Pentagram Meaning
In Euclidean geometry, Pentagram is a polygon-shaped like a five-pointed star. The five-pointed pentagram star has been popular in human history for many years. It is sometimes also known as a star –Pentagram because of its shape and the pentagon in its center, which also describes the origin of the word pentagram.
In the past, the symbol of pentagram has also been used as a holy sign that denoted goodness, and for protection against evil. Refer below to the pentagram star.
Use and Significance of Pentagram
The pentagram with a pentagon in the center has its own significance for ages. The shape is significant in many cultures. While some believe that its five edges denote a mystical pentagram sign that tells us about the 5 elements of nature i.e. air, water, fire, earth, and spirit which allows us to attain greater power, health, happiness, wisdom, and prosperity. Others say that the pentagram triangle denotes the five senses of hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste.
Construct a Regular Pentagram
There are various ways in which a regular pentagram can be constructed. However, let's check for the two most common and interesting ones i.e.;
Inside a Regular Pentagon
You can construct a regular pentagram inside a regular pentagon by constructing its diagonals. To construct a pentagram inside a Pentagon, draw 2 diagonals each from all the five vertices of the pentagon. And look, your pentagram is ready!
Now, let us check how to construct a pentagram outside a regular pentagon
Outside a Regular Pentagon
You can also construct a regular pentagram outside a regular pentagon by stretching out its five sides. In order to draw a Pentagram outside a pentagon, extend each side of the pentagon in a way that they bisect each other as shown in the image.
And guess what you make a pentagram again!
Golden Ratios in Pentagram
The pentagram consists of a unique number hidden inside. This special number is known as the Golden Ratio, which equals to about 1.618.
M/n = 1.618...
N/o = 1.618...
O/p = 1.618...
When you draw this, you will obtain the 4 lengths measuring as below:
m = 216,
n = 133,
o = 82,
p = 51.
Having said that, let's check to see what the ratios are:
216 ÷ 133 = 1.624...
133 ÷ 82 = 1.622...
82 ÷ 51 = 1.608...
Idea is to use Golden Ratio between m/n, n/o, and o/p which is equivalent to around 1.618.
Inner side length d is given so
o = 1.618 * p
n = 1.618 * o
m = 1.618 * n
MN, NO and OP are equals (both side of regular pentagram)
So MN = NO = OP = o and OP is given by p.
The Pentacle
Do you know the pentacle's meaning? A pentagram is also known in the name of a pentacle which is typically a representative of a magical object or a talisman. This is disc-shaped and inscribed with a pentagram, also signifying the element of earth. The pentagram is also spoken about with reference to pentacle protection given its significance as a talisman object.

Angle between Two Straight Lines
We will learn how to find the angle between two straight lines.
The angle θ between the lines having slope m\(_{1}\) and m\(_{2}\)
is given by tan θ = ± \(\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{1 + m_{1} m_{2}}\)
Let the equations of the straight lines AB and CD are y = m\(_{1}\) x + c\(_{1}\) and y = m\(_{2}\) x + c\(_{2}\) respectively intersect at a point P and make angles θ1 and θ2 respectively with the positive direction of x-axis.
Let ∠APC = θ is angle between the given lines AB and CD.
Clearly, the slope of the line AB and CD are m\(_{1}\) and m\(_{2}\) respectively.
(i) The angle between the lines AB and CD is
acute or obtuse according as the value of \(\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{1 +
m_{1} m_{2}}\) is positive or negative.
(ii) The angle
between two intersecting straight lines means the measure of the acute angle
between the lines.
(iii) The formula tan θ = ± \(\frac{m_{2}
- m_{1}}{1 + m_{1} m_{2}}\) cannot be used to find the angle between the lines
AB and CD, if AB or CD is
parallel to y-axis. Since the slope of the line parallel to y-axis is indeterminate.
Solved examples to find the angle

Side lengths of an acute triangle are #sqrtn#, #sqrt(n+1)#, and #sqrt(n+2)#. How do you find #n#?
1 Answer
If the triangle is a right triangle then square of the largest side is equal to the sum of the squares of smaller sides. But the triangle is acute angled one. So square of the largest side is less than the sum of the squares of smaller sides . Hence | 677.169 | 1 |
Regular tilings of the plane by two or more convex regular Polygons such that the same
Polygons in the same order surround each Vertex are called semiregular
tilings. In the plane, there are eight such tessellations, illustrated below. | 677.169 | 1 |
Polytope
In geometrypolytope means, first, the generalization to any dimension of polygon in two dimensions, and polyhedron in three dimensions
One special kind of polytope is the convex hull of a finite set of points. Roughly speaking this is the set of all possible weighted averages, with weights going from zero to one, of the points. These points turn out to be the vertices of their convex hull. When the points are in general position (are affinely independent, i.e., no s-plane contains more than s + 1 of them), this defines an r-simplex (where r is the number of points).
Now given any convex hull in r-dimensional space (but not in any (r-1)-plane, say) we can take linearly independent subsets of the vertices, and define r-simplexes with them. In fact you can choose several simplexes in this way such that their union as sets is the original hull, and the intersection of any two is either empty or an s-simplex (for some s < r).
For example, in the plane a square (convex hull of its corners) is the union of the two triangles (2-simplexes), defined by a diagonal 1-simplex which is their intersection.
In general, the definition (attributed to Alexandrov)is that an r-polytope is defined as a set with an r-simplicial decomposition'. It is a union of s-simplices for values of s with s at most r, that is closed under intersection, and such that the only time that one of simplices is contained in another is as a face.
What does this let us build? Let's start with 1-polytopes. Then we have the line segment, of course, and anything that you can get by joining line segments end-to-end:
*----* *----* *----* *-* *----*----*
| | | X |
* *----* *-* *
If two segments meet at each vertex (so not the case for the final one), we get a topological curve, called a polygonal curve. You can categorize these as open or closed, depending on whether the ends match up, and as simple or complex, depending on whether they intersect themselves. Closed polygonal curves are called polygons.
Simple polygons in the plane are Jordan curvess: they have an interior that is a topological disk. And also a 2-polytope (as you can see in the third example above), and these are often treated interchangeably with their boundary, the word polygon referring to either.
Now we can rinse and repeat! Joining polygons along edges (1-faces) gives you a polyhedral surface, called a skew polygon when open and a polyhedron when closed. Simple polyhedra are interchangeable with their interiors, which are 3-polytopes that can be used to build 4-dimensional forms (sometimes called polychora), and so on to higher polytopes.

Before exploring adaptations of Euclid's strategy to figures other than squares, let's recall his proof. We repeat Figure 1 for convenience.
Figure 1 (repeated from the preceding page): The Theorem of Pythagoras from Euclid's Elements with the "Pythagorean cut," line segment LK, shown in red.
Euclid showed how to partition the largest square in Figure 1, above, into two rectangles so that each rectangle would have the same area as one of the two smaller squares. The proof is essentially this. Drop a perpendicular from B to JH hitting JH at K and AC at L and draw construction lines DC and BJ (see Figure 1). Then triangle DAC is congruent to triangle BAJ by SAS and so the two triangles have the same area. Moreover, the area of triangle DAC is half the area of square BADE since they share the same base DA and have the same altitude AB. Likewise, the area of triangle BAJ is half the area of rectangle AJKL since they share the same base AJ and have the same altitude AL. Thus, the area of square BADE must be the same as the area of rectangle AJKL. Similarly, the area of square CGFB equals the area of rectangle LKHC based on congruent triangles ACG and BCH. So, segment BK partitions, or cuts, the largest square into two rectangles, each of which has area equal to the area of one of the other two squares. We say that segment LK is the "Pythagorean cut" for square AJHC. The Pythagorean cut, separating the largest square into two figures each of which has area equal to one of the two smaller squares, is shown in red in Figure 1. | 677.169 | 1 |

Hello @Henry
To calculate the leg coordinates for your PiCrawler robot to stand at 110mm in height,
I think you can use inverse kinematics. It can be used to find out the joint angles.
Before using the trigonometric function, you can set your robot's coordination system.
Then calculate the angles required for each joint.
Then, using the lengths of the leg segments and the necessary height (110mm), form right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric identities to solve for x, y, and z coordinates. | 677.169 | 1 |
How Does Latitude Affect the Compass Angle of Sunrise?
In summary, the thread discussed the relationship between latitude and the compass angle at which the sun rises each morning. A diagram was provided to illustrate this relationship and it was noted that the sun rises more northerly at higher latitudes due to parallel transport. The goal was to understand this relationship mathematically and calculate the sun's compass angle for any latitude. A novice in differential geometry offered some insights and discussed the use of parametrization and vector transformation to calculate the angle.
A recent thread ( by DaveC426913 got me thinking about differential geometry. The compass angle at which the sun rises each morning varies with latitude, but not linearly; it actually seems to be a rather complicated relationship. Let's look at a diagram:
This diagram is drawn above the north pole. It is summer in the northern hemisphere, and the north pole experiences continual sunlight.
Consider two points at dawn, along the terminator. Point A is on the equator. The due-east and normal (altitude) vectors are drawn in black, and the due-north vector points directly out of the page.
Point B is at about 60 degrees north latitude. The due-east, due-north, and normal vectors are also drawn in black. At each point, a vector pointing directly to the sun (assumed to be at infinite distance) is drawn in red.
It can be easily seen that the sun rises more northerly at higher latitudes. That fact that can be understood easily by considering parallel transport. If the vector triple at point A were slid (parallel-transported) from point A to the north pole via a line of longitude, the sun's compass position would vary directly with the latitude -- it'd be an easy problem.
On the other hand, if the vector triple at point A is parallel-transported along the terminator, its rotation is complicated. This is because the terminator is not a geodesic (great circle), while the line of longitude is.
I'd like to figure out how to understand this more deeply. I'd like to go from drawing a pretty picture to actually understanding the mathematics -- how to calculate the sunrises's compass angle on the horizon for any latitude. The summer solstice can be assumed.
I'm basically a novice when it comes to differential geometry, so I don't think that I can help, but I will try.
The metric of a 2-sphere is given by:
[tex] ds^2=R^2(d\theta^2+\sin^2 \theta d\phi^2)[/tex]
Denote the tangent space at point A with [itex]V_a[/itex] and the tangent vector of the equator curve with [itex]A^\mu[/itex]. Similary denote the tangent space at B with [itex]V_b[/itex] and the parallely transported [itex]A^\mu[/itex] with [itex]B^\mu[/itex].
There exists a scalar field covering the entire area of the sphere through which we can define functions (with two variables - [itex]\theta[/itex] and [itex]\phi[/itex]). These will be important as through them we can parametarise curves. The equator curve can parametarized by the function [itex] a(\theta,\phi) [/itex] by setting [itex]\theta=0[/itex]. The terminator curve can also be parametarised this way. Since I don't know what that is I don't know how to parametarise it. Anyway, let's denote it's parametar by [itex] c(\theta,\phi) [/itex].
[itex]A^\mu[/itex] can be defined as
[tex] A^\mu=\frac{dx^\mu}{da} [/tex]
Now we wish to parallely transport [itex]A[/itex] to point B. Introduce it's dual [itex]A_\mu[/itex].
Since we know that this particular 2-sphere is embedded in Euclidian three-dimensional space we can find the coordinates of the basis of any point, in three-dimensional space, by imposing that they be orthonomal to the position vector, [itex] \vec{r}[/itex], which has it's origin at the center of the Earth.
The angle between [itex]S[/itex] and [itex]B[/itex] at [itex]V_b[/itex] can be found by simple methods of vector algebra once we define it's coordinate basis through the above procedure.
Hope I helped.

