What is the Formula to convert Sextants to Quadrants?

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

Angle(Quadrants) = Angle(Sextants) / 1.5

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 quadrants, i.e., Angle(Quadrants).

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 Quadrants.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to quadrants is:

Angle(Quadrants) = Angle(Sextants) / 1.5

Substitution:

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

Angle(Quadrants) = 6 / 1.5

Angle(Quadrants) = 4

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 4 quadrant.

The angle is 4 quadrant, in quadrants.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to quadrants is:

Angle(Quadrants) = Angle(Sextants) / 1.5

Substitution:

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

Angle(Quadrants) = 2 / 1.5

Angle(Quadrants) = 1.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 1.3333 quadrant.

The angle is 1.3333 quadrant, in quadrants.

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.

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.
