Problem

(i) Define each of the following terms: (a) degree–minute–second (DMS) form of an angle (b) radian measure of an angle (ii) Explain, without performing any calculation, why an angle whose DMS measure is 360∘360^{\circ} is numerically unequal to its radian measure although both represent one complete revolution. (iii) An angle is stated as 12∘ 30′ 0′′12^{\circ}\,30'\,0''. Describe in words the two conceptual stages that must be carried out to write this angle in radian measure. Do not do the numerical work; focus only on the reasoning sequence.
