Examples

1

Consider that a map is divided into 4 quadrants for detailed navigation.
Convert this section from quadrants to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in quadrants is:

Angle(Quadrants) = 1

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from quadrants to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Quadrants) × 1.5

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Quadrants) = 1 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 1 × 1.5

Angle(Sextants) = 1.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1 quadrant is equal to 1.5 sextant.

The angle is 1.5 sextant, in sextants.

2

Consider that a pilot uses 2 quadrants to determine the aircraft's position.
Convert this section from quadrants to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in quadrants is:

Angle(Quadrants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from quadrants to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Quadrants) × 1.5

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Quadrants) = 2 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 2 × 1.5

Angle(Sextants) = 3

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 quadrant is equal to 3 sextant.

The angle is 3 sextant, in sextants.

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.

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.
