question 236

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A surveyor recording data for a new subdivision measured an angle as $16.77 ^ { \circ }$ . The next day, a different surveyor measured the same angle as $16 ^ { \circ } 34 ^ { \prime }$ . Find the difference between these measurements (i) to the nearest minute and (ii) to the nearest hundredth of a degree.

• A) (i) \(35 ^ { \prime }\)(ii) \(0.39 ^ { \circ }\)
• B) (i) \(80 ^ { \prime }\)(ii) \(1.34 ^ { \circ }\)
• C) (i) \(12 ^ { \prime }\)(ii) \(0.20 ^ { \circ }\)
• D) (i) \(43 ^ { \prime }\)(ii) \(0.43 ^ { \circ }\)
