Which angular measurement system uses 6400 Mills for a full angle?

Sexagesimal System
Grads
Radians
Mills

The correct answer is: Mills

The angular measurement system that uses 6400 mills for a full angle is the mills system. In this context, a complete circle is divided into 6400 equal parts, each part representing one mill. This division allows for very fine angular measurements, where one mill is equivalent to 1/6400 of a full revolution or circle. The mill system is particularly useful in military applications and certain surveying contexts where precise angular measurements are required, facilitating navigation and positioning. By contrast, the other systems listed—sexagesimal (degrees), gradians (grads), and radians—employ different bases for their measurements, making the mills system distinctly defined by its use of 6400 divisions for a full angle.
