  2. Parallel postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate

    Two lines that are parallel to the same line are also parallel to each other. In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (Pythagoras' theorem). [6] [7] The law of cosines, a generalization of Pythagoras' theorem. There is no upper limit to the area of a triangle. (Wallis axiom) [8]

  3. Angle of parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_parallelism

    The angle depends on the segment length a between the right angle and the vertex of the angle of parallelism. Given a point not on a line, drop a perpendicular to the line from the point. Let a be the length of this perpendicular segment, and Π ( a ) {\displaystyle \Pi (a)} be the least angle such that the line drawn through the point does not ...

  4. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    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.

    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.

  6. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

    the distance between the two lines can be found by locating two points (one on each line) that lie on a common perpendicular to the parallel lines and calculating the distance between them. Since the lines have slope m , a common perpendicular would have slope −1/ m and we can take the line with equation y = − x / m as a common perpendicular.

  7. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    Another area formula, for two sides B and C and angle θ, is K = B ⋅ C ⋅ sin ⁡ θ . {\displaystyle K=B\cdot C\cdot \sin \theta .\,} Provided that the parallelogram is not a rhombus, the area can be expressed using sides B and C and angle γ {\displaystyle \gamma } at the intersection of the diagonals: [ 9 ]

  8. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(geometry)

    A transversal that cuts two parallel lines at right angles is called a perpendicular transversal. In this case, all 8 angles are right angles [1] When the lines are parallel, a case that is often considered, a transversal produces several congruent supplementary angles. Some of these angle pairs have specific names and are discussed below ...

    AQA's syllabus is much more famous than Edexcel's, mainly for its controversial decision to award an A* with Distinction (A^), a grade higher than the maximum possible grade in any Level 2 qualification; it is known colloquially as a Super A* or A**. A new Additional Maths course from 2018 is OCR Level 3 FSMQ: Additional Maths (6993). [6]
