Converting from Quadrant (quadrant) to Sextant (sextant) | Angle

What is Quadrant (quadrant)

In trigonometry, a quadrant is a region bounded by two perpendicular rays depicted on a coordinate plane. It covers 90 degrees of an angle.

What is Sextant (sextant)

A sextant is an angular measurement unit that is equal to one-sixth of a circle or 60 degrees. It is commonly used in navigation to determine the angle between celestial bodies and the horizon.
