What is the formula to convert from Gradians to Sextants?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Gradians to the unit of Sextants is:

Angle_(Sextants) = Angle_(Gradians) × 3 / 200

Gradians unit in Angle

Gradians, also known as gons or grades, divide a circle into 400 equal parts, with each part representing one gradian. This unit is mainly used in surveying and civil engineering, where it provides a straightforward way to work with angles that are multiples of 10 or 100. Gradians offer an alternative to degrees and radians, especially in applications that require precise angular measurements.

Sextants unit in Angle

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement that divides a circle into six equal parts, with each sextant corresponding to 60 degrees. This unit is traditionally used in navigation, particularly in the context of sextants, the instruments used to measure the angle between a celestial object and the horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about "Gradians ➜ Sextants" Conversion

1. What is the conversion formula from Gradians to Sextants?

The formula to convert Gradians to Sextants in Angle is:

Gradians * 3 / 200

2. How do I convert from Gradians to Sextants given a value in Gradians units?

To convert Angle from Gradians to Sextants, you can use the following formula:

Gradians * 3 / 200