Hi Warren,
Thank you for bringing up this interesting topic. The relationship between the compass angle of the sun at sunrise and latitude is indeed a fascinating one. As you mentioned, it is not a linear relationship, but rather a complicated one.
To understand this relationship more deeply, we can look at it through the lens of differential geometry. The key concept here is that of parallel transport, which you have already mentioned. As you pointed out, if we slide the vector triple at point A along a line of longitude, the sun's compass position would vary directly with the latitude. This is because the line of longitude is a geodesic, meaning it is the shortest path between two points on a curved surface (in this case, the Earth's surface).
However, when we parallel transport the vector triple along the terminator, its rotation is more complicated. This is because the terminator is not a geodesic, but rather a curve on the Earth's surface. This means that as we move along the terminator, the direction of the vector triple is changing, resulting in a more complicated relationship between the compass angle of the sun and latitude.
To calculate the sun's compass angle at sunrise for any latitude, we can use the concept of parallel transport and the fact that the Earth's surface is a two-dimensional manifold. This means that at each point on the surface, we can define a tangent plane, which is a two-dimensional plane that is tangent to the surface at that point. We can then use the curvature of the surface to calculate the rotation of the vector triple as we parallel transport it along the terminator.
I hope this helps to deepen your understanding of this topic. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you again for bringing up this interesting discussion.
Related to How Does Latitude Affect the Compass Angle of Sunrise?
1. What causes the different colors in a sunrise?
The colors in a sunrise are caused by the scattering of light by the Earth's atmosphere. As the sun rises, its light passes through more layers of the atmosphere, causing shorter blue and green wavelengths to scatter more and creating the warm red and orange hues we see.
2. Why are sunrises different every day?
Sunrises are different every day because the Earth's orbit and rotation cause the angle at which the sun's light hits the atmosphere to change. This, combined with changing weather patterns and atmospheric conditions, results in unique and varied sunrises each day.
3. Can you predict when and where a sunrise will occur?
Yes, the time and location of a sunrise can be predicted using astronomical calculations and weather forecasting. However, the exact appearance of a sunrise can be difficult to predict due to varying atmospheric conditions.
4. How does the Earth's tilt affect sunrises?
The Earth's tilt on its axis is responsible for the changing seasons and the varying angle at which the sun's light hits the atmosphere. This tilt affects the length of daylight and the appearance of sunrises, with more dramatic and colorful sunrises occurring during certain seasons.
5. Can you view a sunrise from any location on Earth?
Technically, yes, you can view a sunrise from any location on Earth. However, factors such as mountains, buildings, and the curvature of the Earth may obstruct your view. Additionally, atmospheric conditions and weather patterns can also affect visibility of the sunrise. | 677.169 | 1 |
Angle of Depressionle of depression is a term used to describe the angle formed by two lines, one extending from an observer's eye to the horizon and another to an object located some horizontal distance away from and below the observer. The angle of depression is a popular teaching tool in mathematics. A right triangle is formed by connecting three points, with the observer and the object serving as two of the points. The third point is located where the horizontal line from the observer to the horizon intersects with a vertical line extending upwards from the object.
If one or more of the values of the triangle, such as the length of one of the sides or the size of one of the two acute angles is not known, the angle of depression can be calculated using principles of geometry and trigonometry. These exercises are a good way to use practical, everyday situations to illustrate problems that can be difficult for some students to grasp. By creating a framework for the known and unknown values of a problem, students are may be able to visualize the problem more effectively, which helps them to find the correct solution.
Problems involving the angle of depression assume that the line from the observer to the horizon and the ground are parallel. This is useful for situations where the distances are relatively small. When the distances are very large or are part of real world situations, however, rather than hypothetical problems, the curvature of the Earth has an effect, and certain assumptions are no longer valid, especially the one that states that the angle of elevation from the object back to the observer and the angle of depression are equal. The angle of elevation is the angle formed by the ground and a line extending from the object upwards to the observer. As long as the ground and the line extending from the observer to the horizon are parallel, the angles of depression and elevation between the observer and the object are always equal.
The angle of depression is used in surveying, engineering, and geology. Road construction, building projects and civil engineering projects may make use of the angle of depression and the concepts surrounding it to ensure precise construction of many structures as well as proper alignment of things like aqueducts and pipelines. Geologists sometimes use it to describe the arrangement of rock layers relative to the surface of the Earth | 677.169 | 1 |

What Are Similar Triangles?
More often than not, learners mix up similar triangles with congruent ones. However, an entire world of difference exists between these two concepts.
Congruent triangles are triangles that have both the same shape and the same size. On the other hand, similar triangles have the same shape but may not have the same size. The sizes of similar triangles typically vary.
To ascertain the similarity of two triangles, you'll need to check if they meet one of the following criteria:
Three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional.
Two pairs of corresponding angles are equal.
Two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional, and the corresponding angles between them are equal.

How Many Sides on a Polygon Are There?
A polygon is a two-dimensional geometric figure composed of a finite number of straight line segments connected end-to-end to form a closed loop. These segments are called edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. The word "polygon" comes from the Greek words "poly," meaning "many," and "gon," meaning "angle."
Polygons are a fundamental aspect of geometry, and they can be simple or complex, regular or irregular. They are characterized by the number of sides they have, which determines their shape and properties. Polygons can have as few as three sides, such as in a triangle, or as many as desired, with each additional side creating a new shape. The study of polygons is an essential part of understanding geometric principles and their applications in various fields, including art, architecture, and engineering.
Polygon Types, Shapes, and Number of Sides
Polygons are classified into various types based on their number of sides and their geometrical properties. The most common types are named for the number of sides they have. For example, a polygon with three sides is called a triangle, while one with four sides is known as a quadrilateral. As the number of sides increases, the names of the polygons become more complex, such as pentagon (five sides), hexagon (six sides), and so on. Here is a more detailed table chart showing the correlation between the number of sides of a polygon and their shape/name:
Number of Sides
Name of Polygon
Characteristics
3
Triangle
Three angles, three vertices
4
Quadrilateral
Four angles, four vertices, includes squares, rectangles
5
Pentagon
Five angles, five vertices
6
Hexagon
Six angles, six vertices
7
Heptagon
Seven angles, seven vertices
8
Octagon
Eight angles, eight vertices
9
Nonagon
Nine angles, nine vertices
10
Decagon
Ten angles, ten vertices
11
Hendecagon
Eleven angles, eleven vertices
12
Dodecagon
Twelve angles, twelve vertices
Each type of polygon has its own set of properties and formulas for calculating area, perimeter, and interior angles. Understanding these properties is crucial for solving geometric problems and for practical applications in design and construction.
Convex and Concave Polygons
A convex polygon is a type of polygon where all interior angles are less than 180°. This means that any line segment drawn between any two points on the boundary of the polygon will always lie entirely within the polygon. Convex polygons have no indentations or "inward" curves on their sides, resulting in a shape that appears to bulge outward. Examples of convex polygons include regular shapes like squares, rectangles, and regular hexagons, where all sides and angles are equal, as well as irregular shapes where the sides and angles may differ, but no interior angle exceeds 180°.
A concave polygon, in contrast, is a polygon that has at least one interior angle greater than 180°. This creates an indentation or "cave-in" effect on at least one side of the polygon, giving the appearance that part of the polygon is pushed inward. Concave polygons can have complex shapes, and they often resemble a convex polygon with a "bite" taken out of it. Star-shaped polygons, with their inward-pointing vertices, are classic examples of concave polygons.
Simple and Complex Polygons
A simple polygon is defined as a polygon that does not intersect itself. This means that its edges meet only at the vertices, and no two edges cross each other at any point other than these vertices. Simple polygons can be either convex or concave, but they maintain a single, unbroken boundary that encloses a single region of space. Most common polygons, such as triangles, rectangles, and pentagons, are simple polygons because they have a clear and straightforward shape without any self-intersecting lines.
On the other hand, a complex polygon, also known as a self-intersecting polygon, is a polygon whose sides cross over each other at one or more points that are not vertices. This crossing creates a shape that can be seen as a combination of multiple simple polygons, or as a single polygon with a more intricate boundary. Complex polygons often resemble a figure made up of several overlapping simple polygons. A typical example of a complex polygon is a five-pointed star, where the extensions of the sides intersect with each other, creating a shape that cannot be classified as a simple polygon.
How to Compute the Number of Sides of a Regular Polygon
In a regular polygon, all sides and angles are equal. To compute the number of sides (n) of a regular polygon, you can use the formula for the sum of interior angles:
Sum of interior angles=(n−2)×180∘
Rearranging the formula, you can find the number of sides:
Using the formula of the sum of interior angles you cal also find the measure of each interior angle in a regular polygon by dividing this sum by the number of sides:
Conclusion
Polygons are fascinating geometric figures that come in various shapes and sizes, each defined by its number of sides. From simple triangles to complex star-shaped figures, polygons play a crucial role in geometry and our understanding of shapes. Whether it's a regular polygon with equal sides and angles or a concave polygon that seems to cave inwards, each has its unique properties and formulas to explore. Understanding these concepts not only enriches our knowledge of geometry but also helps us appreciate the mathematical beauty in the world around
FAQ
How many sides does a polygon have?
A polygon can have any number of sides that is three or greater. The number of sides determines the type of polygon; for example, a triangle has three sides, a quadrilateral has four sides, and so on. There is no upper limit to the number of sides a polygon can have.
What is the formula to find the number of sides of a polygon?
To find the number of sides (n) of a regular polygon, you can use the formula related to the sum of its interior angles:
n= (Sum of interior angles/180∘)+2
This formula is derived from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to (n−2)×180∘, where n is the number of sides.
Can a polygon have an infinite number of sides?
In theory, a polygon can have an infinite number of sides, but such a figure would essentially be a circle. As the number of sides of a regular polygon increases, the polygon becomes more and more like a circle, and in the limit, as the number of sides approaches infinity, the polygon becomes indistinguishable from a circle | 677.169 | 1 |
Bisection of Yin and Yang
The flag of South Korea (and of Kingdom of Korea from 1883)
contains the ancient yin-yang symbol (Taijitu in Chinese, Tomoye in Japanese and Taegeuk in Korean)
that represents the struggle, merger and co-existence of two opposites (could be hot/cold, male/female, sky/earth, moon/sun, etc.) In the diagram Yin (the negative aspect) is rendered in black, with Yang (the positive aspect) rendered in white.
The symbol is composed of two regions of a circle separated by two semicircles of half the radius of the big circle. The famous English puzzlist H. E. Dudeney posed a question [Dudeney, #158] of bisecting the Yin-Yang symbol by the common Euclidean means: straightedge and compass. He also gave two solutions: Solutions 1 and 2 below. The latter was reprinted by M. Gardner in one of his Scientific American columns and also included in two of his collections [New Mathematical Diversions, The Colossal Book of Short Puzzles]. In response to the column, several readers offered a simplification of Dudeney's proof for Solution 2. In 1960 C. W. Trigg added three more solutions (##3, 4, 5 below). Another (sixth) solution was suggested by the solution to the problem of dividing a circle into N (> 1) equal parts.
Solution 1
This one requires no proof.
Solution 2
Part of the Yin (black) piece below the horizontal diameter of the big circle is a semicircle with area πR²/8, where R is assumed to be the radius of the big circle, so that the small semicircle is of radius R/2. Just above the small semicircle, adjacent to the diameter is a circular sector of the big circle with central angle 45°. Its area is therefore also πR²/8. The two pieces together add to πR²/4 which is exactly half of Yin's area. It follows that the straight cut inclined 45° to the diameter, as shown, solves Dudeney's problem.
Solution 3
The dashed circle has radius R/√2. Obviously, the area of the circle is πR²/2 which is then the area of the left over annulus. The rest of the proof is an easy consequence of the Carpets theorem and is continued below.
Solution 4
The reflection in the horizontal diameter of the big circle creates a second Yin-Yang pair of regions whose borderline supplies the necessary cut. This is an easy consequence of the Carpets theorem and is proved below. (This solution was also included into Trigg's book.)
Solution 5
For this proof, we set x = R(√5 - 1)/4. Then the dashed line consists of two semicircles of radius x and two semicircles of radius x + R/2. It is easy to show that, for the given value of x which is incidentally half the golden ratio, the two regions into which the dashed line divides the circle have equal areas. The rest of the proof is an easy consequence of the Carpets theorem and is continued below.
Solution 6
This is a particular case of a more general algorithm for the division of a circle into N pieces of equal areas. This is the only solution in which in addition to having equal areas the four so formed regions have also equal perimeters.
Application of the Carpet Theorem
In the solutions 3-5, let's denote the Yin/Yang regions as S1 and S2. The two have equal areas. In all three cases, the dashed lines divide the big circle into two regions, say T1 and T2, also of equal areas. Obviously, Area(T1) = Area(S2) and it is not important which is which. By Carpets theorem,
Area(S1 ∩ T1) = Area(S2 ∩ T2).
Observe that in all three solutions there is central symmetry with respect to the center of the big circle. Because of the symmetry, the union of the region on the left of the above equality together with the reflection of the region on the right gives either Yin or Yang, proving that the dashed line indeed divides both of them into pieces of equal areas. | 677.169 | 1 |

In a circle, the central angle dθ intercepts an arc of length rdθ. Taking the "wedge" shown in Figure 7.2.1 as a triangle, its area is half the base times the height. The base is the arc, approximated by rdθ and the altitude is approximated by r, the length of either side of the angle dθ. Hence, the area of the "wedge" in Figure 7.2.1 is taken as 12rdθr=12r2d | 677.169 | 1 |
If two sides are able to 10cm and 6.5cm find the the third side
Answers
The sides of a triangle have lengths (in cm) 10, 6.5 & a ,where a is whole number. The minimum value that a can take is ?????
Sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side of the triangle.
Here,
First side=10cm
Second side=6.5cm
Third side=a cm
According to this property,
third side <first side +second side
=>a<(10+6.5)cm
=>a<16.5cm
So,here we can take the minimum of value of a =16.5+0.01=16.51cm
Third side is 16.51 cm

Answer:
This means we are given two sides and one angle that is not the included angle. In this case, use The Law of Sines first to find either one of the other two angles, then use Angles of a Triangle to find the third angle, then The Law of Sines again to find the final side. | 677.169 | 1 |

angle at F be either obtuse or acute, the line EF, which forms it, can have only one corresponding position.Whence, in each of these three cases, the triangle ABC admits of a perfect adaptation with DEF.
PROP. XXV. THEOR.
If a straight line fall upon two parallel straight lines, it will make the alternate angles equal, the exterior angle equal to the interior opposite one, and the two interior angles on the same side together equal to two right angles.
Let the straight line EFG fall upon the parallels AB and CD; the alternate angles AGF and DFG are equal, the exterior angle EFC is equal to the interior angle EGA, and the interior angles CFG and AGF are together equal to two right angles.
For suppose the straight line EFG, produced both ways from F to turn about that point in the direction BA; it will first cut the extended line AB towards A, and will in ils progress afterwards meet the same line on the other side towards B. In the position IFH, the angle EFH is the exterior angle of the triangle FHG, and therefore greater than FGH or EGA (I. 10.) But in the last position LFK, the exterior angle EFL is equal to its vertical angle GFK in the triangle FKG, and to which the angle FGA is exterior; consequently (I. 10.) FGA is greater than EFL, or the angle EFL is less than FGA or EGA. When the incident line EFG, therefore, meets AB above the point G, it makes an angle EFH greater than EGA; and when it meets AB below that point, it makes an angle EFL, which is less than the same angle. But in passing through all the de

grees from greater to less, a varying magnitude must evidently rencounter, as it proceeds, the single intermediate limit of equality. Wherefore, there is a certain position, CD, in which the line revolving about the point F makes the exterior angle EFC equal to the interior EGA, and at the same time meets AB neither towards the one part nor the other, or is parallel to it.
And now, since EFC is proved to be equal to EGA, and is also equal to the vertical angle GFD; the alternate angles FGA and GFD are equal. Again, because GFD and FGA are equal, add the angle FGB to each, and the two angles GFD and FGB are equal to FGA and FGB; but the angles FGA and FGB, on the same side of AB, are equal to two right angles, and consequently the interior angles GFD and FGB are likewise equal to two right angles.
Cor. Since the position CD is individual, or that only one straight line can be drawn through the point F parallel to AB, it follows that the converse of the proposition is true, and that those three properties of parallel lines are also the criteria for distinguishing parallels.
PROP. XXVI. PROB.
Through a given point, to draw a straight line parallel to a given straight line.
To draw, through the point C, a straight line parallel to AB.
In AB take any point D, join CD, and at the point C make (I. 4.) an angle DCE equal to CDA; CE is parallel to AB.
For the angles CDA and DCE, thus formed equal, are the alternate angles which CD makes with the straight
lines CE and AB, and, therefore, by the corollary to the last proposition, these lines are parallel.
PROP. XXVII. THEOR.
Parallel lines are equidistant, and equidistant straight lines are parallel.
The perpendiculars EG, FH, let fall from any points E, F in the straight line AB upon its parallel CD, are equal; and if these perpendiculars be equal, the straight lines AB and CD are parallel.
For join EH and because each of the interior angles EGH and FHG is a right angle, they are together equal to two right angles, and consequently the perpendiculars EG and FH are (Cor. I. 25.) pa- A E rallel to each other; wherefore

Again, if the perpendiculars EG and FH be equal, the two triangles EGH and EFH, having the side EG equal to FH, EH common, and the contained angle HEG equal to EHF, are (I. 3.) equal, and therefore the angle EHG equal to HEF, and (I. 25.) the straight line AB parallel to CD.

