Coordinate Math lab 2

Converting coordinates to decimals

Adding coordinates

  1. degrees x 3600=seconds
    minutes x 60=seconds
  2. seconds/3600=degrees
  3. if longitude exceeds 180 degrees then convert to other direction.
    360* minus 202* 29' 10"

    General Math

    1. circumference = 2πr
