Calculate Indicated Angle



Formula

To calculate the indicated angle:

\[ \text{I} = \text{T} + \text{D} \]

What is an Indicated Angle?

An indicated angle is the angle shown on a compass or other navigational instrument, which may differ from the true angle due to magnetic declination. Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north, and it varies depending on your geographic location. By accounting for magnetic declination, you can convert between indicated and true angles to ensure accurate navigation.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{I} = 45 + 10 = 55 \, \text{degrees} \]

The Indicated Angle is 55 degrees.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{I} = 120 - 15 = 105 \, \text{degrees} \]

The Indicated Angle is 105 degrees.
