Grad
A grad, also known as a gon, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, or 0.9 degrees.
History/Origin
The grad was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system for surveying and military purposes, primarily used in Europe. It was designed to simplify calculations related to angles and bearings.
Current Use
Today, the grad is used mainly in surveying, cartography, and military applications in some countries. It is also employed in certain scientific and engineering contexts where a decimal-based angular unit is preferred.
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts into which a circle is divided by its diameter, often used to measure angles in degrees from 0° to 90° within each part.
History/Origin
The concept of quadrants originates from ancient geometry and astronomy, where dividing circles into four parts helped in navigation and celestial observations. The term has been used since the 16th century in mathematical and navigational contexts.
Current Use
Today, quadrants are primarily used in mathematics, engineering, and navigation to measure and describe angles, especially in coordinate systems and trigonometry, without a specific unit symbol.
