Grad

Definition

Grad (also called gon) is a unit of angle measurement where a full circle is divided into 400 grads instead of 360 degrees. One grad equals 0.9 degrees.

History/Origin

The grad was introduced in France during the French Revolution as part of the metric system. It was designed to provide a decimal-based angular measurement system.

Current Use

Grads are used in surveying, some engineering applications, and in countries that adopted the metric system for angular measurements.

Right Angle

right angle

Definition

Right angle is a unit of angle measurement equal to 90 degrees or one-quarter of a full circle. It represents the angle formed by two perpendicular lines.

History/Origin

The right angle has been a fundamental concept in geometry since ancient times, representing perpendicularity.

Current Use

Right angles are used in geometry, construction, engineering, and architectural design.
