What is the Formula to convert Hexa-Contades to Sextants?

The formula to convert given angle from Hexa-Contades to Sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Hexa-Contades) / 10

Substitute the given value of angle in hexa-contades, i.e., Angle(Hexa-Contades) 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 an astronomical observation is recorded at 20 hexacontades.
Convert this angle from hexacontades to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in hexa-contades is:

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from hexa-contades to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Hexa-Contades) / 10

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 20 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 20 / 10

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 hexacontade is equal to 2 sextant.

The angle is 2 sextant, in sextants.

2

Consider that a solar panel's angle is adjusted by 10 hexacontades for maximum efficiency.
Convert this angle from hexacontades to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in hexa-contades is:

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from hexa-contades to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Hexa-Contades) / 10

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 10 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 10 / 10

Angle(Sextants) = 1

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 hexacontade is equal to 1 sextant.

The angle is 1 sextant, in sextants.

Hexa-Contades

Hexa-contades are an ancient unit of angular measurement, originating from Babylonian astronomy, where the circle was divided into 60 parts, with each part further divided into 6 degrees. This system reflects the base-60 numeral system used by the Babylonians and was foundational in early astronomical calculations.

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.
