and how can I turn decimal number into degrees, for example I have asin(0.2) and i get 11.536959032815 - how to get that in degrees, minutes, and seconds?
Hello Melody:
There is a calculator online that you can download for free, which does this type of conversion and many things besides. It has a range that can go as high as 10^billion.........etc. It is an android calculator developed for Google and is called "HiPPER Calc". Just google its name and you will see it.
11.536959032815 degrees
it is a bit fiddly and you are probably better off to uses a different calc for this BUT
you know it is 11 degrees
11.536959032815-11=0.536959032815
0.536959032815*60 = 32.2175419689
so that is 32 minutes
32.2175419689-32 = 0.2175419689
0.2175419689*60 = 13.052518134
so
11.536959032815 degrees = 11 degrees, 32 minutes and 13.05 seconds
Thank you !! And I know that I should use casio or one of the other scientific calculators, but I didn't have time to buy one and none of online calculators has dms button. Why don't they make an online calculator with that button ?
I looked and could not find one either ://
That is really strange I think.......
Maybe someone else can find one???
There are a few sites like this one though

Maybe that would help ?

It has even got a BS button. All calculators should have one of those !!!
