Examples

1

Consider that an astronomer adjusts a telescope by 15 minutes of arc to focus on a distant star.
Convert this angle from minutes to Gradians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from minutes to gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = Angle(Minutes) / 54

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 15 in the above formula.

Angle(Gradians) = 15 / 54

Angle(Gradians) = 0.2778

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ' is equal to 0.2778 gon.

The angle is 0.2778 gon, in gradians.

2

Consider that a surveyor sets the angle of a theodolite to 10 minutes for precise measurement.
Convert this angle from minutes to Gradians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in minutes is:

Angle(Minutes) = 10

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from minutes to gradians is:

Angle(Gradians) = Angle(Minutes) / 54

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 10 in the above formula.

Angle(Gradians) = 10 / 54

Angle(Gradians) = 0.1852

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10 ' is equal to 0.1852 gon.

The angle is 0.1852 gon, in gradians.

Minutes

Minutes of arc are a finer subdivision of degrees, with 60 minutes making up one degree. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds of arc. This unit allows for precise angular measurements and is commonly used in fields like astronomy, navigation, and geodesy, where detailed accuracy is required for mapping and celestial observations.

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.
