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 Right Angles.

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to right angles is:

Angle(Right Angles) = Angle(Sextants) / 1.5

Substitution:

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

Angle(Right Angles) = 6 / 1.5

Angle(Right Angles) = 4

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 sextant is equal to 4 right angle.

The angle is 4 right angle, in right angles.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The angle in sextants is:

Angle(Sextants) = 2

Formula:

The formula to convert angle from sextants to right angles is:

Angle(Right Angles) = Angle(Sextants) / 1.5

Substitution:

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

Angle(Right Angles) = 2 / 1.5

Angle(Right Angles) = 1.3333

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 sextant is equal to 1.3333 right angle.

The angle is 1.3333 right angle, in right angles.

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.

Right Angles

Right angles are a fundamental unit of angular measurement, representing 90 degrees or one-quarter of a full circle. Right angles are central to geometry, trigonometry, and many practical fields, including construction, engineering, and design, where perpendicularity and orthogonality are key principles.
