Convert minute of arc to milliradian

Learn how to convert 1 minute of arc to milliradian step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (m i n u t e o f a r c) = x (m i l l i r a d i a n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(r a d i a n)

Left side: 1.0 (m i n u t e o f a r c) = \frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} (r a d i a n) = \frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} (r a d)

Right side: 1.0 (m i l l i r a d i a n) = 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}} (r a d i a n) = 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}} (r a d)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (m i n u t e o f a r c) = x (m i l l i r a d i a n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} \times (r a d i a n) = x \times 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}} \times (r a d i a n)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} \cdot (r a d) = x \cdot 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (r a d)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} \cdot (r a d) = x \times 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}} \times (r a d)

Conversion Equation

\frac{π}{1.08 \times 10^{4}} = x \times 2.0 \times \frac{π}{6.4 \times 10^{3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{π}{1.08 \times {10^{4}}^{10}} = x \times \frac{π \times 2.0}{6.4 \times 10^{3}}

Simplify

\frac{1.0}{1.08 \times 10.0} = x \times \frac{2.0}{6.4}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{2.0}{6.4} = \frac{1.0}{1.08 \times 10.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{6.4}{2.0})

x \times \frac{2.0}{6.4} \times \frac{6.4}{2.0} = \frac{1.0}{1.08 \times 10.0} \times \frac{6.4}{2.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{2.0 \times 6.4}{6.4 \times 2.0} = \frac{1.0 \times 6.4}{1.08 \times 10.0 \times 2.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{6.4}{1.08 \times 10.0 \times 2.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.2962962963 \approx 2.963 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (m i n u t e o f a r c) \approx 2.963 \times 10^{- 1} (m i l l i r a d i a n)
