displaying degrees, mintues & seconds for angles in MathCad
displaying degrees, mintues & seconds for angles in MathCad
(OP)
Is there a way to display degrees, minutes & seconds in Mathcad? MathCad defaults are in radians and decimal degrees. Any help is greatly appreciated.





RE: displaying degrees, mintues & seconds for angles in MathCad
Deg(X)=trunc(X)
Min(X)=trunc(60(X-Deg(X))
Sec(X)=trunc(3600.(X-Deg(X))-60.(Min(X))
ex.
X=5.23 Deg(X)=5 Min(X)=13 Sec(X)=48
Notice that MathCad recognise the unit "deg" and "rad" (See the HELP index in your program). In the simplified sample above the input value X is in degree.
