HP 33S

[Rodfat]

Is there a way on the HP 33S to enter into the calculator degrees, minutes, seconds.

Example: How would you enter 78 degrees, 35 minutes, 30 seconds into the Calculator?

If you can do this on the HP 33S how do you convert minutes and seconds to degree?

I don't know the answer to your question....

Call me an asshole, but... wouldn't it havebeen easies to post once in the "anything about PE exam" forum, than making three identical posts in three forums?

just a thought.

look at the shift functions above the #5 & 6 HMS = hours minutes seconds, I know its not the question but, if you're adding angles change them to HR first them change answer back to HMS (this gave me fits, just thaught I'd throw it in)