If the opposite sides AB, DC, and AD, BC of the quadrilateral figure ABCD be equal, they are also parallel.
B
For join AC. And because AB is equal to DC, BC to AD, and AC is common; the two triangles ABC and ADC are (I. 2.) equal. Consequently the angle ACD is equal to CAB, and the side AB D
(Cor. I. 25.) parallel to CD; and for the same reason, the angle CAD is equal to ACB, whence the side AD is parallel to BC.
Cor. Hence the angles of a square or rectangle are all of them right angles; for the opposite sides, being equal, are parallel; and if the angle at A be right, the other interior one at B is also a right angle (I. 25.), and consequently the angles at C and D, opposite to these, are right.
PROP. XXIX. THEOR.
The opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Let the quadrilateral figure ABCD have the sides AB, BC parallel to CD, AD; these are respectively equal, and so are the opposite angles at A and C, and at B and D.
For join AC. Because AB is parallel to CD, the alternate angles BAC and ACD are (I. 25.) equal; and since AD is parallel to BC, the alternate angles ACB and CAD are likewise equal. Wherefore the
D
C
triangles ABC and ADC, having the angles CAB and ACB equal to ACD and CAD, and the interjacent side AC common to both, are (I. 23.) equal. Consequently, the side AB is equal to CD, and the side BC to AD; and these opposite sides being thus equal, the opposite angles (I. 28.) must also be equal.,
Cor. Hence the diagonal divides a rhomboid or parallelogram into two equal triangles. Hence also an oblong
is a rectangular parallelogram; for if the angle at A be right, the opposite angle at C is right, and the remaining angles at B and D, being equal to each other and to two right angles, must be right angled.
PROP. XXX. THEOR.
If the parallel sides of a trapezoid be equal, the other sides are likewise equal and parallel.
Let the sides AB and DC be equal and parallel; the sides AD and BC are themselves equal and parallel.
For join AC. Because AB is parallel to CD, the alternate angles CAB and ACD are (1. 25.) equa!; and the triangles ABC and ADC, having the side AB equal to CD, AC common to both, and the contained angle CAB equal to ACD, are, therefore, equal (I. 3.) Whence the
side BC is equal to AD, and the angle

ACB equal to CAD; but these angles being alternate, BC must also be parallel to AD (Cor. I. 25.)

Angles are an important part of mathematics, and angle theorems help us understand the properties of angles and how they relate to each other. Angle theorems allow us to calculate the size of angles and to determine the relationships between them. They are used in geometry and trigonometry to help us solve various problems. Some of the most common angle theorems include the angle sum theorem, the exterior angle theorem, and the triangle angle bisector theorem. These theorems can help us calculate angles in triangles and quadrilaterals, as well as other shapes. Angle theorems are very useful in mathematics and can help us understand the properties of angles and how they relate to each other. | 677.169 | 1 |
Elements of Surveying
69. A plane perpendicular to a horizontal plane, is called a vertical plane.
70. The lines of a horizontal plane, as well as all lines which are parallel to it, are named horizontal lines.
71. Lines which are perpendicular to a horizontal plane, are called vertical lines, and lines which are inclined to it, oblique lines.
72. The horizontal distance between two points, is the horizontal line intercepted between the two vertical lines passing through those points.
73. A horizontal angle is one whose sides are horizontal ; its plane also is horizontal. A horizontal angle may also be defined, the angle included between two vertical planes passing through the angular point, and the two objects which subtend the angle.
74. A vertical angle is one whose plane is vertical.
75. An angle of elevation, is a vertical angle having one of its sides horizontal, and the inclined side above the horizontal side.
76. An angle of depression, is a vertical angle having one of its sides horizontal, and the inclined side under the horizontal side.
77. An oblique angle, is one whose plane is oblique to the horizontal plane.
78. All lines, which can be the object of measurement, must belong to one of the three classes above named: that is, they are either horizontal, vertical, or oblique. The angles also are distributed into three classes; horizontal angles, vertical angles, and oblique angles: the class of vertical angles being subdivided into angles of elevation, and angles of depression.
CHAPTER II.
OF THE MEASUREMENT AND CALCULATION OF LINES AND ANGLES.
79. It has been shown (47), that at least one side and two of the other parts of a plane triangle, must be given or known, before the other parts can be found by computation. When, therefore, it is proposed to ascertain distances by trigonometrical calculations, the first steps necessary are, to measure certain lines on the ground, and also to measure as many angles as are required to render at least three parts of every triangle known; and then, by the aid of trigonometry, the other sides and angles may be calculated.
80. Our attention, then, is directed first, to the measurement of lines; secondly, to the measurement of angles; and thirdly, to the calculations for the unknown or required parts.
81. Any tape, rod, or chain, by means of which we can ascertain equal parts, may be used as a measure, and the unit of measure may be a foot, a yard, a rod, a mile, or any other ascertained distance. The measure in general use is a chain of 4 rods, or 66 feet, in length, called Gunter's chain, from the name of the inventor. This chain is made up of 100 links; every tenth, from either end, is marked by a small brass plate attached to it, and notched, to designate its number from the end. The division of the chain into one hundred equal parts, is a very convenient one, since the divisions, or links, are decimals of the whole chain, and in the calculations may be treated as such. The length of the chain being 4 poles, or 66 feet, is equal to 792 inches, which being divided by 100, gives 7.92 inches for the length of each link. A mile being equal to 320 rods, 80 chains=1 mile, 40 chains
a mile, and 20 chains=4
Besides the chain, there are wanted for measuring, 10 marking pins, and two staves about 6 feet in length, having a spike in the lower end, to aid in holding them firmly, and a horizontal strip of iron passing through them, to prevent the chain from slipping off; these staves are to be passed through the rings, at the ends of the chain.
TO MEASURE A HORIZONTAL LINE.
82. Being provided with a chain, the staves, and the marking pins, let two signal staves be planted, one where the measurement is to begin, and the other where it is to terminate; or, perhaps, some distant object, in the direction of the line to be measured, may serve as a sufficient guide, and render the second staff unnecessary. Let the ten marking pins, and one end of the chain be taken by the person that is to go forward, who is called the leader, and let him plant the staff as nearly as possible in the direction of the stations: then, taking the staff in his right hand, let him stand off at arm's length, so that the person at the other end of the chain can align it exactly; when the alignment is made, let the chain be stretched, and a marking pin placed: and so on till the whole line is measured. Great care must be taken to keep the chain horizontal; and if the acclivity or declivity of the ground be too great to admit of measuring a whole chain at a time, a part of a chain only must be measured: the sum of all the horizontal lines so measured, is evidently the horizontal distance between the stations.
83. We come now to the measurement of angles, and for this purpose several instruments are used. The one, however, which affords the most accurate results, and which indeed can alone be relied on for nice work or extensive operations, is called a theodolite. This instrument only will be described at present, others will be subsequently explained.
OF THE THEODOLITE.
84. The theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It is usually placed on a tripod ABC (Pl. II. Fig. 1), which enters by means of a screw the
body of the instrument. Through the horizontal plate DE, four small hollow cylinders are inserted with female screws in their interior, which receive four screws with milled heads, that work against a second horizontal plate, FG. The upper side of the plate DE terminates in a curved surface, which encompasses a ball, that is nearly a semisphere, with the plane of its base horizontal. This ball, which is hollow, is firmly connected with the smaller base of a hollow conic frustum, that passes through the curved part of the plate DE, and screws firmly into the curved part of the second horizontal plate FG.
A hollow conic spindle passes through the middle of the ball, and the hollow frustum with which it is connected. To this spindle, a third horizontal and circular plate HI, called the limb of the instrument, is permanently attached. Within this spindle, and concentric with it, there is a second spindle, called the inner, or solid spindle. To this latter, is united a thin circular plate, called the vernier plate, which rests on the limb of the instrument, and supports the upper frame work. The two spindles terminate at the base of the spherical ball, where a small male screw enters the inner one, and presses a washer against the other, and the base of the ball. On the upper surface of the plate FG, rests a clamp which goes round the outer spindle, and being compressed by the clamp screw K, is made fast to it. This clamp is thus connected with the plate FG. A small cylinder a, is fastened to the plate FG : through this cylinder a thumb screw L passes, and works into a small cylinder b, connected with the clamp. The cylinders b and a admit of a motion round their axis, to relieve the screw L of the pressure which would otherwise be occasioned by working it.
Directly above the clamp, is the lower telescope MN. This telescope is connected with a hollow cylinder, which is worked freely round the outer spindle, by the thumb screw P, having a pinion acting with a concealed cog-wheel, that is permanently fastened to the limb of the instrument. By means of a clamp screw Q, the telescope is made fast to the limb, when it will have a common motion with the limb and outer spindle. The circular edge of the limb is chamfered, and is generally
made of silver, and on this circle the graduation for horizontal angles is made. In the instrument described, the circle is cut into degrees and half degrees; the degrees are numbered from 0 to 360.
On the circular edge of the vernier plate, is a small space of silver called a vernier; this space is divided into 30 equal parts, and numbered from the line marked 0 to the left.
There are two levels attached to the vernier plate, at right angles to each other, by small adjusting screws; one of them is seen in the figure. The vernier plate, turning with the inner spindle, is moved round by the thumb screw T, which has a pinion working with a concealed cog-wheel, that is part of the limb of the instrument. The clamp screw S, fastens the vernier plate to the limb. In some theodolites, there is a tangent screw, similar to the screw L, by means of which, the smaller motions of the vernier plate are regulated.
There is a compass on the vernier plate that is concentric with it, the use of which is explained under the head, Compass.
The frame work which supports the horizontal axis of the vertical semicircle UV, and the upper telescope with its attached level, rests on the upper plane of the vernier plate, to which it is made fast by three adjusting screws, placed at the angular points of an equilateral triangle. The vertical semicircle UV, is called the vertical limb; its motions are governed by the thumb screw Z, which has a pinion, that works with the teeth of the vertical plate. On the face of the vertical limb, opposite the thumb screw Z, the circle is divided into degrees and half degrees: the degrees are numbered both ways from the line marked 0. There is a small plate resting against the graduated face of the vertical limb, called the vernier; it is divided into 30 equal parts, and the middle line is designated by 0. On the other face of the vertical limb, are two ranges of divisions, commencing at the 0 point, and extending each way 45°. The one shows the vertical distance of any object to which the upper telescope is directed, above or below the place of the instrument in 100th parts of the horizontal distance: the other, the difference between the | 677.169 | 1 |
How To Determine Which Quadrant An Angle Lies In - Comprehensive Guide
Determining the quadrant of an angle is an essential skill for any student learning math. But how exactly do you determine the quadrant of an angle? Here are a few quick tips to help tell you the quadrant of an angle.
Step 1: Know the Coordinate System
The first step to determining the quadrant of an angle is to familiarize yourself with the coordinate system. The coordinate system is a grid composed of four quadrants which are labelled as Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV. The center of the coordinate system is called the origin (0, 0). Starting from the origin and moving in a counterclockwise direction, Quadrant I is the top right, Quadrant II is the top left, Quadrant III is the bottom left, and Quadrant IV is the bottom right quadrant.
Step 2: Determine the x-axis and the y-axis
Next, you want to identify the x-axis, which runs from left to right, and the y-axis, which runs from bottom to top. This will help you identify which quadrant the angle is in.
Step 3: Identify the Quadrant
Now you're ready to identify which quadrant an angle is in. To do that, you need to know the angle's terminal side and the type of angle you're working with (right, acute or obtuse).
Quadrant I: All angles with a terminal side in Quadrant I and an acute angle will be in Quadrant I.
Quadrant II: All angles with a terminal side in Quadrant II and an acute angle will be in Quadrant II.
Quadrant III: All angles with a terminal side in Quadrant III and an obtuse angle will be in Quadrant III.
Quadrant IV: All angles with a terminal side in Quadrant III and a right angle will be in Quadrant IV.

