A
60°16'
B
2°08'
C
1°01'
D
8°08'
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1°01'. To convert 4 minutes and 4 seconds to arc units, we need to use the following conversion: 1 minute = 1/60 of a degree 1 second = 1/3600 of a degree Therefore, 4 minutes and 4 seconds can be calculated as: 4 minutes = 4 x (1/60) = 0°40' 4 seconds = 4 x (1/3600) = 0°01' Total = 0°40' + 0°01' = 1°01' The other options are incorrect because: A) 60°16' is too large B) 2°08' is too large D) 8°08' is too large
