Answer to Problem 1A

The angle 159.3596o as degrees, minutes and seconds can be written as 159°21'34"

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

In the angle 159.3596o, the whole number 159 is the angle in degrees. The remaining decimal 0.3596 when multiplied with 60, will give the angle expressed in minutes.

That means,

  0.3596×60=21.576, the whole number 21 is the angle in minutes.

Now, to find the seconds part of the angle, let us multiply the decimal part of the minutes with 60.

  0.576×60=34.56, the whole number 34 equals seconds.

Thus, the decimal angle 159.3596o can be expressed as 159 degrees, 21 minutes, and 34 seconds.

This can also be written as