A line segment has endpoints at #(4 ,7 )# and #(1 ,5 )#. The line segment is dilated by a factor of #4 # around #(3 ,3 )#. What are the new endpoints and length of the line segment?
1 Answer
New endpoints: #color(green)(""(-5,8))# and #color(blue)(""(7,16))#
New line segment length: #sqrt(265#
Explanation:
Dilation about a center means that all points are moved so that the distance from the center is increased by the dilation factor along the same vector.
By saying "along the same vector" we mean that the slope: #(deltay):(deltax)# remains constant.
In this example the center is at #color(red)(""(3,3))# so #(deltay):(deltax)# to the point #color(blue)(""(4,7))# is #1:4#
scaling this up by the dilation factor of #4#
gives a new offset from the center of #4xx(vec(1:4))=(vec(4:16))#
for a resulting location: #color(white)("XXX")color(red)(""(3,3))+(vec(4,16))=color(blue)(""(7,19))#
Similarly, we can determine the dilated location of #color(green)(""(1,5))# as #color(green)(""(-5,8))#
and the length of the dilated line segment is simply the distance between the dilated endpoints #color(blue)(""(7,19))# and #color(green)(""(-5,8))# as determined by the Pythagorean theorem: #sqrt((7-(-5))^2+(19-8)^2)=sqrt(12^2+11^2)=sqrt(265)~~16.28# | 677.169 | 1 |

JEE Advanced Important Questions of Three Dimensions Geometry
In mathematics, Geometry is the practical section involving shapes and sizes and different properties of varied materials. The subject of geometry can be classified into two parts- solid and plane geometry. The plane geometry studies shapes that are flat like the lines, curves etc. solid geometry on the other hand is the study of three-dimensional shapes like the cylinder, cube, etc.
In the case of Cartesian Geometry, one notices that it usually deals with the 2-D and 3-D geometry. On the one hand, two-dimensional geometry encompasses the study of the location from a given x-y plane; whereas three-dimensional geometry deals with the three orthogonal axes, that is, x, y and z axes. Thus, one can state that three-dimensional geometry in brief is simply an extension or the product of the two-dimensional geometry.
Three dimensions in geometry are the solids that possess three dimensions- length, width and height. The 2-dimensional shapes only have two dimensions associated with length and width. Three-dimensional shapes can be seen in the day to day surroundings. A cone-shaped ice cream, a box of cubical shapes etc are examples of the same.
Geometry is one of the practical sections of Mathematics that involves various shapes and sizes of different figures and their properties. Geometry can be divided into two types: plane and solidgeometry. Plane geometry deals with flat shapes like lines, curves, polygons, etc., that can be drawn on a piece of paper. On the other hand, solid geometry involves objects of three-dimensional shapes such as cylinders, cubes, spheres, etc. In this article, we are going to learn different 3D shapes models in Maths such as cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and so on along with its definitions, properties, formulas and examples in detail.
This article by Vedantu will focus on the three-dimensional geometry, called solid geometry, that forms the syllabus of the JEE advanced examinations. The study of solid geometry will deal with the different shapes such as cubes, cuboids, tetrahedrons, etc. As Three Dimensional geometry is one of the most important topics for the JEE aspirants, this article will provide the candidates with important questions that will help them prepare better for the exam.

In an isosceles trapezoid, the base of AD is 4 cm larger than the base of BC.
In an isosceles trapezoid, the base of AD is 4 cm larger than the base of BC. The lateral side is 3 cm. Find the base of the trapezoid if you know that you can inscribe a circle into it
1. Since a circle is inscribed in an isosceles trapezoid, according to its properties:
AB + CD = BC + AD.
2. AB = CD = 3 centimeters, since the sides of an isosceles trapezoid are equal.
AB + CD = 6 centimeters.
BC + AD = 6 centimeters.
3. According to the condition of the problem, AD is more than BC by 4 centimeters, that is, AD = BC + 4 cm.
BC + BC + 4 = 6 centimeters.
2 BC = 2 centimeters.
BC = 1 centimeter.
AD = BC + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5 centimeters.
Answer: BC = 1 centimeter, AD = 5 | 677.169 | 1 |
ARC causes the two points at the co-ordinates
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) to be
connected with an arc. The arc is defined as the sector of the circle
formed by drawing two straight lines from the two given co-ordinates to
the centre of the circle, where angle is the angle (in radians) between
those two lines. Therefore, angle=0 is a straight line and angle=PI,
half a circle.
It therefore follows that the greater ABS(angle), the more pronounced is
the curve on the arc.
Multiple arcs can be draw with the same command by adding extra sets of
parameters for each additional arc. For example:
ARC100,10TO120,40,3TO80,70,3
will actually draw two arcs, one between the points (100,10) and
(120,40) with angle=3 and the second between the points (120,40) and
(80,70), also with angle=3.
When drawing multiple arcs, there is actually no need for the next arc
in the series to begin at the end of the previous arc, provided that a
semicolon ';' is inserted between each set of parameters. For example:
ARC100,10TO120,40,3;30,40TO50,60,3
Whether the arc is drawn clockwise or anti-clockwise depends upon two
factors: If y1>y2 and angle>0, then the arc will be
drawn anti-clockwise. Swapping the two co-ordinates or making the angle
negative will force the arc to be drawn clockwise.
Co-ordinates refer to the window relative graphic co-ordinate system,
which is relative to the graphic origin. The size and position of the
arc also depend upon the SCALE of the window. If no first point is given
then the current position of the graphic cursor is used. The graphic
cursor is set to the last point of the arc on completion of the command.
On non Minerva v1.89+ ROMs, ARC does not work properly - small angles
produce rubbish, wrong co-ordinates are used and the last pixel of the
arc is not always drawn. Even SMS does not cure these problems.
NOTE 2
An angle of 2*PI would form a complete circle and cannot be drawn,
therefore the maximum value for ABS(angle) is a value just less than
2*PI.
NOTE 3
On some ROM versions, the command does not check that the TO separator
is present - however, SMSQ/E (at least) does and therefore some programs
may fail if used under SMSQ/E and they have used a comma instead of TO.
WARNING
Some QDOS implementations of this command can corrupt the hard disk
drive in some obscure circumstances. Get Minerva or SMSQ/E to be safe!!
CROSS-REFERENCE
ARC_R works in exactly the same way as
ARC but uses a relative co-ordinate system,
where the origin is the current position of the graphic cursor. | 677.169 | 1 |
In Geometry, we were using sine, cosine, and tangent to find different angles and sides of the triangle, but my teacher didn't explain what they really are. Basically I just did what he told me to do without really understanding what they actually are for.
Can someone please explain to me what they really mean and what they do?

Well, I am really interested to provide the answer since same problem encountered me when I was around your age. Teachers mostly don't tell us what they are and what concepts are underlying them (sine and cosine). I was exhausted with using tricks to memorize where, when and how to use them. But later I found what is underlying them or from where are they derived? If once you come to know what are they really, they will be like your toys and you could play with them.
To understand what sine, cosine and tangent are you have to understand the term "function" in criteria of Mathematics.
I would like to provide the definition of rule form of function because I think it is an intuitive one.
Definition:
A function is a rule that produces a correspondence between two sets of elements such that to each element in the first set there corresponds one and only one element in the second set
The first set is called domain and the second one is called range.
It is usually denoted by the symbol $f$
Think function as a machine in which we input some data, it executes the process and give it to us in the form of output.
For Instance:
let $f(x)=2x$
then, $f(0)=0$,
$f(i)=2i$,
$f(3)=6$
Don't think that $f$ is some constant and being multiplied by $x$ but it is the notation. May be you would have problem with the notation as Richard Feynman had but later he agreed to use the standard notations and so you should do otherwise you would have to face bigger problems in future. So, What have you noticed thus far? Can you see that we are plugging numbers in function and getting different output every time. So this is an intuitive approach to functions.
Now, finally, we shall draw our attention towards the origin of angular functions i.e. from where they came.
Trigonometric or Angular Functions:
There are basically two circular functions namely, sine and cosine. Others are ratios in terms of both of them or either of them ($\tan {\theta}=\frac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}$)
We choose a 2-D coordinate system so that this general angle ($\angle POM$) in above figure) is in standard position. In figure a unit circle (circle of radius 1) is drawn with center at the origin O. The terminal ray (${PO}$) of the angle cuts the circle at $P(x,y)$. Thus to every real number $\theta$, there corresponds a unique point $P(x,y)$
So the set of ordered pairs $[\theta ,(x,y)]$ defines a function with,
$domain=({\theta | \theta \in \mathbb R})$
and,
$range=[(x,y) | x^2+y^2=1, x,y \in \mathbb R]$
So,
$p(\theta)=(x,y)$ where $\theta \in \mathbb R$
i.e., $[(x,y)|x^2+y^2=1, x, y \in \mathbb R]$
We define $\sin[p(\theta)]$ by,
$\sin{\theta}=y$
and similarly,
$\cos{\theta}=x$
These functions are called trigonometric or circular or angular functions.
In general if the 2nd figure not contains a unit circle, then we define
They are all ratios of different sides of triangles. Have you learned "SOH-CAH-TOA"? Sine is the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuse, cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side over the hypotenuse, and tangent is the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side. For example, $\sin{30}=\frac{1}{2}$. This means that for every right triangle with a 30 degree angle, the opposite side over the hypotenuse is always going to be $\frac{1}{2}$, no matter what the size is.
Given a right triangle which has an angle $\theta$, we define $\sin(\theta)$ to be the ratio of the length of the side opposite $\theta$ to the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. The beauty of this definition is that it does not depend on which right triangle you pick; as long as one of the angles is $\theta$, the ratio is the same as for any other right triangle with this angle, hence $\sin(\theta)$ is well-defined.
We define $\cos(\theta)$ and $\tan(\theta)$ to be the other familiar ratios of side lengths of a right triangle with an angle $\theta$. | 677.169 | 1 |

8. The magnitude of an angle depends on the inclination which the lines that form it have to each other, and not on the length of those lines. Thus the angle DBE is greater than the angle ABC, Fig. 3.
9. When a straight line stands on another straight line, so as to incline to neither side, but makes the angles on each side equal, then each of those angles is called a right angle and the line which stands on the other is said to be perpendicular to it. Thus ADC and BDC are right angles, and the line CD is perpendicular to AB, Fig. 4.
10. An acute angle is that which is less than a right angle, as BDE, Fig. 4.
11. An obtuse angle is that which is greater than a right angle, as ADE, Fig. 4.
12. Parallel straight lines are those which are in the same plane, and which, being produced ever so far both ways, do not meet, as AB, CD, Fig. 5.
13. A figure is a space bounded by one or more lines.
14. A plane triangle is a figure bounded by three straight lines, as ABC, Fig. 6.
15. An equilateral triangle has its three sides equal to each other, as A, Fig. 7.
16. An isosceles triangle has only two of its sides equal, as B, Fig. 8.
17. A scalene triangle has three unequal sides, as ABC, Fig. 6.
18. A right angled triangle has one right angle, as ABC, Fig. 9: in which the side AC opposite to the
19. An obtuse angled triangle has one obtuse angle, as C, Fig. 10.
20. An acute angled triangle has all its angles acute, as ABC, Fig. 6.
22. Any plane figure bounded by four right lines, is called a quadrilateral.
23. Any quadrilateral, whose opposite sides are parallel, is called a parallelogram, as D, Fig. 11.
24. A parallelogram, whose angles are all right angles, is called a rectangle, as E, Fig. 12.
25. A parallelogram whose sides are all equal, and angles right, is called a square as F, Fig. 13.
26. A rhomboides is a parallelogram, whose opposite sides are equal and angles oblique, as D, Fig. 11.
27. A rhombus is a parallelogram, whose sides are all equal and angles oblique, as G, Fig. 14.
28. Any quadrilateral figure that is not a parallelogram, is called a trepezium.
29. A trepezium that has two parallel sides is called a trapezoid.
30. A right line joining any two opposite angles of a quadrilateral figure, is called a diagonal.
31. That side upon which any parallelogram, or triangle is supposed to stand, is called the base; and the per
called the altitude of the parallelogram, or triangle. Thus AD is the base of the parallelogram ABEC, or triangle ABC, and CD is the altitude. Fig. 15.
32. All plane figures contained under more than four sides, are called polygons; of which those having five sides, are called pentagons; those having six sides, hexagons, and so on.
33. A regular polygon is one whose angles, as well as sides, are all equal.
34. A circle is a plane figure, bounded by one curve line called the circumference or periphery, every part of which is equally distant from a certain point within the circle; and this point is called the centre, Fig. 16.
35. The radius of a circle is a straight line drawn from the centre to the circumference, as CB, Fig. 17.
36. The diameter of a circle is a straight line drawn through the centre, and terminated both ways by the circumference, as AE, Fig. 17. It divides the circle into two equal parts, called semicircles.
37. A quadrant is one quarter of a circle, as ACB, Fig. 17.
Note.-The fourth part of the circumference of a circle is also called a quadrant.
38. A segment of a circle is the figure contained by a right line, and the part of the circumference it cuts off: thus AEBA and AEDA are segments of the circle ABED, Fig. 16.
59. An arc of a circle is any part of the circumference;
40. Ratio is a mutual relation between two quantities of the same kind with respect to magnitude.
Note. A ratio is generally expressed, either by two numbers or by two right lines.
41. When two quantities have the same ratio as two other quantities, the four quantities taken in order are called proportionals; and the last is said to be a fourth proportional to the other three.
42. When three quantities of the same kind are such that the first has to the second the same ratio which the second has to the third, the third is called a third proportional to the first and second, and the second is called á mean proportional between the first and third.

