Answer: 12.7323 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to convert 12 degrees, 34 minutes and 56 seconds to degrees.
12 degrees will remain as 12 degree.
To convert 43 minutes to degree, it would be
60 minutes = 1 degree
43 minutes = 43/60 = 0.7167 degrees
To convert 56 seconds to degree, it would be
3600 seconds = 1 degree
56 seconds = 56/3600 = 0.01556 degrees
Therefore,
12°34'56” to decimal degree form would be
12 + 0.7167 + 0.01556 = 12.73226
Rounding up to four decimal places, it becomes
12.7323 degrees
