What are Degree and Grad

Definition of Degree

A degree is a unit of measurement for angles, where one degree represents 1/360th of a full circle. It's denoted by the symbol ° and is widely used in fields such as mathematics, engineering, and geography.

Definition of Grad

A grad, also known as a gon or grade, is a unit of angle measurement in which one grad is 1/400th of a full circle. It's particularly used in surveying and is convenient for metric system alignment.

Conversion of Degree to Grad

1 Right Angle = 100 Grads
1 Degree = 1.1111 Grads

Example 1:
Convert 90° (a right angle) to grads:
90° = 100g

Example 2:
Convert 45° to grads:
45° = 45 × 1.1111g = 50g

History of Degree and Grad

The concept of measuring angles in grads originated from the metric system, offering a unit that aligns with the decimalized system. It divides a right angle into 100 equal parts, making calculations more straightforward for certain applications, especially in land surveying.
