Transcribed Image Text:1. Practice converting the following angles to different units, but maintain the proper number of significant
digits based on the angles provided.
a) Convert angles in degrees into smaller units (see TABLE A)
0.53⁰
arc minutes
1/10,000th degree
_arc seconds
1/1000th degree
arc seconds
Transcribed Image Text:TABLE A: Converting degrees to smaller angular units.
Multiply the # of degrees by 60 to get arc-minutes, and by 3600 to get arc-seconds.
1/10° = 0.1° = 0.1 degrees x 60 arc-minutes/degree
2/100° = 0.02° = 0.02 degrees x 60 arc-minutes/° x 60 arc-sec/arc-min = 72 arc seconds
1/1800° = 0.000556° = 0.000556 degrees x 3600 arc-sec/degree = 2 arc seconds
Note all answers should be rounded to just 1 significant digit! Why?
= 6 are minutes
