  2. Degree (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

    A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit—the SI unit of angular measure is the radian—but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]

  3. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    So a standard 50 mm lens for 35 mm photography acts like a 50 mm standard "film" lens even on a professional digital SLR, but would act closer to a 75 mm (1.5×50 mm Nikon) or 80 mm lens (1.6×50mm Canon) on many mid-market DSLRs, and the 40-degree angle of view of a standard 50 mm lens on a film camera is equivalent to a 28–35 mm lens on ...

  4. Right angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

    In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees or ⁠ / 2 ⁠ radians [1] corresponding to a quarter turn. [2] If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. [3]

  5. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    The values of sine and cosine of 30 and 60 degrees are derived by analysis of the equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained.

  6. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    One could say, "The Moon's diameter subtends an angle of half a degree." The small-angle formula can convert such an angular measurement into a distance/size ratio. Other astronomical approximations include: 0.5° is the approximate diameter of the Sun and of the Moon as viewed from Earth. 1° is the approximate width of the little finger at ...

  7. Optimum HDTV viewing distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance

    While THX still contends that the optimum viewing distance is a position where the display occupies a 40-degree view angle for the viewer, they too provide a range recommendation. The minimum viewing distance is set to approximate a 40-degree view angle, and the maximum viewing distance is set to approximate 28 degrees. [26]

  8. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

  9. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    FOV both eyes Vertical FOV Angle of view can be measured horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The field of view (FOV) is the angular extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment. In the case of optical instruments or sensors, it is a solid angle through which a detector is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
