Converting from Minute of arc (') to Quadrant (quadrant) | Angle

What is Minute of arc (')

Minute of arc ('), also known as arcminute, is a unit of angular measurement equal to one-sixtieth of a degree. It is denoted by the symbol ('). Arcminutes are commonly used in fields such as astronomy, navigation, and geography to measure angles with greater precision than degrees alone.

What is Quadrant (quadrant)

Quadrant (quadrant) is a unit of angular measurement that represents one-fourth of a circle or 90 degrees. It is often used in mathematics and engineering to divide a full rotation into four equal parts. Quadrants are useful for defining angles in Cartesian coordinates and trigonometric functions.

Conversion Formulas
