Open in App
Solution

1 radian = 57 degree 17 min 44.806 sec

1 rad = 180°/π = 57.295779513°


example
  1. The whole units of degrees will remain the same (i.e. in 121.135°
    longitude, start with 121°).
  2. Multiply the decimal by 60 (i.e. .135 * 60 = 8.1).

  3. The whole number becomes the minutes (8').

  4. Take the remaining decimal and multiply by 60. (i.e. .1 * 60 = 6).

  5. The resulting number becomes the seconds (6"). Seconds can remain as a decimal.
  6. Take your three sets of numbers and put them together, using the symbols for degrees (°), minutes (‘), and seconds (") (i.e. 121°8'6" longitude)
