Examples

1

Consider that a ship's navigation system shifts by 8 compass points to adjust its course.
Convert this direction from compass points to Binary Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = 8

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from compass points to binary degrees is:

Angle(Binary Degrees) = Angle(Compass Points) × 8

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 8 in the above formula.

Angle(Binary Degrees) = 8 × 8

Angle(Binary Degrees) = 64

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 compass point is equal to 64 °.

The angle is 64 °, in binary degrees.

2

Consider that a hiker adjusts their direction by 4 compass points to stay on track.
Convert this direction from compass points to Binary Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = 4

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from compass points to binary degrees is:

Angle(Binary Degrees) = Angle(Compass Points) × 8

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 4 in the above formula.

Angle(Binary Degrees) = 4 × 8

Angle(Binary Degrees) = 32

Final Answer:

Therefore, 4 compass point is equal to 32 °.

The angle is 32 °, in binary degrees.

Compass Points

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement used in navigation and cartography to represent directions on a compass. Traditionally, the compass is divided into 32 points, each representing 11.25 degrees. Compass points are essential in maritime navigation, aviation, and orienteering, providing a simple and standardized way to describe directions.

Binary Degrees

Binary degrees, or 'binary angles,' are a unit of angular measurement used in digital systems where angles are represented using binary numbers. This system is particularly useful in computer graphics, robotics, and digital signal processing, where binary calculations are more efficient than traditional degrees.
