  2. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    Since no triangle can have two obtuse angles, γ is an acute angle and the solution γ = arcsin D is unique. If b < c, the angle γ may be acute: γ = arcsin D or obtuse: γ ′ = 180° − γ. The figure on right shows the point C, the side b and the angle γ as the first solution, and the point C ′, side b ′ and the angle γ ′ as the ...

    Point I is on the x axis and on OI, point A is on OA. A green angle COD is represented, and its measure is seen as a green arc, with an arrow of the same color pointing clockwise to indicate its direction, and the text -315° to the left of the arc. Point C is on the same line as I but farther to the right, point D is on the same line as A but ...

  4. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x′, y′) with respect to the new system. [1] In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle θ {\displaystyle \theta } .

  5. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    Two angles that share terminal sides, but differ in size by an integer multiple of a turn, are called coterminal angles. The reference angle (sometimes called related angle) for any angle θ in standard position is the positive acute angle between the terminal side of θ and the x-axis (positive or negative).

  6. Spherical trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry

    The cosine rule may be used to give the angles A, B, and C but, to avoid ambiguities, the half angle formulae are preferred. Case 2: two sides and an included angle given (SAS). The cosine rule gives a and then we are back to Case 1. Case 3: two sides and an opposite angle given (SSA). The sine rule gives C and then we have Case 7. There are ...

  7. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Angle trisection is the construction, using only a straightedge and a compass, of an angle that is one-third of a given arbitrary angle. This is impossible in the general case. For example, the angle 2 π /5 radians (72° = 360°/5) can be trisected, but the angle of π /3 radians (60 ° ) cannot be trisected. [ 8 ]

  8. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system specifies a given point in a plane by using a distance and an angle as its two coordinates. These are the point's distance from a reference point called the pole, and

  9. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    The Euclidean minimum spanning tree of a set of points is a subset of the Delaunay triangulation of the same points, [22] and this can be exploited to compute it efficiently. For modelling terrain or other objects given a point cloud , the Delaunay triangulation gives a nice set of triangles to use as polygons in the model.
