What is the Formula to convert Gradians to Sextants?

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

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Gradians) × 3 / 200

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 sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants).

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 Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = 100

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from gradians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Gradians) × 3 / 200

Substitution:

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

Angle(Sextants) = 100 × 3 / 200

Angle(Sextants) = 1.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100 gon is equal to 1.5 sextant.

The angle is 1.5 sextant, in sextants.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = 90

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from gradians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Gradians) × 3 / 200

Substitution:

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

Angle(Sextants) = 90 × 3 / 200

Angle(Sextants) = 1.35

Final Answer:

Therefore, 90 gon is equal to 1.35 sextant.

The angle is 1.35 sextant, in sextants.

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.

Sextants

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, representing one-sixth of a full circle, or 60 degrees. The sextant instrument, named after this unit, is used to measure the angle between two visible objects, such as a star and the horizon, enabling precise determination of latitude and longitude at sea.
