    Additionally, an angle that is a rational multiple of radians is constructible if and only if, when it is expressed as / radians, where a and b are relatively prime integers, the prime factorization of the denominator, b, is the product of some power of two and any number of distinct Fermat primes (a Fermat prime is a prime number one greater ...

  4. Steradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steradian

    A solid angle of one steradian subtends a cone aperture of approximately 1.144 radians or 65.54 degrees. In the SI, solid angle is considered to be a dimensionless quantity, the ratio of the area projected onto a surrounding sphere and the square of the sphere's radius. This is the number of square radians in the solid angle.

    If = then ⁡ is 45 degrees or radians. This means that if the real part and complex part are equal then the arctangent will equal π 4 {\textstyle {\frac {\pi }{4}}} . Since the arctangent of one has a very slow convergence rate if we find two complex numbers that when multiplied will result in the same real and imaginary part we will have a ...

    By inputting the appropriate average values for the Sun and the Moon (in relation to Earth), the average solid angle of the Sun is 6.794 × 10 −5 steradians and the average solid angle of the Moon is 6.418 × 10 −5 steradians. In terms of the total celestial sphere, the Sun and the Moon subtend average fractional areas of 0.000 5406 % (5. ...

  7. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  8. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    provided the angle is measured in radians. Angles measured in degrees must first be converted to radians by multiplying them by ⁠ / ⁠. These approximations have a wide range of uses in branches of physics and engineering, including mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, cartography, astronomy, and computer science.

  9. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    Terms with infinitely many sine factors would necessarily be equal to zero. When only finitely many of the angles are nonzero then only finitely many of the terms on the right side are nonzero because all but finitely many sine factors vanish. Furthermore, in each term all but finitely many of the cosine factors are unity.
