## Overview

Convert angles from degrees to gradians instantly with customizable decimal precision. This tool provides accurate mathematical conversions for surveying, civil engineering, and geometry calculations, outputting results in a clean JSON format.

## Inputs

- **Degrees** (text): e.g. 90
- **Decimal Precision** (number)

## When to use

- When converting angular measurements for civil engineering projects and topographic maps.
- When working on surveying tasks that require angles in gradians (gon) instead of standard degrees.
- When you need to quickly convert degrees to gradians with specific decimal precision up to 12 places.

## How it works

- Enter the angle value in degrees in the input field.
- Adjust the decimal precision value (from 0 to 12) to control the output accuracy.
- The tool calculates the conversion using the formula: Gradians = Degrees * (200 / 180).
- View the result instantly in structured JSON format containing both the input degrees and converted gradians.

## Use cases

- Converting standard 90-degree right angles to 100-gradian values for surveying documentation.
- Standardizing angular datasets from degrees to gon for European geodetic systems.
- Verifying academic geometry homework and trigonometric calculations.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the conversion formula from degrees to gradians?

Gradians equal degrees multiplied by 1.111111 (or 200/180).

### What is a gradian?

A gradian (also known as gon or grade) is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a turn.

### Can I specify the decimal precision of the output?

Yes, you can set the decimal precision anywhere from 0 to 12 decimal places.

### What is the default precision if not specified?

The default decimal precision is 6 decimal places.

### Does this tool support negative degree values?

Yes, you can input negative degree values to get the corresponding negative gradian values.
