multiply the decimal part of the minutes by \(60\) to get the seconds. So \(s=0.6\times60=36''\)

Answer:

\(34^{\circ}57'36''\)
