Degrees To Dms
1. The problem is to convert an angle given in degrees into Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS) format.
2. Start with the angle in decimal degrees, for example, $\theta = 45.7625^\circ$.
3. The degrees part is the integer part: $45^\circ$.
4. To find the minutes, take the decimal part $0.7625$ and multiply by 60: $0.7625 \times 60 = 45.75$ minutes.
5. The integer part of this is the minutes: $45'$.
6. To find the seconds, take the decimal part $0.75$ of the minutes and multiply by 60: $0.75 \times 60 = 45$ seconds.
7. So, the angle $45.7625^\circ$ in DMS form is $45^\circ 45' 45''$.
8. This method is general and can be applied to convert any decimal degree angle into DMS format.
