AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 10°42'. To convert 42 minutes and 48 seconds into arc units, we need to convert the time units into degrees, minutes, and seconds. * 42 minutes and 48 seconds is equivalent to 42.8 minutes, which is equal to 10 degrees and 42 minutes (10°42'). The other answer choices are incorrect because: * B) 21°24' is double the correct value. * C) 11°19' is a different conversion that does not match the given time. * D) 18°16' is also a different conversion that does not match the given time.
