Write the measure 29° 6' 6" as decimal to the nearest thousandth.

1 answer:

6 0

This angle is "29 degrees 6 minutes 6 seconds".

-- There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.
   So 1 minute = 1/60 degree.

-- There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
      So 1 second = 1/60 minute = 1/3600 degree.

29 6' 6" = (29)° + (6/60)° + (6/3600)°

   = (29)° + (0.1)° + (0.001666...)°

   = 29.101666...°

Rounded to the nearest thousandth of a degree: 29.102°
