displaying degrees, mintues & seconds for angles in MathCad

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

I belive that there is not a direct command in MathCad that provide directly the conversion to Degree, Min & Sec. However, this can be obtain as follow:
  
  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.
