first of all i want to know whats mean by gon
2- i need to convert 22g 68c 33cc into degrees minutes seconds and plz explain to me how did u convert it and whats c and whats cc
and at last thx for this forum who helped me alot last year

Not sure about the second. What is the context?Quote:

Gradian
A unit of angular measure in which the angle of an entire circle is 400 gradians. A right angle is therefore 100 gradians. A gradian is sometimes also called a gon or a grade.
Almost all calculators have a key identified as [DRG].
[Degrees_Radians_Grads]. You can switch very quickly between the units.
A grad (or gon) is a decimal form for angular measure.
A right angle, or 1/4 of a circle, is 90 degrees.
90 degress isradians.
A right angle, or 1/4 of a circle, is 100 grads.
1 grad = 0.01 of a right angle;
1 metric minute = 1c = 0.01g ( 1/100 of a grad )
1 metric second = 1cc = 0.01c ( 1/100 of a metric minute, or 1/10000 of a grad)
22.6833 grads =Quote:
convert 22g 68c 33cc into degrees minutes seconds
0.226833 of a quarter circle
Simply convert the decimal-degrees into the degrees-minutes-seconds required.
Hope that helps.
.
NOTE: c & cc were originally defined as circular measure. It could be stated as 1.57rad for 1.57 radians or 1.57c , meaning circular measure. The c & cc gradually became associated with the 0.01 grad & 0.0001 grad.
