What is the Formula to convert Gradians to Degrees?

The formula to convert given angle from Gradians to Degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Gradians) × 9 / 10

Substitute the given value of angle in gradians, i.e., Angle(Gradians) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in degrees, i.e., Angle(Degrees).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a precision engineering tool adjusts by 100 gradians.
Convert this angle from gradians to Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = 100

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from gradians to degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Gradians) × 9 / 10

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Gradians) = 100 in the above formula.

Angle(Degrees) = 100 × 9 / 10

Angle(Degrees) = 90

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100 gon is equal to 90 °.

The angle is 90 °, in degrees.

2

Consider that a civil engineer designs a slope with an angle of 90 gradians.
Convert this angle from gradians to Degrees.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = 90

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from gradians to degrees is:

Angle(Degrees) = Angle(Gradians) × 9 / 10

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Gradians) = 90 in the above formula.

Angle(Degrees) = 90 × 9 / 10

Angle(Degrees) = 81

Final Answer:

Therefore, 90 gon is equal to 81 °.

The angle is 81 °, in degrees.

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.

Degrees

Degrees are a widely used unit of angular measurement, especially in geometry, trigonometry, and everyday applications. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees, with each degree further divided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. Degrees offer an intuitive way to express angles, and they are prevalent in fields ranging from navigation to astronomy, as well as in common day-to-day measurements.
