- In the DMS system, there are 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in one degree, and 60 seconds in one minute. So converting 34.88° to DMS would be 34° 52' 48" (34 degrees, 52 minutes, and 48 seconds.) Why do you think this way of measuring angles exists? In what situation(s) would it prove to be useful? Think of the many reasons we would need angles to be measured and see how this system of measurement fits into that view.arrow_forwardIn the DMS system, there are 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in one degree, and 60 seconds in one minute.
