    Ptolemy's theorem states that the sum of the products of the lengths of opposite sides is equal to the product of the lengths of the diagonals. When those side-lengths are expressed in terms of the sin and cos values shown in the figure above, this yields the angle sum trigonometric identity for sine: sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β.

    Similarly / = is a constructible angle because 12 is a power of two (4) times a Fermat prime (3). But π / 9 = 20 ∘ {\displaystyle \pi /9=20^{\circ }} is not a constructible angle, since 9 = 33 {\displaystyle 9=3\cdot 3} is not the product of distinct Fermat primes as it contains 3 as a factor twice, and neither is π / 7 ≈ 25.714 ∘ ...

    The sinc function as audio, at 2000 Hz (±1.5 seconds around zero) In mathematics, the historical unnormalized sinc function is defined for x0 by ⁡ = ⁡.. Alternatively, the unnormalized sinc function is often called the sampling function, indicated as Sa(x).

    The sine and tangent small-angle approximations are used in relation to the double-slit experiment or a diffraction grating to develop simplified equations like the following, where y is the distance of a fringe from the center of maximum light intensity, m is the order of the fringe, D is the distance between the slits and projection screen ...

    When radians (rad) are employed, the angle is given as the length of the arc of the unit circle subtended by it: the angle that subtends an arc of length 1 on the unit circle is 1 rad (≈ 57.3°), and a complete turn (360°) is an angle of 2 π (≈ 6.28) rad. For real number x, the notation sin x, cos x, etc. refers to the value of the ...

    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 trigonometric functions of θ are, for angles smaller than the right angle:

  9. Law of sines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines

    In trigonometry, the law of sines, sine law, sine formula, or sine rule is an equation relating the lengths of the sides of any triangle to the sines of its angles.According to the law, ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ =, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and α, β, and γ are the opposite angles (see figure 2), while R is the radius of the triangle's circumcircle.
