  2. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The quantity 206 265 ″ is approximately equal to the number of arcseconds in a circle (1 296 000 ″), divided by 2π, or, the number of arcseconds in 1 radian. The exact formula is = ⁡ (″) and the above approximation follows when tan X is replaced by X.

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

    The parameter of each is a floating point value, specifying the angle in radians. Each function returns the same data type as it accepts. Many other trigonometric functions are also defined in math.h, such as for cosine, arc sine, and hyperbolic sine (sinh). Similarly, Python defines math.sin(x) and math.cos(x) within the built-in math module.

    In this right triangle, denoting the measure of angle BAC as A: sin A = ⁠ a / c ⁠; cos A = ⁠ b / c ⁠; tan A = ⁠ a / b ⁠. Plot of the six trigonometric functions, the unit circle, and a line for the angle θ = 0.7 radians. The points labeled 1, Sec(θ), Csc(θ) represent the length of the line segment from the origin to that point.

  6. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    As discussed in § Constructibility, only certain angles that are rational multiples of radians have trigonometric values that can be expressed with square roots. The angle 1°, being π / 180 = π / ( 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ) {\displaystyle \pi /180=\pi /(2^{2}\cdot 3^{2}\cdot 5)} radians, has a repeated factor of 3 in the denominator and therefore ...

    The constants a, b, c, p, q and r (only five of them are independent) can be determined by assuming that the formula must be exactly valid when x = 0, π/6, π/2, π, and further assuming that it has to satisfy the property that sin(x) = sin(π − x). [2] [3] This procedure produces the formula expressed using radian measure of angles.

    The U.S. military says a Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously close to an Air Force plane over the South China Sea, forcing the American pilot to maneuver to avoid a collision. U.S. Indo-Pacific ...

    Two angles whose sum is π/2 radians (90 degrees) are complementary. In the diagram, the angles at vertices A and B are complementary, so we can exchange a and b, and change θ to π/2 − θ, obtaining:
