A circle is a simple closed shape in Euclidean geometry. It consists of the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the center. The distance between any of the points and the center is called the radius. Circles are widely used in mathematics and are significant in fields ranging from engineering to astronomy.
Definition of GradA grad, also known as a gon or grade, is a unit of measure for angles, where one grad is 1/400 of a circle. It allows for simple decimal subdivision and is used in various fields, including surveying, for its ease of use with metric measurements. The grad divides a right angle into 100 grads, providing a straightforward correlation with the metric system.
| Circle (degrees) | Grads |
|---|---|
| 0° | 0 g |
| 36° | 40 g |
| 72° | 80 g |
| 108° | 120 g |
| 144° | 160 g |
| 180° | 200 g |
| 216° | 240 g |
| 252° | 280 g |
| 288° | 320 g |
| 324° | 360 g |
| 360° | 400 g |
1 degree = 1.1111 grads
1 grad = 0.9 degrees
Example 1:
Convert 90 degrees to grads:
90 degrees = 90 × 1.1111 grads = 100 grads
Example 2:
Convert 180 degrees to grads:
180 degrees = 180 × 1.1111 grads = 200 grads
Tracing the origins of the Circle to Grad Converter leads us to the adoption of the metric system, which sought to unify measurements with decimal-based units. This innovation provided an alternative to the sexagesimal system, simplifying angle calculations for engineers and surveyors.
Discover how the Circle to Grad Converter serves as an essential tool in real-world applications, paving the way for precise and efficient angular measurements.
Example 1:
To convert 45 degrees to grads:
45 degrees = 45 × 1.1111 = 50 grads
Example 2:
To convert 270 degrees to grads:
270 degrees = 270 × 1.1111 = 300 grads
