  2. Nonagonal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonagonal_number

    A nonagonal number, or an enneagonal number, is a figurate number that extends the concept of triangular and square numbers to the nonagon (a nine-sided polygon). [1] However, unlike the triangular and square numbers, the patterns involved in the construction of nonagonal numbers are not rotationally symmetrical.

  3. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    For the spherical case, one can first compute the length of side from the point at α to the ship (i.e. the side opposite to β) via the ASA formula ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ (+) + ⁡ ⁡ (), and insert this into the AAS formula for the right subtriangle that contains the angle α and the sides b and d: ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡. (The planar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figurate_number

    To transform from the n-square (the square of size n) to the (n + 1)-square, one adjoins 2n + 1 elements: one to the end of each row (n elements), one to the end of each column (n elements), and a single one to the corner. For example, when transforming the 7-square to the 8-square, we add 15 elements; these adjunctions are the 8s in the above ...

  5. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    The best known and simplest formula is = /, where b is the length of the base of the triangle, and h is the height or altitude of the triangle. The term "base" denotes any side, and "height" denotes the length of a perpendicular from the vertex opposite the base onto the line containing the base.

    Their Hausdorff dimensions are slightly more difficult to calculate than lower n-flakes because their scale factor is less obvious. However, the Hausdorff dimension is always less than two but no less than one. An interesting n-flake is the ∞-flake, because as the value of n increases, an n-flake's Hausdorff dimension approaches 1, [1]: 7

  7. Polygon triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_triangulation

    A point-set triangulation is a polygon triangulation of the convex hull of a set of points. A Delaunay triangulation is another way to create a triangulation based on a set of points. The associahedron is a polytope whose vertices correspond to the triangulations of a convex polygon. Polygon triangle covering, in which the triangles may overlap.

  8. Nonagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonagon

    In geometry, a nonagon (/ ˈ n ɒ n ə ɡ ɒ n /) or enneagon (/ ˈ ɛ n i ə ɡ ɒ n /) is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon. The name nonagon is a prefix hybrid formation , from Latin ( nonus , "ninth" + gonon ), used equivalently, attested already in the 16th century in French nonogone and in English from the 17th century.

  9. Triangulation (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(surveying)

    Triangulation may be used to find the position of the ship when the positions of A and B are known. An observer at A measures the angle α, while the observer at B measures β. The position of any vertex of a triangle can be calculated if the position of one side, and two angles, are known.
