To change a degree and minute measure to decimal degrees, you need to convert the minutes into a decimal value.
First, convert the number of minutes to a decimal by dividing it by 60. In this case, there are 20 minutes, so 20/60 = 0.33.
Next, add the decimal value to the degree value. In this case, the degree value is 43, so 43 + 0.33 = 43.33.
Therefore, the decimal degrees equivalent of 43° 20' is approximately 43.33 degrees.
