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 Gradians.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in compass points is:
Angle(Compass Points) = 8
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from compass points to gradians is:
Angle(Gradians) = Angle(Compass Points) × 12.5
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 8 in the above formula.
Angle(Gradians) = 8 × 12.5
Angle(Gradians) = 100
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 compass point is equal to 100 gon.
The angle is 100 gon, in gradians.
2
Consider that a hiker adjusts their direction by 4 compass points to stay on track. Convert this direction from compass points to Gradians.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in compass points is:
Angle(Compass Points) = 4
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from compass points to gradians is:
Angle(Gradians) = Angle(Compass Points) × 12.5
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Compass Points) = 4 in the above formula.
Angle(Gradians) = 4 × 12.5
Angle(Gradians) = 50
Final Answer:
Therefore, 4 compass point is equal to 50 gon.
The angle is 50 gon, in gradians.

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.
Gradians
Gradians, also known as grads or gon, are a unit of angular measurement where a full circle is divided into 400 gradians. This unit is particularly useful in fields such as surveying and civil engineering, especially in some European countries. One gradian is equivalent to 0.9 degrees, making it convenient for calculating right angles and dividing circles into decimal fractions.
