What is the Formula to convert Sextants to Hexa-Contades?

The formula to convert given angle from Sextants to Hexa-Contades is:

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = Angle(Sextants) × 10

Substitute the given value of angle in sextants, i.e., Angle(Sextants) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the angle in hexa-contades, i.e., Angle(Hexa-Contades).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that an old navigation tool, the sextant, measures angles in 6 sextants.
Convert this measurement from sextants to Hexa-Contades.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to hexa-contades is:

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = Angle(Sextants) × 10

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Angle(Sextants) = 6 in the above formula.

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 6 × 10

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 60

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 60 hexacontade.

The angle is 60 hexacontade, in hexa-contades.

2

Consider that an astronomer divides the night sky into 2 sextants for observation.
Convert this division from sextants to Hexa-Contades.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to hexa-contades is:

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = Angle(Sextants) × 10

Substitution:

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

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 2 × 10

Angle(Hexa-Contades) = 20

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 20 hexacontade.

The angle is 20 hexacontade, in hexa-contades.

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.

Hexa-Contades

Hexa-contades are an ancient unit of angular measurement, originating from Babylonian astronomy, where the circle was divided into 60 parts, with each part further divided into 6 degrees. This system reflects the base-60 numeral system used by the Babylonians and was foundational in early astronomical calculations.
