    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.

    For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number, except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°). Referring to the diagram at the right, the six ...

    The basic quantities describing a sphere (meaning a 2-sphere, a 2-dimensional surface inside 3-dimensional space) will be denoted by the following variables r {\displaystyle r} is the radius, C = 2 π r {\displaystyle C=2\pi r} is the circumference (the length of any one of its great circles ),

  5. Gradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradian

    In trigonometry, the gradian – also known as the gon (from Ancient Greek γωνία (gōnía) 'angle'), grad, or grade [1] – is a unit of measurement of an angle, defined as one-hundredth of the right angle; in other words, 100 gradians is equal to 90 degrees.

  6. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    The measure of ∠AOB, where O is the center of the circle, is 2α. The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2θ that intercepts the same arc on the circle. Therefore, the angle does not change as its vertex is moved to different positions on the circle.

  7. Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

    The angle between the horizontal line and the shown diagonal is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b). This is a geometric way to prove the particular tangent half-angle formula that says tan ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) = (sin a + sin b) / (cos a + cos b). The formulae sin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) and cos ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (a + b) are the ratios of the actual distances to ...

  8. Right angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

    In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees or ⁠ / 2 ⁠ radians [1] corresponding to a quarter turn. [2] If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. [ 3 ]

  9. Jacobi elliptic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_elliptic_functions

    Plot of the Jacobi hyperbola (x 2 + y 2 /b 2 = 1, b imaginary) and the twelve Jacobi Elliptic functions pq(u,m) for particular values of angle φ and parameter b. The solid curve is the hyperbola, with m = 1 − 1/b 2 and u = F(φ,m) where F(⋅,⋅) is the elliptic integral of the first kind. The dotted curve is the unit circle.
