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 Quadrants.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to quadrants is:
Angle(Quadrants) = Angle(Minutes) / 5400
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 15 in the above formula.
Angle(Quadrants) = 15 / 5400
Angle(Quadrants) = 0.00277777778
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ' is equal to 0.00277777778 quadrant.
The angle is 0.00277777778 quadrant, in quadrants.
2
Consider that a surveyor sets the angle of a theodolite to 10 minutes for precise measurement. Convert this angle from minutes to Quadrants.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in minutes is:
Angle(Minutes) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from minutes to quadrants is:
Angle(Quadrants) = Angle(Minutes) / 5400
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Minutes) = 10 in the above formula.
Angle(Quadrants) = 10 / 5400
Angle(Quadrants) = 0.00185185185
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 ' is equal to 0.00185185185 quadrant.
The angle is 0.00185185185 quadrant, in quadrants.

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.
Quadrants
Quadrants are a unit of angular measurement representing one-quarter of a full circle, equivalent to 90 degrees or π/2 radians. Quadrants are commonly used in geometry, astronomy, and navigation to describe and analyze positions, angles, and directional orientations within a defined space.
