- Type any value. Enter a number in any angle field. All 6 units update simultaneously with no button to press.
- Degrees to radians. Programming languages like Python, JavaScript, and C++ use radians in their trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan). If your angle is in degrees, type it in the Degree field and read the radian equivalent.
- Gradians. Used in surveying and some European engineering fields. A full circle is 400 gradians, so a right angle is exactly 100 gradians.
- Arcminutes and arcseconds. Used in astronomy, navigation (latitude and longitude), and optics. 1 degree = 60 arcminutes = 3,600 arcseconds. GPS coordinates can be expressed in degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS) format.
Example: a 45-degree angle. Type 45 in the Degree field to see: 0.785398 radians, 50 gradians, 2,700 arcminutes, 162,000 arcseconds, 0.125 turns.
