Question

6. Calculate the value of tan (48°19'23").

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60' (minutes) in a degree and 60" in a minute meaning that we have (60×60) seconds in a degree.

Therefore to convert seconds to degrees we divide by 3600. and minutes to degrees we divide by 60.

The angle 48°19'23'' can be converted into a decimal as follows

48°+(19/60+23/3600)°

=48.323°

Tan 48.323= 1.12