Compass Surveying and Theodolite Question 3:
A theodolite is called a transit theodolite, when its telescope can be revolved through a complete revolution about its
Vertical axis in an inclined plane
Horizontal axis in an inclined plane
Vertical axis in a horizontal plane
Horizontal axis in a vertical plane
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4 :
Horizontal axis in a vertical plane
Compass Surveying and Theodolite Question 3 Detailed Solution
Theodolites may be classified into as:
Transit Theodolite: A theodolite is said to be a transit one when its telescope can be revolved through 180° in a vertical planeabout its horizontal axis, thus directing the telescope in the exact opposite direction.
Non-Transit Theodolite: A theodolite is said to be a non-transit one when its telescope cannot be revolved through 180° in a vertical plane about its horizontal axis. Examples are Y-theodolite and Everest theodolite.
∴ In transit theodolite, the line of the sight can be reversed by revolving the telescope through 180° in the vertical plane.
Compass Surveying and Theodolite Question 6:
While using a theodolite, how to change the reading on the horizontal circle while measuring an horizontal angle?
upper clamp is loosened and lower clamp is tightened.
both, upper and lower clamp are loosened.
both, upper and lower clamp are tightened.
upper clamp is tightened and lower clamp is loosened.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 1 : upper clamp is loosened and lower clamp is tightened.
Compass Surveying and Theodolite Question 6 Detailed Solution
Lower Plate is a horizontal circular plate that provides the main scale reading of a horizontal angle and a means to fix or unfix the whole instrument.
Upper Plate is a horizontal circular plate having two diametrically opposite vernier scales and it provides a means to fix or unfix the upper plate of the instrument with its lower plate.
To change the reading on the circle while measuring an angle following procedure is adopted
Tighten the lower clamp ⇒ Loosen the upper clamp ⇒ Turn the instrument and direct the telescope towards the target to bisect it accurately with the use of tangent screw ⇒ Read the Vernier and record the readings
∴ To change the reading on the circle while measuring an angle, upper clamp is loosened and lower clamp is tightened is correct statement.

How do you interpret the intersection of multiple W.D. Gann Arcs and Circles?
How do you interpret the intersection of multiple W.D. Gann Arcs and Circles? The most obvious answer would most likely be a W.D. Gann Triangle. However, my own personal interpretation would be the cross of circles and lines, as it intersected them all. I suppose the main point of this is to ask those who are more knowledgeable than I in W.D. Gann Math, what they think the true meaning is? I'll continue trying to figure it out which is my eventual goal; trying to collect this many as possible combinations throughout the years. Thank you again. Thank you for writing. I would be careful with your interpretation of triangular combinations. I would actually be tempted to call it a circumpunct.
Gann's Law of Vibration
It reminds me of certain artifacts that are made from circumpunct shapes. Or at least the shape of a circumpunct shape. I say this with the disclaimer that this is only my feeling…but pop over to this web-site it has been proven to me… Thank you for writing.

I say this with the disclaimer that this is only can someone do my nursing assignment feeling…but until it has been proven to me… check my site Triangles that I see with W.D. Gann's that I do recognize are in his books, and some are in the "Post Genesis Recordings". I've kept track of hundreds of possible combinations of Triangles, Circles, etc., the only problem is their that the majority are impossible until I actually take the time to test them in the Grid. The intersections of Circles and Lines make me think of the 'wheel-turn' of the Greek God Phoroneus. Every one that I've seen (to date) has used two Circles in conjunction.

I get the feeling that their is something else more important in the intersectionHow do you interpret the intersection of multiple W.D. Gann Arcs and Circles? This is a puzzling puzzle to many. Is this a grid of number lines which was then "fused"? Is it supposed to represent anchor Great Pyramid in which the Great Pyramid number lines go in a grid formation? What is the significance of the Great Pyramid number pattern? Answer: It is neither. They are not number lines, or the Great Pyramid is not a building. You might want to get out of your "pyramid" thinking about the time warp of your Great Pyramid, and you might be confused as to why there are "Great Pyramids" on so many antique plates, which often were designed before the advent of photography, and used frequently and freely in 19th Century advertisements. I couldn't tell you why some of those plates still exist, but I'm assuming that people just want to gloat about their "fame" a bit. It seems to me that someone has learned how to manipulate wood, metal, gold foil, etc., and has started taking design liberties with the idea find someone to take nursing homework they are "filling, or creating an intersection, of the lines of the Great Pyramid. (even though they might actually have nothing to do with the Great Pyramid nor any Pyramid, and they might not even be making any intersections at all.) This would add some personality to the cut out form of the Pyramids, and so, the plates have become, through time, quite elaborate and impressive, in a very "loud" way. When well done, the artist can look like a master craftsman putting a rich, warm hand in steel working one of those classic Victorian era art projects. Those plates tend to be full of odd details, etc.

, just about everywhere, but especially around each Pyramid, where the extra design goes into the odd extraneous things. Here is an example, from a vintage plate catalog: The date given is 1890; from a vintage catalog. At this point, let us pay attention to this "pyramid." Notice the vertical bars, going into inside, but leaving, the pyramid. There are 3 of these vertical forms touching the inside of the pyramid. Who are the women standing on the outside of this pyramid as depicted? Answer: It is a Chinese woman, and her name is Lu Shan Wang. She is known in Chinese culture as the Goddess of do my nursing assignment Peace, Wisdom, and Compassion. She is the Taoist Goddess of Luck and Fortune. She is "the soul of heaven and earth," and is shown raising her hand in blessing. Another view of them from one of my old plates: The same woman, and this time in a different pose, with her left hand touching the side of the pyramid. Is anyone saying that they are a man? Answer: No. In Chinese culture, no man needs to look like a womanHow do you interpret the intersection of multiple W.D.
Time and Space
Gann Arcs and Circles? A basic premise of my work is that no abstract, spiritual archetype represents human consciousness in its totality – no such representation can exist. Consciousness is a living experience, and as such, it is her explanation incomprehensible. Even when we take the most orthodox definitions of the archetype to ensure rigidity of our categories, they fall short of representing the infinite diversity in human consciousness. In the same way, our consciousness is made up of a myriad of smaller, personal subsets, each unique. This means that all "decisions" we make are also unique: even the same decisions can look and feel entirely different to us in different circumstances. If these smaller subsets are only as large as the particular range of experiences we have made ourselves within, it would be almost impossible to have a common experience of them. This can give rise to the feeling that all the relevant information necessary to make an effective decision is actually somewhere outside the individual. I tend to come to this conclusion from one of two fronts: If our personal experience is that we can't understand how decisions are made from the ego, then who is that "I" that makes them? If this "I" is not the true psyche, then isn't it "something else" that is making decisions and running my "actual" life? If we "look outside our heads" for answers, then this might be our only recourse. To put it in simplistic terms, it is all or nothing. Choices need both awareness and action, and yet they are all fundamentally one Click This Link the same – there is no division between awareness and action. I come from a spiritual background where the archetypal and personal dimensions have typically been analyzed separately. My new approach is to sit with experiences to connect with how they actually work in reality. I wrote about why I believe we need to do this in my previous post | 677.169 | 1 |

(a) A convex quadrilateral (b) A regular hexagon (c) A triangle Solution: (a) In Fig. (i) ABCD is a convex quadrilateral which has two diagonals AC and BD. (b) In Fig. (ii) ABCDEF is a regular hexagon which has nine diagonals AE, AD, AC, BF, BE, BD, CF, CE and DF. (c) In Fig. (iii) ABC is a triangle which has no diagonal.
Ex 3.1 Class 8 Maths Question 3. What is the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral? Will this property hold if the quadrilateral is not convex? (Make a non-convex quadrilateral and verify) Solution: In the given figure, we have a quadrilateral ABCD. Join AC diagonal which divides the quadrilateral into two triangles ABC and ADC. In ∆ABC, ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠6 = 180°…(i) (angle sum property) In ∆ADC, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠5 = 180° …(ii) (angle sum property) Adding, (i) and (ii) ∠1 + ∠3 + ∠2 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 = 180° + 180° ⇒ ∠A + ∠C + ∠D + ∠B = 360° Hence, the sum of all the angles of a convex quadrilateral = 360°. Let us draw a non-convex quadrilateral. Yes, this property also holds true for a non-convex quadrilateral.

Example Question #621 : Act Math
Which point satisfies the system and
Possible Answers:
None of the other answers
Correct answer:
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we need to find a point that will satisfy both equations. In order to do this, we need to combine the two equations into a single expression. For this, we need to isolate either x or y in one of the equations. Since the equation already has y isolated, we will use this equation. Next we substitue this equation into the first one. becomes which simplifies to . Now we can solve for x by factoring: Thus, .
Now that we have two possible values for x, we can plug each value into either equation to obtain two values for y. For and the second equation, we get . Therefore our first point is . This is not one of the listed answers, so we will use our other value of x. For and the second equation, we get . This gives us the point , which is one of the possible answers.
Example Question #2 : Coordinate Geometry

Possible Answers:
None of the other answers
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The expression used in solving this question is the distance formula:
This formula is simply a variation of the Pythagorian Theorem. A great way to remember this formula is to visualize a right triangle where two of the vertices are the points given in the problem statement. For this question:
Where a = and b = . Now it should be easy to see how the distance formula is simply a variation of the Pythagorean Theorem.
We almost have all of the information we need to solve the problem, but we still need to find the coordinates of the triangle at the right angle. This can be done by simply taking the y-coordinate of the first point and the x-coordinate of the second point, resulting in .
Example Question #1 : Coordinate Geometry
What is the measurement of ?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Whenever you have an angle that is inscribed to the outside edge of a circle and to an angle that passes through the midpoint of the circle, the inscribed angle will always be one half the measurement of the angle that passes through the midpoint of the circle.
Since the angle that passes through the midpoint of the circle is a straight angle (all straight angles measure degrees), the inscribed angle must measure degrees.
Since the sum of the internal angles of all triangles add up to degrees, add up the measurements of the angles that you know and subtract the sum from degrees to find your answer:

In a poll, Camille learned that of her classmates spoke English at home, spoke Spanish, and spoke other languages. If she were to graph this data on a pie chart, what would be the degree measurement for the part representing students who speak Spanish at home?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, you must first solve for what percentage of the entire group comprise of Spanish-speaking students. To do this, divide the total amount of Spanish-speaking students by the total number of students.
Multiply this number by 100 and round up in order to get your percentage.
Then, multiply this number times the total degrees in a circle to find out the measurement of the piece representing Spanish-speaking students on the pie chart.
Example Question #1 : Coordinate Geometry
Find the distance between the two points and .
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
Instead of memorizing the distance formula, think of it as a way to use the Pythagorean Theorem. In this case, if you draw both points on a coordinate system, you can draw a right triangle using the two points as corners. The result is a 5-12-13 triangle. Thus, the missing side's length is 13 units. If you don't remember this triplet, then you could use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve | 677.169 | 1 |

Wigner-Seitz Method for Defining a Primitive Unit Cell (still applies in 3D)What are different ways we could define a unit cell?Always 6 sided in 2D, unless the lattice is rectangular.Have students come up with colored chalk and show different definitions of the unit cell to emphasize why it's nice to have a specific definition. The Wigner-Seitz method will have an even more important use when we get to reciprocal space.Reference to neighbors, like we discussed for sc, bcc and fccSometimes don't need to go to 3rd neighbors; it depends on the symmetry of the lattice. Best just to check though.1. Pick a center atom (origin) within the lattice2. Draw perp. bisector to all neighbors (1st,2nd, 3rd in 2D)3. Draw smallest polyhedron enclosed by bisectors
3 Wigner-Seitz for BCC & FCC Is this BCC or FCC?Answer: Not atom in the center of the cell.Looks a little different in FCC. Why?
4 Today's Objectives Critical for Future After today's lecture, students should be able to:Correctly use/identify notation for directions and planesLocate directions and planesDetermine the distance between planes in cubic or orthorhombic (abc, 90 angles) latticesDraw the atoms within a specific plane with a given crystal structure(If time) Draw Wigner-Seitz cellConsider bringing large crystal structure to show direction in real 3D
5 Crystal Direction Notation Choose one lattice point on the line as an origin (point O). Choice of origin is completely arbitrary, since every lattice point is identical.Then choose the lattice vector joining O to any point on the line, say point T. This vector can be written as;R = N1 a1 + N2 a2 + N3 a3a1, a2, a3 often written as a, b, c or even x, y, zTo distinguish a lattice direction from a lattice point (x,y,z), the triplet is enclosed in square brackets and use no comas. Example: [n1n2n3][n1n2n3] is the smallest integer of the same relative ratios. Example: [222] would not be used instead of [111].Negative directions can be written asPoint T = (1,1,1)Draw regular lattice on the board. Discuss how could pick any point on lattice as origin. Draw a vector through a few points. Maybe up and to right through.Figure shows[111] directionAlso sometimes [-1-1-1]
8 Crystal PlanesWithin a crystal lattice it is possible to identify sets of equally spaced parallel planes, called lattice planes.The density of lattice points on each plane of a given set is the same (due to translational symmetry).babaA couple sets ofplanes in the same2D lattice.
9 Why are planes in a lattice important? (A) Determining crystal structure* Diffraction methods measure the distance between parallel lattice planes of atoms to determine the lattice parameters (and other stuff)(B) Plastic deformation* Plastic deformation in metals occurs by the slip of atoms past each other.* This slip tends to occur preferentially along specific crystal-dependent planes.(C) Transport Properties* In certain materials, atomic structure in some planes causes the transport of electrons and/or heat to be particularly rapid in some planes, and relatively slow in other planes.• Example: Graphite: heat conduction is strong within the graphene sheets.
10 Miller Indices (h k l ) for plane notation (no comas) Miller Indices represent the orientation of a plane in a crystal and are defined as the reciprocals of the fractional intercepts which the plane makes with the crystallographic axes.To determine Miller indices of a plane, take the following steps:1) Determine the intercepts of the plane along each of the three crystallographic directions2) Take the reciprocals of the intercepts3) If fractions result, multiply each by the denominator of the smallest fraction(multiply again if needed to get smallest possible ratio)3) Example: Let's say your intercepts were 2, 3 and 1. Then the reciprocals would be: (1/2 1/3 1), multiply by 3 as 1/3 is the smallest fraction. Then would have to multiply again by 2.
17 What are the Miller Indices (h k l) of this plane and the direction perpendicular to it? [2 3 3]Plane intercepts axes at2Reciprocal numbers are:Indices of the plane (Miller): (2 3 3)2Indices of the direction: [2 3 3]3Miller indices are still used for a non-cubic system (even if angles are not at 90 degrees)
19 How does the distance between the planes change? Identify these planesyx(2 1) (3 1) (4 1)As the miller indices of the planes go up, the distance decreasesHow does the distance between the planes change?
20 If you have orthorhombic tetragonal or cubic lattice, use this formula for distance between planes Not tested
21 What is the distance between the (111) planes on a cubic lattice of lattice parameter a?

