 * Degrees, Minutes and Seconds **

Recall that:

1 degree = 60 minutes (60')

1 minute = 60 seconds (60")

So (for example): math 15^\circ \; 23' \; 18'' = \Big( 15 + \dfrac{23}{60} + \dfrac{18}{3600} \Big)^\circ math media type="custom" key="8135500" media type="custom" key="8135508" align="right" DMS on the Classpad

Classpad povides a way to convert between media type="custom" key="8135530".


 * DMS** and **toDMS** are in the **Action** Menu, **Transformation** submenu (media type="custom" key="8135678").

12º 30’ is entered as **DMS**(12, 30) {in degrees mode}

47º 15' 3" is entered as **DMS**(47, 15, 3)

to change 4.75º into DMS, enter **toDMS**(4.75) {the result will be **DMS**(4, 45, 0) meaning 4º 45’ 0"}

We can change media type="custom" key="8135514" by changing to radian mode and entering **DMS** followed by the degrees sign(º) {eg DMS(4, 30)º } { choose decimal or standard (fraction of **p** )}

We can change media type="custom" key="8135520" by changing to degrees mode and entering **toDMS** and including the angle followed by the radian sign(r) {eg toDMS(1r) }
