Express the answer in degrees-minutes-seconds format.
5(29deg 36' 30")
36' 30" = 36.5"
then
(29deg 36' 30") = 29° + 36.5/60° = 29.6083333..
5((29deg 36' 30") = 5(29.608333..)
= 148.041666..°
= 148° + 2' + 30"
or
5(29)° = 145°
5(36') = 108' = 3°
5(30") = 150" = 2' and 30"
so 5((29deg 36' 30")) = (145+3)° 2' 30"
= 148° 2' 30"
here is a neat key on your calculator...
find the key labeled D°M'S
enter 29, then press D°M'S
enter 36, then press D°M'S
enter 30, then press D°M'S
press X 5
press =
to show 148°02'30.00"
WOW!
