How do I enter 83° 17' 25" as a dimension when creating a sketch?

I have a drawing I'm working with that shows a angle of 83° 17' 25".
When I go to dimension that angle on the sketch I created I can type it in as 83° 17" 25" but OS does not let me enter that as the dimension.
Do I need to convert the 83° 17' 25" to a decimal or something first and if so how?
I tried searching google for the answer but must not know the correct thing to search for.
Thanks!

Seems I can convert 83° 17' 25" to 83.29028°
Is that the correct way to go about it?
Also is there a standard when it comes to mechanical drawings and degrees as far as if the dimension should be shown in deg, min, sec or simply as a decimal to start with?
Thanks
I had not thought of trying to enter it like that, thanks!
