Two directions are recorded as

12^{ m o}\,17'\,30.5''

and

-5^{ m o}\,42'\,15.2''

. (i) Express

12^{ m o}\,17'\,30.5''

in decimal degrees, correct to

0.01^{\rm o}

. (ii) Express

-5^{\rm o}\,42'\,15.2''

in decimal degrees, correct to

0.01^{\rm o}

. (iii) Hence determine the total angular separation between the two directions in decimal degrees, correct to

0.01^{\rm o}
