Why are minutes and seconds necessary in addition to degrees?

Because the difference of a full degree in either latitude or longitude can mean the difference of almost 70 miles (112 km) in location. If latitude and longitude are to be used to describe the location of a point to within a fraction of an inch (millimeter), then the coordinates must be given in small fractions of a degree. So either decimal degrees are used ... typically with five or six decimal places ... or else minutes and seconds are used to subdivide the degree ... 1 minute is 1/60th of a degree, and 1 second is 1/3600th of a degree.
