Discover the ease of converting right angles to gons with Newtum's innovative 'Deg to Gon' online tool, designed to satisfy your precise conversion needs.
A degree, denoted by the symbol °, is a measure of plane angle representing 1/360 of a full rotation or circle. The degree is widely used in the fields of geometry, navigation, and many practical applications. Its adoption in various systems and the common understanding of its partition of a circle makes it a fundamental unit of angular measurement.
Definition of GonA gon, also known as a grad or grade, is a unit of measurement for angles, where one gon is defined as 1/400 of a full circle. By this definition, a right angle is 100 gons. The gon is particularly useful in fields such as civil engineering, surveying, and navigation, where angular measurements are frequently required.
Right Angle (Degrees) | Gons |
---|---|
5° | 5.5556 gon |
10° | 11.1111 gon |
15° | 16.6667 gon |
20° | 22.2222 gon |
25° | 27.7778 gon |
30° | 33.3333 gon |
35° | 38.8889 gon |
40° | 44.4444 gon |
45° | 50 gon |
50° | 55.5556 gon |
Example 1:
Convert 45° to gons:
45° = 50 gons
Example 2:
Convert 90° to gons:
90° = 100 gons
The Right Angle to Gon Converter traces its origin to the need for simple and efficient tools for converting degrees, commonly used in various fields, to gons, which are preferred in surveying and civil engineering. Such converters facilitate the seamless transition between these units of angular measurement.
Uncover the practical applications of converting right angles to gons that are integral to various professional disciplines.
Example 1: To convert a 45° right angle to gons, the calculation is 45° x (400/360) = 50 gons.
Example 2: For a 90° angle, the conversion to gons would be 90° x (400/360) = 100 gons.
