d DMS
d " " displays the DMS menu:
|
1:¡ |
Specifies the angle unit modifier as degrees (¡). |
|
2:¢ |
Specifies the angle unit modifier as minutes (¢). |
|
3:£ |
Specifies the angle unit modifier as seconds (£). |
|
4:r |
Specifies a radian angle. |
|
5:g |
Specifies a gradian angle. |
|
6:´DMS |
Converts angle from decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds. |
Choose an angle mode from the mode screen. You can choose from DEGREE (default), RADIAN, or GRADIAN. Entries are interpreted and results displayed according to the angle mode setting without needing to enter an angle unit modifier.
Note: You can also convert between rectangular coordinate form (R) and polar coordinate form (P). (See Rectangular to Polar for more information.)

Problem
Two adjacent angles measure 12¡ 31¢ 45£ and 26¡ 54¢ 38£ respectively. Add the two angles and display the result in DMS format. Round the results to two decimal places.

The result is 39 degrees, 26 minutes and 23 seconds.
Problem
It is known that 30¡ = p / 6 radians. In the default mode, degrees, find the sine of 30¡. Then set the calculator to radian mode and calculate the sine of p / 6 radians.