22 Indices of a Family or Form Sometimes several nonparallel planes may be equivalent by virtue of symmetry, in which case it is convenient to lump all these planes in the same Miller Indices, but with curly brackets.Thus indices {h,k,l} represent all the planes equivalent to theplane (hkl) through rotational symmetry.Similarly, families of crystallographic directions are written as:
23 Draw the atomic (1-11) planes for sc, bcc and fcc (If move this section before crystal structure in future, move this to after nearest neighbors exercise of sc, bcc fcc)Sc and bcc, blue (center atom does not lie on these planes)Fcc also includes orangeBut actually, along this direction, these all look the same. Along what direction do they look very different? 100 is a choice (square or diagonal lattice) bcc vs fcc 110 also look differentAlong what planes do they look very different?
24 Hexagonal Has Different Notation Hexagonal structure:a-b plane (2D hexagon) can be defined by 3 vectors in plane (hkl)3D structure can be defined by 4 miller indices (h k l m)Third miller index not independent:h + k = -lmeI don't understand why the normal notation isn't used either, but this is common to see.Consider the (11-22) grey plane shown above. Notice the intercepts are at 1, 1, and ½ . Take reciprocals for h k and m. Then l is just found by the formula involving h and k above.khlHave more on HCP planes in the Additional Materials tab of website

The chapter Understanding Elementary Shapes delves into the foundation of geometric shapes, equipping you with the vocabulary and concepts to describe and analyze them. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the key areas you'll encounter:
1. Building Blocks:
Points: The most fundamental element in geometry, considered to have no size or dimension. Imagine a tiny dot marking a specific location in space.
Lines: A one-dimensional shape with infinite length in opposite directions. Lines have no thickness and are defined solely by their direction. Think of a perfectly straight, infinitely long path extending in both directions.
2. Line Segments and Rays:
Line Segment: A portion of a line with two distinct endpoints. It has a definite length and represents a finite part of the infinitely long line. Imagine a segment cut out of a straight line, with two clear starting and ending points.
Ray: Similar to a line segment, but with one endpoint and extending infinitely in one direction. Imagine a line segment where one end has been stretched out infinitely long.
3. Curves:
Curves: A continuous path that can be traced without lifting your pen. Curves can be either straight (like a portion of a circle) or genuinely curved. This chapter likely focuses on simple, closed curves that form a complete loop. Imagine drawing a smooth line without stopping until you return to your starting point.
4. Polygons: The Stars of the Show:
Polygons: Closed shapes formed by connecting straight line segments in a specific order. They have a definite number of sides, angles, and vertices (corners where the sides meet). The number of sides is a crucial feature for classifying polygons. Here are some common examples:
Number of Sides: As mentioned earlier, this is a fundamental characteristic that defines the type of polygon.
Angles: The measure of the "turn" formed where two sides of a polygon meet at a vertex. Angles are typically measured in degrees.
Vertices: The points where two or more sides of a polygon come together. Each vertex has an associated angle formed by the sides meeting at that point.
6. Additional Concepts (may vary depending on the curriculum):
Open vs. Closed Curves: We already explored curves, but it's important to distinguish between open and closed ones. Open curves have two distinct endpoints and do not enclose an area. Imagine a curved path that starts and stops at two different points, not forming a complete loop. In contrast, closed curves form a complete loop, enclosing a region within them. Think of a circle or a square – they have no endpoints and completely surround an area.
Diagonals: Line segments that connect non-consecutive vertices within a polygon (optional). Not all polygons have diagonals, but some (like quadrilaterals) can have them. Imagine drawing a line segment within a square to connect opposite corners – that's a diagonal.
Symmetry: A property where a shape can be divided into two equal halves in a specific way. There are two main types of symmetry:
Reflective Symmetry: Imagine folding the shape in half along a line, and the two halves perfectly overlap. This line is called the axis of symmetry.
Rotational Symmetry: Imagine rotating the shape around a fixed point, and it looks exactly the same after a certain angle of rotation. This angle is called the rotational symmetry angle.
7. Exploring Relationships:
This chapter likely encourages you to visualize and analyze shapes, identify their properties, and understand how they relate to each other. You might learn about:
Classifying polygons based on their number of sides.
Identifying and measuring angles within polygons.
Recognizing symmetrical shapes and understanding the different types of symmetry.
Simple constructions using basic tools like rulers and compasses (optional).
1. What is the disadvantage in comparing line segment by metre observation?
Ans : Our eyes aren't great at judging small differences in line segment lengths. Meter observation only tells us the length, not position or direction. For accurate measurements and additional information, we rely on rulers.
2. Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?
Ans :
Ruler Thickness: Ruler width can cause slight errors in reading the exact length. Dividers have sharp points for precise endpoint marking. Awkward Placement: Dividers can be adjusted to fit any line segment location, unlike rulers limited by their edge.
3. Draw any line segment, say
AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB?
[Note: If A, B, C are any three points on a line such AC + CB = AB, then we can be sure that C lies between A and B]
Ans : Yes, if you draw any line segment AB and take any point C lying between A and B, then measuring the lengths will confirm that AB = AC + CB.
4. If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
Ans : In this scenario, B lies between A and C.
Here's why:
We are given that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm, and AC = 8 cm.
If C were between A and B, then the total length of AC would be the sum of AB and BC (AC = AB + BC). However, this is not the case here (8 cm ≠ 5 cm + 3 cm).
On the other hand, if B is between A and C, then the total length of AC would be the sum of AB and BC (AC = AB + BC). In this case, it holds true (8 cm = 5 cm + 3 cm).
Therefore, based on the property that the whole length of a line segment is the sum of the lengths of its two segments when a point divides it, we can confirm that B lies between A and C.
One full revolution corresponds to 12 hours movement on the clock face.
Half a revolution (1/2) is equal to 12 hours / 2 = 6 hours.
Therefore, the hour hand will stop at 6.
(b) Starts at 2 and makes 1/2 revolution, clockwise:
Following the same logic as above:
Half a revolution is equal to 6 hours.
Since the hand starts at 2 and moves 6 hours clockwise, it will end at 8.
(c) Starts at 5 and makes 1/2 revolution, clockwise:
Half a revolution is equal to 6 hours.
The hand starts at 5 and moves 6 hours clockwise. However, there are only 7 hours (including 5) on the clock face before reaching 12 again. So, the hand will move past the 12 and continue for another hour.
Therefore, it will stop at 1.
(d) Starts at 5 and makes 1/2 revolution, clockwise (duplicate):
The answer for (d) is the same as (c). Starting at 5 and making 1/2 revolution clockwise will end the hand at 1.
3. Which direction will you face if you start facing
(a) east and make 1/2 of a revolution clockwise? z
(b ) east and make 1 1/2 of a revolution clockwise? z
(c) west and make 3/4 of a revolution anticlockwise?
(d) south and make one full revolution? (Should we specify clockwise or anticlockwise for this last question? Why not?)
Ans :
(a) East and make 1/2 of a revolution clockwise:
One full revolution is 360 degrees.
Half a revolution (1/2) is equal to 360 degrees / 2 = 180 degrees.
Since clockwise represents a right turn, 180 degrees from facing east will put you facing west.
(b) East and make 1 1/2 of a revolution clockwise:
One and a half revolutions (1 ½) is equal to 1 full revolution (1) + half a revolution (½).
(d) In this case, making a full revolution (360 degrees) from facing south will return you to facing south. Since a complete rotation brings you back to the original position, the direction of rotation (clockwise or anticlockwise) doesn't matter for a full circle.
4. What part of a revolution have you turned through if you stand facing
(a) east and turn clockwise to face north?
(b) south and turn clockwise to face east?
(c) west and turn clockwise to face east?
Ans :
(a) East and turn clockwise to face north:
Standing east and facing north requires a turn of 90 degrees clockwise.
Examine whether the following are polygons. If any one among them is not, say why?
Ans :
Shape (a) – Square: This is a polygon. It's a quadrilateral (four sides) with all sides equal in length and all angles right angles (90 degrees). It's a specific type of polygon called a square.
Shape (b) – Hexagon: This is a polygon. It's a hexagon (six sides) with all sides equal in length and all angles presumably measuring 120 degrees (though it's difficult to say for sure from the image).
Shape (c) – Circle: This is not a polygon because it's a curved shape, not made of straight lines.
Shape (d) – Cone: This is not a polygon because it's a 3D shape, not a flat two-dimensional shape.
2. Name the polygon.
Make two more examples of each of these.
Ans :
(a) A quadrilateral Examples:
(b) A Triangle Examples:
(c) A Pantagon Examples:
(d) A Octagon Examples:
3. Draw a rough sketch of a regular hexagon. Connecting any three of its vertices, draw a triangle. Identify the type of the triangle you have drawn.
Ans :
ABCDEF is a rough sketch of a regular hexagon. If we join any three vertices like D, A and B, we get a scalene triangle DAB. But if we join the alternate vertices, we get an equilateral triangle EAC.
4. Draw a rough sketch of a regular octagon. (Using squared paper if you wish). Draw a rectangle by joining exactly four of the vertices of the octagon.
Ans :
ABCDEFGH is a rough sketch of regular octagon. GHCD is the rectangle formed by joining the four vertices of the given octagon.
5. A diagonal is a line segment that joins any two vertices of the polygon and is not a side of the polygon. Draw a rough sketch of a pentagon and draw its diagonals. | 677.169 | 1 |

