For
angle with d integer degrees m minutes and s seconds:
d°
m' s"
The
decimal degrees dd is equal to:
dd
= d + m/60 + s/3600
Example
Convert
30 degrees 15 minutes and 50 seconds angle to decimal degrees:30° 15' 50"
The
decimal degrees dd is equal to:
dd
= d + m/60 + s/3600 = 30° + 15'/60 + 50"/3600 = 30.263888889°
