Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
We know the relationship between radians and degrees is .
Therefore, .
Since (minutes of arc) (seconds of arc), we have .
Substituting this into the radian conversion gives .
Thus, to convert an angle from radians to seconds of arc, the value must be multiplied by the factor .