When learning about transformations, rotations were mentioned and used briefly. In this lesson, rotations will be studied more deeply by analyzing the relationships between a pointQ and its imageQ′ under a rotation.
Catch-Up and Review
Here are a few recommended readings before getting started with this lesson.
Rotating a Triangle About a Center
Change the triangle and perform the same process. What can be said about rotations? Does the conclusion depend on the position of P relative to the triangle?
Discussion
Rotations Along Circles
The first exploration shows the preimage and the image of a point under a rotation are the same distance from the center of rotation. That is, the image moves along a circle passing through the preimage and centered at the center of rotation.
The second exploration shows that after performing a rotation, the angles formed by each preimage, the center of rotation, and the corresponding image all have the same measure. With these properties in mind, rotations can be properly defined.
Discussion
Defining a Rotation
Identifying whether one figure is the image of another figure under rotation can be difficult. A key aspect to observe is whether the center of rotation is the same distance from an image as it is from its preimage.
Concept
Rotation of Geometric Objects
A rotation is a transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed pointP. The number of degrees the figure rotates α∘ is the angle of rotation. The fixed point P is called the center of rotation. Rotations map every point A in the plane to its imageA′ such that one of the following statements is satisfied.
If A is the center of rotation, then A and A′ are the same point.
If A is not the center of rotation, then A and A′ are equidistant from P, with ∠APA′ measuring α∘.
Rotations are usually performed counterclockwise unless stated otherwise.
Since rotations preserve side lengths and angle measures, they are rigid motions.
Example
Identifying Rotations
Consider the following three triangles and a pointP. Use the given measuring tool to find the distance from each vertex to P and the angles formed by each preimage, the point P, and the corresponding image.
Which of the triangles, △A′B′C′ or △A′′B′′C′′, is the image of △ABC under a rotation about P?
Hint
Remember, after performing a rotation, the preimage and the image of a point are the same distance from the center of rotation. The angle of rotation is formed by a preimage, the center of rotation, and the corresponding image.
Solution
Remember that, after performing a rotation, the preimage and the image of a point are the same distance from the center of rotation. Then, start by finding the distances between each vertex and P.
Notice that the vertices of △A′B′C′ are further from P than the vertices of △ABC. Consequently, △A′B′C′ cannot be the image of △ABC under a rotation about P. Next, find and compare the measures of ∠APA′,∠BPB′, and ∠CPC′.
As can be seen, ∠APA′,∠BPB′, and ∠CPC′ have all the same measure, which is 150∘ when measured counterclockwise or 210∘ when measured clockwise. Therefore, △A′′B′′C′′ is the image of △ABC under a rotation about P. The angle of rotation is either 150∘ or 210∘.
The protractor is placed as illustrated above when the rotation is counterclockwise. If the rotation has to be done clockwise, the protractor needs to be placed as follows.
3
Mark the Desired Angle
expand_more
Locate the corresponding measure on the protractor and make a small mark. In this case, the mark will be made at 130∘.
4
Draw a Ray
expand_more
Using the straightedge, draw a ray with starting point P that passes through the mark made in the previous step.
5
Draw Point A′
expand_more
Place the compass tip on P and open it to the distance between P and A. Without changing this setting and keeping the point of the compass at P, draw a small arc centered at P that intersects the ray drawn before.
The intersection of the ray and the arc is the imageA′ after the give rotation.
Notice that this method of construction has also confirmed that PA is congruent to PA′.
Example
Rotating a Triangle
On a geometry test, Ignacio was asked to perform a 70∘ counterclockwise rotation to △ABC about pointP.
Answer
Hint
Rotate the vertices of △ABC one at a time. Then, draw the triangle formed by the three images.
Solution
To rotate △ABC, the rotation can be performed on each vertex, one at a time. For example, start by rotating A. To do so, first draw PA using a straightedge.
Then, place the center of the protractor on P and align it with PA in such a way that the rotation is counterclockwise. Then, make a small mark at 70∘.
Next, draw a ray with starting point P that passes through the mark made before.
Finally, place the compass tip on P and open the compass to the distance between P and A. With this setting, make an arc that intersects the ray. The intersection point is the image of A under the rotation.
Vertices B and C can be rotated following the same steps.
Finally, the image of △ABC under the given rotation is the triangle formed by A′,B′, and C′.
Pop Quiz
Practice Rotations
Rotate △ABC about pointP by the specified angle measure. To do so, place points A′,B′, and C′ where they should be after the rotation. Use the measuring tool if needed.
Answer
Angle of Rotation:120∘ clockwise or 240∘ counterclockwise. Graph:
Hint
Remember that the center of rotation is equidistant from the preimage and the image of each vertex. Use the Converse Perpendicular Bisector Theorem. The center is the intersection point between two perpendicular bisectors.
Solution
The first step is to find the center of rotation. Remember, by definition, a point and its image under a rotation are the same distance from the center.
To determine the center's exact position, draw a second segment joining a vertex and its image, for example, DD′. Then, draw the perpendicular bisector of this segment. The intersection between both perpendicular bisectors is the center of rotation.
Notice that drawing only two perpendicular bisectors is enough to find the center of rotation because all will intersect at the same point. Since the sense of rotation was not specified, both measures will be found using a protractor.
The angle of rotation is either 240∘ counterclockwise or 120∘ clockwise.
Extra
If the point is not placed close enough to the center of rotation, when the Check Answer button is pushed, a red area is highlighted indicating the region where the center of rotation is located.
Example
Performing a Composition of Rotations
Recall that rotations are transformations and that transformations can be composed. Therefore, it is possible to have a composition of two or more rotations. On a geometry exercise, the following two rotations are given.
R1:90∘ counterclockwise rotation about C1(0,0).
R2:180∘ counterclockwise rotation about C2(0,-1).
LaShay has to perform both rotations to △ABC, one after the other, but the book does not indicate the composition's order.
According to the book, the correct coordinates of B′′ are (2,-1). Knowing this, help LaShay to find the coordinates of C′′ and draw △A′′B′′C′′.
Answer
Hint
Recall that a 90∘ counterclockwise rotation about the origin maps point(a,b) onto (-b,a).
Solution
Start by applying any of the given two rotations. For example, apply R1 first. Notice it is a 90∘ counterclockwise rotation about the origin. Then, it maps (a,b) onto (-b,a). Knowing this, the image of A,B, and C can be quickly found.
Next, apply R2 to △A′B′C′. Remember, it is a 180∘ counterclockwise rotation about C2(0,-1).
Since the coordinates of B′′ are the same as the book says, the rotations were applied in the correct order. Consequently, the coordinates of C′′ are (4,1). Notice that applying the rotations in the reverse order would produce a different image.
Discussion
Composition of Rotations About Different Centers
Think about the preimage and the final image obtained by LaShay in the previous example. Is it possible to map △ABC onto △A′′B′′C′′ performing only one rotation? The answer is yes! A 270∘ counterclockwise rotation about (-1,-1) does it.
In general, the composition of two rotations is a rotation, except if the sum of their angles of rotation is a multiple of 360∘. Investigate what happens in this case by using the following applet.
Place the centers A and B at any place within the square formed by the axes and the point (-1,1).
The slider on the left performs a rotation about point A and the slider on the right performs a rotation about point B.
Perform rotations such that the sum of their angles of rotation equals 360∘.
Compare the preimage and the image.
As might be checked, if the angles of rotation add up to 360∘, the final image is not a rotation of the original preimage but a translation.
Closure
Rotations in Real Life
In real life, there are plenty of situations where rotations can be appreciated. For instance, take a look at a door.
To open a door, the handle must be rotated.
To lock or unlock it, a key must be inserted and rotated.
While the door is opening, it rotates around the hinges.
Other examples can be found in the human body, such as joints. What happens when elbows move? They act as a center of rotation, allowing the forearm to be moved. Before moving on from this lesson, take a look around and identify some other rotations! | 677.169 | 1 |

Given three Cartesian coordinates, the task is to check if a right-angled triangle can be formed by the given coordinates. If it is possible to create a right-angled triangle, print Yes. Otherwise, print No.
Approach: The idea is to use the Pythagoras Theorem to check if a right-angled triangle is possible or not. Calculate the length of the three sides of the triangle by joining the given coordinates. Let the sides be A, B, and C. The given triangle is right-angled if and only if A2 + B2 = C2. Print Yes if the condition holds true. Otherwise, print No. | 677.169 | 1 |
Students will practice finding the exact value of a trigonometric function by using the Sum and Difference of Angles Identities with this "Triples" Activity. Some angles are given in degrees and some are given in radians. Both positive and negative angle measures are included.
Students find the exact value for each of the 24 cards using the identities, then look for the matching "triples". There will be 8 sets of three cards, each having the same answer. I recommend that students work in groups of 3-4 on this activity. They can show their work directly on the back of the card, or on a separate sheet of paper if you prefer. Once they are finished, I have my students staple their "triples" together and place in a zip-lock bag.
An answer key is included to ensure the correct cards are matched good challenge for my precalculus students. They worked in small groups to complete this task.

Euclid's Elements of Geometry: Chiefly from the Text of Dr. Simson ...
Let this circle be described, and let O be its center; join 40, OD: then OD is at right angles to AE, (Euc. III. 3.)
and ADO is a right-angled triangle.
Hence the semicircle described on 40 as a diameter will pass through the point D, (Euc. III. 31.)
Therefore the point D is determined to be that point in the base, where the circumference of the semicircle described upon the radius of the circumscribing circle of the triangle, intersects the base.
If the circle be completed, it will intersect the base in another point G, so that AG is also a mean proportional between BG and G.C.
Synthesis. Describe a circle about the given triangle ABC, and let O be the center: join 40, and on 40 as a diameter describe a semicircle ADO intersecting the base BC in D, join AD, then AD is a mean proportional between AD and DB.
Produce AD to meet the circumference in E, and join OD. Then because OD is at right angles to AE, and is drawn from the center 0,
therefore AD is equal to DE. (Euc. III. 3.)
And because AE, BC intersect each other within the circle; the rectangle BD, DC is equal to the rectangle AD, DE, (Euc. III. 35.) but DE is equal to AD,
therefore the rectangle BD, DC is equal to the square on AD: and AD is a mean proportional between BD and DČ. (Euc. VI. 17.) If AG be joined, then AG can be shewn to be a mean proportional between BG and GC; which is a second solution of the Problem.
Cor. 1. If the given triangle ABC become right-angled at A, the center of the circle will bisect the base BC, and the lines AD, AG will coincide at the second point D, where the circle cuts the base BC, and be at right angles to BC, and AD will be a mean proportional between BD and DC.
COR. 2. If the triangle ABC be acute-angled at A, the problem is impossible; as it is obvious that the circle which circumscribes the triangle ABC, will have its center ✪ within the triangle, and the semicircle described upon the radius 40 as a diameter cannot intersect the base BC of the triangle.
If, however, a tangent AD be drawn to touch the circumscribing circle at the point 4, and CB be produced to meet the tangent AD in the point D the rectangle contained by DC, DB is equal to the square on DA: (Euc. III. 36.) and DA is a mean proportional between DC and DB (Eue. vI. 17.) Hence a straight line AD has been drawn from 4, an angle of an acute-angled triangle to meet the base BC produced in D, so that AD is a mean proportional between CD and DB.

Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry Topic Index | Geometry Index | Regents Exam Prep Center Euclidean Geometry(the high school geometry we all know and love) is the study of geometry based on definitions, undefined terms (point, line and plane) and the assumptions of the mathematician Euclid (330 B.C.) Euclid's textElemen ts was the first sy stematic discussion of g eometr y . While many of Eucl id's fi ndings had b een previously stated b y earlier Greek mathematicians, Euclid is credited with developing the first comprehensive deductive system. Euclid's approach to geometry consis ted of proving all theo rems f rom a finite number of postul ates (axioms ). Euclidean Geometry is the study offlat space. W e can easily illustrate these geometrical concepts by drawing on a flat piece of paper or chalkboard. In f lat space, we know such concepts as: the shortest distance between two points is one unique straight line. the sum of the angles in any triangle equals 180 degrees. the concept of perpendicular to a line can be illustrated as seen in the picture at the right. In his text, Euclid stated his fifth postulate, the famous parallel postulate, in the following manner: If a straig ht line crossing two straig ht lines makes the interior angles on t he same side less than two right angles, the two straig ht lines, if ex tended indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles. Today, we know the parallel postulate as simply stating: Through a point not on a line, there is no more than one line parallel to the line. The concepts in Euclid's geom etry remained unchall enged until the early 19th century. At that time, other forms of g eometry s tarted t o emerg e, called n on-Eu clidean geometri es. It was no longer assumed that Euclid's geometry could be used to describe all physical space.

Let AEB be a semicircle on AB as
diameter, and let AC, BD be equal lengths measured along AB from
A, B respectively. On AC, BD as diameters describe semicircles
on the side towards E, and on CD as diameter a semicircle on the
opposite side. The figure included between the circumferences of
the four semicircles is "what Archimedes called salinon". Let the perpendicular to AB through O, the center
of the first semicircle, meet the opposite semicircles in E, F
respectively. Then shall the area of the salinon be equal to the area of
the circle on EF as diameter. | 677.169 | 1 |

Text solutionVerified
Sure, here are step-by-step solutions for the problem:
1. Find the distance between B and C:
dBC=∣C−B∣=∣(−2)−5∣=∣−7∣=7
2. Find the distance between C and D:
dCD=∣D−C∣=∣(−8)−(−2)∣=∣−6∣=6
3. Find the distance between B and D:
dBD=∣D−B∣=∣(−8)−5∣=∣−13∣=13
4. Use the triangle inequality theorem to check if B, C, and D form a triangle:
dBC+dCD=7+6=13≥dBD
Since the sum of the two smaller sides is greater than the largest side, B, C, and D do form a triangle.
5. Find the perimeter of triangle BCD:
PBCD=dBC+dCD+dBD=7+6+13=26
Therefore, the perimeter of triangle BCD is 26. | 677.169 | 1 |

Pythagoras Theorem
Here we will learn about Pythagoras theorem, including how to find sides of a right-angled triangle and how to use Pythagoras theorem to check if a triangle has a right angle or not.
There are also Pythagoras theorem worksheets based on Edexcel, AQA and OCR exam questions, along with further guidance on where to go next if you're still stuck.
What is Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the longest side of a right angled triangle (called the hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Pythagoras theorem is:
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
Side c is known as the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a right-angled triangle and is opposite the right angle. Side a and side b are known as the adjacent sides because they are adjacent (next to) the right angle.
If we know any two sides of a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to work out the length of the third side.
We can only use Pythagoras theorem with right-angled triangles.
E.g. Let's look at this right-angled triangle:
We can see that three squares have been drawn next to each of the sides of the triangle. The area of the square with side length 3 = 3 \times 3=3^2=9 The area of the square with side length 4 = 4\times 4=4^2=16 The area of the square with side length 5 = 5\times5=5^2=25
We can see that when we add together the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides we get the area of the square on the longest side.
\[9+16=25\]
We can see that when we square the lengths of the two shorter sides of a right angled triangle and add them together, we get the square of the longest side.
\[3^2+4^2=5^2\]
3, 4, 5 is known as a Pythagorean triple. There are other Pythagorean triples such as 5, 12, 13 and 8, 15, 17 .
Pythagoras theorem only works with right-angled triangles. So because,
\[6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2\]
The sides of the triangles fit with Pythagoras theorem. Therefore the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
Common misconceptions
Make sure you identify the hypotenuse
It is very important to make sure that the hypotenuse is correctly identified and labelled c . You can find the hypotenuse by identifying the side which is opposite the right angle.
Right-angled triangles may be in different orientations
The triangles can be drawn in different orientations. E.g.
Lengths of sides do not have to be whole numbers
Lengths can be decimals, fractions or even irrational numbers such as surds,
E.g. \sqrt{2} .
Right-angled triangles
Pythagoras theorem only works on right-angle triangles, however we can sometimes calculate the lengths of other triangles by splitting them into right angled triangles. E.g. An isosceles triangle can be made into 2 right-angled triangles by putting in the line of symmetry.
Pythagoras theorem can also be applied to other shapes
An application ofPythagoras theorem is to extend it to work on other shapes such as a trapezium.
Do not round too early
If you need to use Pythagoras theorem in a question with multiple steps, do not round until the very end of the question or you will lose accuracy. For example, you may need to find the height of a triangle, and then use that height to find its area.
This is NOT correct. Pythagoras' theorem only works with right-angled triangles.
Therefore the triangle is NOT a right-angled triangle.

