What is the formula to convert from Sextants to Gradians?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

The formula to convert Sextants to Gradians in Angle is:

Sextants * 200 / 3

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

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