Conversion Formula

To convert degrees to minutes and seconds, we use these formulas:

Degrees to Minutes: 1° = 60'

Degrees to Seconds: 1° = 3600"

Minutes to Seconds: 1' = 60"

When adding two angles, we first convert everything to seconds, perform the addition, then convert back to degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Example Calculation

Let's add 45° 30' 15" and 22° 15' 45":

Convert first angle to seconds: (45 × 3600) + (30 × 60) + 15 = 162,195"
Convert second angle to seconds: (22 × 3600) + (15 × 60) + 45 = 79,845"
Add the seconds: 162,195 + 79,845 = 242,040"
Convert back to degrees: 242,040 ÷ 3600 = 67.233°
Extract minutes: 0.233° × 60 = 14'
Extract seconds: 0.233° × 3600 = 8.4"

The final result is 67° 14' 8.4".

FAQ

Can I add more than two angles at once?

This calculator is designed for adding two angles at a time. For more complex calculations, you would need to add them sequentially.

What if my result has more than 60 seconds or minutes?

The calculator automatically handles overflow by converting excess seconds to minutes and excess minutes to degrees.

Is this calculator accurate for all types of angles?

Yes, this calculator works for any angle measurement, whether positive or negative, whole numbers or decimals.
