  2. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

  3. Pi is 3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_is_3

    Pi is 3 is a misunderstanding that the Japanese public believed that, due to the revision of the Japanese Curriculum guideline in 2002, the approximate value of pi (π), which had previously been taught as 3.14, is now taught as 3 in arithmetic education.

  4. Radian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian

    A similar calculation using the area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r 2 gives 1 radian as 1 m 2 /m 2 = 1. [10] The key fact is that the radian is a dimensionless unit equal to 1. In SI 2019, the SI radian is defined accordingly as 1 rad = 1. [11] It is a long-established practice in mathematics and across all areas of science to make use of rad ...

  5. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [2] For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3 mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors.

    8×8×4. 3 bits of R and G, 2 bits of B, the correct value can be computed from a color without using multiplication. Used, among others, in the MSX2 system series of computers. a 6×7×6 color cube, leaving 4 colors for a programmable palette or grays. a 6×8×5 cube, leaving 16 colors for a programmable palette or grays.

  7. Turn (angle) - Wikipedia

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

    The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle—the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians.

  8. Dividing a square into similar rectangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_square_into...

    The solution in which the three rectangles are all of different sizes and where they have aspect ratio ρ 2, where ρ is the plastic ratio. The fact that a rectangle of aspect ratio ρ 2 can be used for dissections of a square into similar rectangles is equivalent to an algebraic property of the number ρ 2 related to the Routh–Hurwitz ...

  9. Order-8 triangular tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order-8_triangular_tiling

    A larger subgroup is constructed [(4,4,4 *)], index 8, as (2*2222) with gyration points removed, becomes (*22222222). The symmetry can be doubled to 842 symmetry by adding a bisecting mirror across the fundamental domains.
