What is the equivalent of 4 min. 04 sec. in arc units?
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
