  2. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    In astronomy, the angular size or angle subtended by the image of a distant object is often only a few arcseconds (denoted by the symbol ″), so it is well suited to the small angle approximation. [6] The linear size (D) is related to the angular size (X) and the distance from the observer (d) by the simple formula:

  3. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    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. By symmetry, the bisected side is half of the side of the equilateral triangle, so one concludes sin ⁡ ( 30 ∘ ) = 1 / 2 {\displaystyle \sin(30^{\circ ...

  4. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    To find an unknown angle, the law of cosines is safer than the law of sines. The reason is that the value of sine for the angle of the triangle does not uniquely determine this angle. For example, if sin β = 0.5, the angle β can equal either 30° or 150°. Using the law of cosines avoids this problem: within the interval from 0° to 180° the ...

    Let PQ be a line perpendicular to line OQ defined by angle , drawn from point Q on this line to point P. OQP is a right angle. Let QA be a perpendicular from point A on the x -axis to Q and PB be a perpendicular from point B on the x -axis to P. ∴ {\displaystyle \therefore } OAQ and OBP are right angles.

    The problem of calculating angle is a standard application of Hansen's resection. Such calculations can establish that ∠ B E F {\displaystyle \angle {BEF}} is within any desired precision of 30 ∘ {\displaystyle 30^{\circ }} , but being of only finite precision, always leave doubt about the exact value.

  8. Exterior angle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_angle_theorem

    The high school exterior angle theorem (HSEAT) says that the size of an exterior angle at a vertex of a triangle equals the sum of the sizes of the interior angles at the other two vertices of the triangle (remote interior angles). So, in the picture, the size of angle ACD equals the size of angle ABC plus the size of angle CAB.
