How to use this Radians to Sextants Converter 🤔

Follow these steps to convert given angle from the units of Radians to the units of Sextants.

  1. Enter the input Radians value in the text field.
  2. The calculator converts the given Radians into Sextants in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Sextants label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Sextants value is re-calculated, just like that.
  3. You may copy the resulting Sextants value using the Copy button.
  4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
  5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Radians to Sextants?

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

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Radians) × 3 / π

Substitute the given value of angle in radians, i.e., Angle(Radians) 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 robotic arm rotates by 1.5 radians to position an object accurately.
Convert this angle from radians to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in radians is:

Angle(Radians) = 1.5

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from radians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Radians) × 3 / π

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Radians) = 1.5 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 1.5 × 3 / 3.14159265359

Angle(Sextants) = 1.4324

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1.5 rad is equal to 1.4324 sextant.

The angle is 1.4324 sextant, in sextants.

2

Consider that a satellite dish adjusts by 0.75 radians to align with a signal.
Convert this angle from radians to Sextants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in radians is:

Angle(Radians) = 0.75

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from radians to sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = Angle(Radians) × 3 / π

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Radians) = 0.75 in the above formula.

Angle(Sextants) = 0.75 × 3 / 3.14159265359

Angle(Sextants) = 0.7162

Final Answer:

Therefore, 0.75 rad is equal to 0.7162 sextant.

The angle is 0.7162 sextant, in sextants.

Radians

Radians are a fundamental unit of angular measurement in the International System of Units (SI). One radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. Radians are essential in mathematics and physics, particularly in calculus and trigonometry, where they simplify equations and allow for the natural expression of rotational and periodic phenomena.

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.
