2. Express your answer in
i) Degree and minutes
ii) Radians
i) 25° 11’ + 20.6 rad – 55’
= 25° 11’ + 1, 180.29° – 55
= 1204° 33’
= 21.02rad
ii) 0.8rad + 16.4° + 73.8rad – 120° 54’
= 0.8rad + 0.29rad + 73.8rad – 2.11rad
= 72.78rad
= 4169° 45’
iii) 71° 41’ 22’’ + 29.8rad – 16.4°
= 71° 41’ 22’’ + 1,707.41° – 16.4°
= 1762° 41’
= 30.76rad
