What is the Formula to convert Compass Points to π Radians?

The formula to convert given angle from Compass Points to π Radians is:

Angle(π Radians) = Angle(Compass Points) / 16

Substitute the given value of angle in compass points, i.e., Angle(Compass Points) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in π radians, i.e., Angle(π Radians).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

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 π Radians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = 8

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from compass points to π radians is:

Angle(π Radians) = Angle(Compass Points) / 16

Substitution:

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

Angle(π Radians) = 8 / 16

Angle(π Radians) = 0.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 8 compass point is equal to 0.5 π radians.

The angle is 0.5 π radians, in π radians.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in compass points is:

Angle(Compass Points) = 4

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from compass points to π radians is:

Angle(π Radians) = Angle(Compass Points) / 16

Substitution:

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

Angle(π Radians) = 4 / 16

Angle(π Radians) = 0.25

Final Answer:

Therefore, 4 compass point is equal to 0.25 π radians.

The angle is 0.25 π radians, in π radians.

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.

π Radians

π radians represent a half-circle or 180 degrees. This unit is fundamental in mathematics, particularly in trigonometry and calculus, where the relationship between angles and the properties of circles is central to many concepts. The use of π radians simplifies the representation of angles and the formulation of trigonometric functions.
