The formula to convert degrees Celsius (°C) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is:

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

To convert 32°C to Fahrenheit, we can substitute 32 for °C in the formula:

°F = (32°C × 9/5) + 32

°F = (32 × 1.8) + 32

°F = 57.6 + 32

°F = 89.6

Therefore, 32 degrees centigrade is equal to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
