Examples
1
Consider that an old navigation tool, the sextant, measures angles in 6 sextants. Convert this measurement from sextants to Binary Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in sextants is:
Angle(Sextants) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from sextants to binary degrees is:
Angle(Binary Degrees) = Angle(Sextants) × 256 / 6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Sextants) = 6 in the above formula.
Angle(Binary Degrees) = 6 × 256 / 6
Angle(Binary Degrees) = 256
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 256 °.
The angle is 256 °, in binary degrees.
2
Consider that an astronomer divides the night sky into 2 sextants for observation. Convert this division from sextants to Binary Degrees.
Answer:
Given:
The angle in sextants is:
Angle(Sextants) = 2
Formula:
The formula to convert angle from sextants to binary degrees is:
Angle(Binary Degrees) = Angle(Sextants) × 256 / 6
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Angle(Sextants) = 2 in the above formula.
Angle(Binary Degrees) = 2 × 256 / 6
Angle(Binary Degrees) = 85.3333
Final Answer:
Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 85.3333 °.
The angle is 85.3333 °, in binary degrees.

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.
Binary Degrees
Binary degrees, or 'binary angles,' are a unit of angular measurement used in digital systems where angles are represented using binary numbers. This system is particularly useful in computer graphics, robotics, and digital signal processing, where binary calculations are more efficient than traditional degrees.
