Solution
To convert from decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds, follow these steps:
-
The whole units of degrees will remain the same (i.e., 45°).
-
Multiply the decimal by 60 (0.5638 * 60 = 33.828 min). The whole number becomes the minutes (33').
-
Take the remaining decimal and multiply by 60. (0.828 * 60 = 49.68 sec). The resulting number becomes the seconds (approximately 50'').
So, 45.5638° is equivalent to 45° 33’ 50’’. Therefore, the correct answer is 45° 33’ 50’’.
