  2. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    This formula is the law of cosines, sometimes called the generalized Pythagorean theorem. [37] From this result, for the case where the radii to the two locations are at right angles, the enclosed angle Δ θ = π /2, and the form corresponding to Pythagoras' theorem is regained: s 2 = r 1 2 + r 2 2 . {\displaystyle s^{2}=r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}.}

  3. Pythagorean triple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple

    A plot of triples generated by Euclid's formula maps out part of the z 2 = x 2 + y 2 cone. A constant m or n traces out part of a parabola on the cone. Euclid's formula [3] is a fundamental formula for generating Pythagorean triples given an arbitrary pair of integers m and n with m > n > 0. The formula states that the integers

    Successive paper sizes in the series (A1, A2, A3, etc.) are defined by halving the area of the preceding paper size and rounding down, so that the long side of A(n + 1) is the same length as the short side of An. Hence, each next size is nearly exactly half the area of the prior size. So, an A1 page can fit two A2 pages inside the same area.

  5. Law of cosines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cosines

    Fig. 1 – A triangle. The angles α (or A), β (or B), and γ (or C) are respectively opposite the sides a, b, and c.. In trigonometry, the law of cosines (also known as the cosine formula or cosine rule) relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles.

  6. Paper size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size

    ISO 5457, last updated in 1999, [17] introduces elongated sizes that are formed by a combination of the dimensions of the short side of an A-size (e.g. A2) with the dimensions of the long side of another larger A-size (e.g. A0). The result is a new size, for example with the abbreviation A2.0 we would have a 420 × 1189 mm size.

  7. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    One structure is the "interpenetrating primitive cubic" structure, also called a "caesium chloride" or B2 structure. This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same. However, the caesium chloride structure has a basis composed of two different atomic species.

  8. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440).

  9. Thromboxane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboxane

    Thromboxane A2 Thromboxane B2. Thromboxane is a member of the family of lipids known as eicosanoids. The two major thromboxanes are thromboxane A2 and thromboxane B2. The distinguishing feature of thromboxanes is a 6-membered ether-containing ring. Thromboxane is named for its role in blood clot formation .
