How to Convert Gons to Degrees
1 gons = 0.9 deg
1 deg = 1.111111111111111 gons
Example: convert 10 gons to deg: 10 gons = 10 × 0.9 gons = 9 gons
Gons
Definition: Gons are equivalent to gradians, where a right angle equals 100 gons, and a full rotation equals 400 gons.
History: Gons, like gradians, were introduced as part of the metric system to create a more decimal-friendly angular measurement. Although widely used in European surveying, the system never fully replaced degrees and radians in broader scientific and engineering fields.
Degrees
Definition: A degree (°) is a unit of angular measurement, with a full rotation equaling 360 degrees. Since one complete turn corresponds to 2π radians, a single degree is equal to π/180 radians. While not an SI (International System of Units) unit, the degree is officially recognized in the SI brochure.
History: The exact origin of the degree as a unit of rotation and angles remains uncertain. One theory suggests that 360 was chosen for its high divisibility, featuring 24 divisors and being divisible by every number from 1 to 10, except 7. This makes 360 a highly practical choice for measuring angles.
