What is the equivalent of 37 min. 32 sec. in arc units?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 9°23'.
To convert time units (minutes and seconds) to arc units (degrees and minutes), we use the following conversion:
1 hour = 360°
1 minute = 6°
1 second = 0.1°
Therefore, 37 minutes and 32 seconds can be calculated as:
37 minutes = 37 * 6° = 222°
32 seconds = 32 * 0.1° = 3.2°
Total = 222° + 3.2° = 225.2°
Rounding this to the nearest minute gives us 9°23', which is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 37 minutes and 32 seconds to arc units.
