AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 11 min. 28 sec. To convert an angle in degrees, minutes, and seconds to time units, you can use the following conversion: 1 degree = 4 minutes of time 1 minute of arc = 4 seconds of time Given that the angle is 2°52', we can calculate the time equivalent as follows: 2 degrees = 8 minutes of time 52 minutes of arc = 208 seconds of time Adding these together gives us 8 minutes + 208 seconds, which is equal to 11 minutes and 28 seconds. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time equivalent of 2°52' using the provided conversion.
