Assuming that they're referring to decimal degree notation, and not Degrees-Minutes-Seconds, and that the location is correct, and ignoring the spheroid vs perfect sphere issues: about 11.1 meters (36.4 ft).

If it's DMS, again assuming location is correct, ignoring spheroid vs sphere: something between 80 and 100 ft (24.4 - 30.48 meters).
