Using the TI30XA for Angle Operations

Chris, an instructor at Shoreline Community College, demonstrates how to add and subtract angles using the TI30XA calculator. The tutorial covers entering angles in degrees, minutes, and seconds, converting them to decimal degrees, and performing addition and subtraction operations. The video concludes with a demonstration of converting results back to degrees, minutes, and seconds.
