What is the formula to convert from Compass Points to Radians?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Compass Points to the unit of Radians is:

Angle_(Radians) = Angle_{(Compass Points)} × π / 16

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

Radians unit in Angle

Radians are the standard unit of angular measure in mathematics and science, defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. One full circle is 2π radians, making radians a natural and essential unit for trigonometric calculations and mathematical analysis, particularly in calculus and engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Compass Points ➜ Radians" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Compass Points to Radians?

The formula to convert Compass Points to Radians in Angle is:

Compass Points * π / 16

2. How do I convert from Compass Points to Radians given a value in Compass Points units?

To convert Angle from Compass Points to Radians, you can use the following formula:

Compass Points * π / 16

For example, if you have a value in Compass Points, you substitute that value in place of Compass Points in the above formula, and solve the mathematical expression to get the equivalent value in Radians.
