What is the Formula to convert Sextants to π Radians?

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

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

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 π radians, i.e., Angle(π Radians).

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 π Radians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to π radians is:

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

Substitution:

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

Angle(π Radians) = 6 / 3

Angle(π Radians) = 2

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 2 π radians.

The angle is 2 π radians, in π radians.

2

Consider that an astronomer divides the night sky into 2 sextants for observation.
Convert this division from sextants to π Radians.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to π radians is:

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

Substitution:

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

Angle(π Radians) = 2 / 3

Angle(π Radians) = 0.6667

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 0.6667 π radians.

The angle is 0.6667 π radians, in π radians.

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.

π Radians

π radians represent a half-circle or 180 degrees. This unit is fundamental in mathematics, particularly in trigonometry and calculus, where the relationship between angles and the properties of circles is central to many concepts. The use of π radians simplifies the representation of angles and the formulation of trigonometric functions.
