| This tutorial will use the problem below to illustrate how to work with degrees and minutes with the calculator. All TI calculators (that I know about) allow you to converte between degrees and minutes/Seconds. The problem below asks for the answers in minutes and assumes that you are familiar with sine, cosine, tangent as well as inverse sine, cosine and tangent | |
| Given sinθ = .341, express θ in degrees and minutes | |
| Step 1) Press 2nd sin
Step 2) enter .341 |
|
Step 3) 2nd Angle |
|
| Step 4)Scroll to DMS which stands for Degrees Minutes and Seconds | |
| Step 5) Press Enter | |
| Viola, your goold old TI Graphing Calculator came to the rescue: | |
| This angle is 19 degrees 56 minutes and 16.12 seconds |
