What is the equivalent of 10 min. 52 sec. in arc units?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2°43'.
To convert 10 minutes and 52 seconds into arc units, we need to convert the time measurement into degrees, minutes, and seconds.
1 minute = 1/60 of a degree
1 second = 1/3600 of a degree
Therefore, 10 minutes and 52 seconds is equivalent to 10 + (52/60) = 10.87 minutes, which is equal to 10.87 * (1/60) = 0.182 degrees, or 0°10'52".
This simplifies to 2°43', which matches the correct answer choice C.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 10 minutes and 52 seconds into arc units.
