Write each angle in degrees, minutes, seconds

The video tutorial explains how to convert angles given in minutes and seconds into decimal form. It starts by relating degrees to time units, explaining that 60 minutes equal one degree and 3600 seconds equal one degree. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate fractional degrees from given minutes and seconds, and how to find their decimal approximations. Finally, it sums up the calculations, emphasizing the importance of direction indicated by negative signs.

What is the relationship between minutes and degrees when measuring angles?

• 1 minute equals 1 degree

• 60 minutes equals 1 degree

• 30 minutes equals 1 degree

• 120 minutes equals 1 degree

How many seconds are there in one degree?

• 1800 seconds

• 3600 seconds

• 600 seconds

• 60 seconds

When converting 16 minutes to a fraction of a degree, what is the correct fraction?

• 16/60

• 16/3600

• 60/16

• 3600/16

What is the decimal approximation of 20 seconds in terms of degrees?

• 0.0056

• 0.056

• 0.00056

• 0.0567

Why is the negative sign important when calculating angles?

• It is used to convert minutes to seconds

• It shows the direction of the angle

• It indicates the size of the angle

• It is used to convert degrees to radians