Right triangle
Here you will learn about right triangles, including what a right triangle is and how to solve problems with right triangles.
Students first learn about right triangles in the 4th grade with their work in geometry.
What is a right triangle?
A right triangle is a type of triangle that has one right angle ( 90^{\circ} angle).
The two sides of the triangle that meet at the right angle are perpendicular. In this case, side AB is perpendicular to side BC so angle B is 90^{\circ}.
A right angle is 90^{\circ} and it is symbolized using a small square inside the angle at the vertex.
The longest side of the right triangle is called the hypotenuse . It is the side opposite to the right angle.
As you move into secondary school and study geometry, triangles are one of the most common shapes to recognize for angles in parallel lines , circle theorems , interior angles , trigonometry , Pythagoras' theorem and many more.
Grade 4 – Geometry (4.G.A.2) Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
Grade 5 – Geometry (5.G.B.3) Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category.
How to solve problems involving right angle triangles
In order to identify right triangles:
Recall the definition.
Explain how the triangle fits or does not fit the definition.
[FREE] Triangles Check for Understanding Quiz (Grade 4 to 5)
Use this quiz to check your grade 4 to 5 students' understanding of triangles. 10+ questions with answers covering a range of 4th and 5th grade triangle topics to identify areas of strength and support!
Right triangle examples
Example 1: identifying right triangles.
Is the triangle a right triangle?
A right triangle has one right angle (90^{\circ}).
2 Explain how the triangle fits or does not fit the definition.
There is one angle that appears to be 90^{\circ}. Measuring the angle on the protractor, it measures to be 90^{\circ}. So, the triangle is a right triangle.
Example 2: identifying right triangles
There does not appear to be any angle that looks 90^{\circ}. The angle looks obtuse and measures to be 110^{\circ}. The other two angles are acute. So the triangle is not a right triangle.
Example 3: identifying right triangles
Is triangle ABC a right triangle if side AB is perpendicular to side BC?
Perpendicular lines intersect (meet) to form a right angle.
Since AB and BC are perpendicular, a right angle (90^{\circ}) is formed at B.
Triangle ABC is a right triangle.
Example 4: identifying right triangles
Ana drew a triangle where two of the sides of the triangle are perpendicular. Is the triangle Ana drew a right triangle?
The triangle Ana drew is a right triangle because there is a right angle (90^{\circ}).
Example 5: identifying right triangles
Is the triangle below a right scalene triangle or a right isosceles triangle?
A scalene right triangle is a right triangle where the sides of a triangle have no equal sides and no equal angles.
The triangle has one right angle and three sides that have different measures. So, the right triangle is a right scalene triangle.
Example 6: identifying right triangles
A right isosceles triangle is a right triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles.
The triangle has a right angle with two sides that are marked as equal and two angles that are marked as equal, so the triangle is a right isosceles triangle.
Teaching tips for right triangles
Have students use manipulatives to investigate triangle properties.
Facilitate learning opportunities like projects where students can see how right triangles are used in the real world.
Integrate drawing activities where students can use rulers and protractors.
Easy mistakes to make
Confusing angle facts Make sure to recall that an acute angle is an angle greater than 0^{\circ} and less than 90^{\circ}; obtuse angle is an angle 90^{\circ} and less than 180^{\circ}; and a right angle is equal to 90^{\circ}.
Thinking that if an angle looks like it's \bf{90°} then it is a right angle In geometry, the angle has to be marked as 90^{\circ} or you have to measure it to be 90^{\circ} to be certain that it is a right angle.

Right triangle FAQs
The Pythagorean theorem is a formula that shows the relationship of the side lengths of right triangles, a^2+b^2=c^2 where the sum of (side a ) ^2 and (side b ) ^2 is equal to (hypotenuse c ) ^2. (The sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.) You will learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem in 8th grade.
Trigonometry is the study of triangles. In trigonometry, you learn more about right triangles and the ratio of the sides of a right triangle – sine, cosine, and tangent. You will also learn about trigonometric functions.
A Pythagorean triple is composed of three positive integers that work in the Pythagorean theorem. For example, the numbers 3, 4, 5 are considered a Pythagorean triple because the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the 3^2+4^2=5^2 → 9+16 =25.
Special right triangles will be a topic you explore in high school. There are two special right triangles. The first one is an isosceles right triangle or 45-45-90 triangle. The other one is a scalene right triangle, or 30-60-90 triangle.
The way you find the area of a right triangle is the same way you find the area of oblique triangles. You can use the formula for the area of the triangle, A=\cfrac{1}{2} \, \cdot b \cdot h.
Angles can be measured in two different units, degrees or radians. You will learn how to measure angles in radians in high school.
You find the perimeter of a right triangle by adding up the length of the sides and the length of the hypotenuse, which is the largest side of the triangle.
Only right triangles have a side called the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side of the triangle.

Example 1 : Solve the right triangle shown in Figure (b) if ∠ B = 22°
Because the three angles of a triangle must add up to 180°, ∠ A = 90 ∠ B thus ∠ A = 68°.
The following is an alternate way to solve for sides a and c:
This alternate solution may be easier because no division is involved.
Example 2 : Solve the right triangle shown in Figure (b) if b = 8 and a = 13.
You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side, but trigonometric relationships are used instead. The two missing angle measurements will be found first and then the missing side.

Example 4: A ladder must reach the top of a building. The base of the ladder will be 25′ from the base of the building. The angle of elevation from the base of the ladder to the top of the building is 64°. Find the height of the building (h) and the length of the ladder ( m ).
Figure 4 illustrates the conditions of this problem.
Example 5: A woodcutter wants to determine the height of a tall tree. He stands at some distance from the tree and determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the tree is 40°. He moves 30′ closer to the tree, and now the angle of elevation is 50°. If the woodcutter's eyes are 5′ above the ground, how tall is the tree?
Figure 5 can help you visualize the problem.
From the small right triangle and from the large right triangle, the following relationships are evident:
Substituting the first equation in the second yields:
Note that 5′ must be added to the value of x to get the height of the tree, or 90.06′ tall.
Example 6: Using Figure 6, find the length of sides x and y and the area of the large triangle.
Because this is an isosceles triangle, and equal sides are opposite equal angles, the values of x and y are the same. If the triangle is divided into two right triangles, the base of each will be 6. Therefore,
Introduction
A triangle has six parts: three sides and three angles. In a right triangle, we know that one of the angles is [latex]90 {^o}\text{.}[/latex] If we know three parts of a right triangle, including one of the sides, we can use trigonometry to find all the other unknown parts. This is called solving the triangle.
Example 2.31.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 150 feet long, and one of the angles is [latex]35 {^o}\text{,}[/latex] as shown in the figure. Solve the triangle.
We can find the side opposite the 35° angle by using the sine ratio. [latex]\begin{align*} \sin 35 {^o} = \dfrac {\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\ 0.5736 = \dfrac{a}{150}\\ a = 150(0.5736) = 86.04 \end{align*}[/latex] The opposite side is about 86 feet long. To find side [latex]b[/latex], we could use the Pythagorean theorem now, but it is better to use given information, rather than values we have calculated, to find the other unknown parts. We will use the cosine ratio. [latex]\begin{align*} \cos 35 {^o} = \dfrac {\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\ 0.8192 = \dfrac{b}{150}\\ b = 150(0.8192) = 122.89 \end{align*}[/latex] The adjacent side is about [latex]123[/latex] feet long. Finally, the unknown angle is the complement of [latex]35 {^o}\text{,}[/latex] or [latex]55 {^o}\text{.}[/latex]
Checkpoint 2.32.
Sketch a right triangle with
one angle of [latex]37 {^o}\text{,}[/latex] and
the side adjacent to that angle of length 5 centimeters.
Without doing the calculations, list the steps you would use to solve the triangle.
Use tan [latex]37{^o}[/latex] to find the opposite side. Use cos [latex]37{^o}[/latex] to find the hypotenuse. Subtract [latex]37{^o}[/latex] from [latex]90{^o}[/latex] to find the third angle.
Finding an Angle
While watching her niece at the playground, Francine wonders how steep the slide is. She happens to have a tape measure and her calculator with her and finds that the slide is 77 inches high and covers a horizontal distance of 136 inches, as shown below.
Francine knows that one way to describe the steepness of an incline is to calculate its slope, which in this case is [latex]\begin{equation*} \dfrac {\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{77}{136} = 0.5662 \end{equation*}[/latex] However, Francine would really like to know what angle the slide makes with the horizontal. She realizes that the slope she has just calculated is also the tangent of the angle she wants.
If we know the tangent of an angle, can we find the angle? Yes, we can: locate the key labeled [latex]\boxed{\text{TAN}^{-1}}[/latex] on your calculator; it is probably the second function above the TAN key. Enter [latex]\qquad\qquad\qquad[/latex] 2nd TAN 0.5662
and you should find that [latex]\begin{equation*} \text{tan}^{-1} 0.5662 = 29.52 {^o}\text{.} \end{equation*}[/latex] This means that [latex]29.52 {^o}[/latex] is the angle whose tangent is [latex]0.5662\text{.}[/latex] We read the notation as " inverse tangent of [latex]0.5662[/latex] is [latex]29.52[/latex] degrees."
When we find [latex]\tan^{-1}[/latex] of a number, we are finding an angle whose tangent is that number. Similarly, [latex]\sin^{-1}[/latex] and [latex]cos^{-1}[/latex] are read as "inverse sine" and "inverse cosine." They find an angle with the given sine or cosine.
Example 2.33.
Find the angle whose sine is [latex]0.6834\text{.}[/latex]
Enter 2nd SIN 0.6834 into your calculator to find [latex]\begin{equation*} \sin^{-1} 0.6834 = 43.11{^o} \end{equation*}[/latex] So [latex]43.11{^o}[/latex] is the angle whose sine is [latex]0.6834\text{.}[/latex] Or we can say that [latex]\begin{equation*} \sin 43.11{^o} = 0.6834 \end{equation*}[/latex] You can check the last equation on your calculator.
Caution 2.35.
The notation [latex]\sin^{-1} x[/latex] does not mean [latex]\dfrac{1}{\sin x}\text{.}[/latex] It is true that we use negative exponents to indicate reciprocals of numbers; for example, [latex]a^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{a}[/latex] and [latex]3^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{3}\text{.}[/latex] But "sin" by itself is not a variable.
The angle of inclination of the hill is about [latex]8.7{^o}\text{.}[/latex]
Checkpoint 2.38.
The tallest living tree is a coastal redwood named Hyperion, at 378.1 feet tall. If you stand 100 feet from the base of the tree, what is the angle of elevation of your line of sight to the top of the tree? Round your answer to the nearest degree.
[latex]75{^o}[/latex]
The Special Angles
The trigonometric ratios for most angles are irrational numbers, but there are a few angles whose trig ratios are "nice" values. You already know one of these values: the sine of [latex]30{^o}\text{.}[/latex] Because the sides of a right triangle are related by the Pythagorean theorem, if we know any one of the trig ratios for an angle, we can find the others. Recall that the side opposite a [latex]30{^o}[/latex] angle is half the length of the hypotenuse, so [latex]\sin 30{^o} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{.}[/latex]
The figure at right shows a 30-60-90 triangle with hypotenuse of length [latex]2[/latex]. The opposite side has length 1, and we can calculate the length of the adjacent side. [latex]\begin{align*} 1^2 + b^2 = 2^2 \\ b^2 = 2^2 - 1^2 = 3\\ b = \sqrt{3} \end{align*}[/latex]
Caution 2.39.
It is important for you to understand the difference between exact and approximate values. These decimal approximations, like nearly all the other trig values your calculator gives you, are rounded off. Even if your calculator shows you ten or twelve digits, the values are not exactly correct — although they are quite adequate for most practical calculations!
The angles [latex]30{^o}\text{,}[/latex] [latex]60{^o}\text{,}[/latex] and [latex]45{^o}[/latex] are "special" because we can easily find exact values for their trig ratios and use those exact values to find exact lengths for the sides of triangles with those angles.
Example 2.40.
The sides of an equilateral triangle are [latex]8[/latex] centimeters long. Find the exact length of the triangle's altitude, [latex]h\text{.}[/latex]
The altitude divides the triangle into two 30-60-90 right triangles as shown in the figure. The altitude is adjacent to the [latex]30{^o}[/latex] angle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 8 centimeters. Thus,
From this exact answer, we can find approximations to any degree of accuracy we like. You can check that [latex]4\sqrt{3} \approx6.9282\text{,}[/latex] so the altitude is approximately 6.9 centimeters long.
Checkpoint 2.41.
Use the figure in the previous example to find exact values for the sine, cosine, and tangent of [latex]60{^o}\text{.}[/latex]
There is one more special angle: [latex]45{^o}\text{.}[/latex] We find the trig ratios for this angle using an isosceles right triangle. Because the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal, they must both be [latex]45{^o}\text{.}[/latex] The figure shows an isosceles right triangle with equal sides of length 1. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to show that the hypotenuse has length [latex]\sqrt{2}\text{,}[/latex] so the trig ratios for [latex]45{^o}[/latex] are[latex]\begin{align*} \sin 45{^o} = \dfrac {\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.7071\\ \cos 45{^o} = \dfrac {\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.7071\\ \tan 45{^o} = \dfrac {\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = 1 \end{align*}[/latex]
The Trigonometric Ratios for the Special Angles
Here is a summary of the trig ratios for the special angles.
You should memorize the exact values for these trig ratios. A good way to remember them is to know the two special triangles shown below. From these triangles, you can always write down the three trig ratios for the special angles.
You should also be able to recognize their decimal approximations.
We can use the special angles as benchmarks for estimating and mental calculation. For example, we know that [latex]60{^o} \approx 0.8660\text{,}[/latex] so if sin [latex]\theta = 0.95[/latex] for some unknown angle [latex]\theta\text{,}[/latex] we know that [latex]\theta \gt 60{^o}\text{,}[/latex] because as [latex]\theta[/latex] increases from the sine of [latex]\theta[/latex] increases also.
Example 2.43.
If [latex]\cos \alpha \gt \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{,}[/latex] what can we say about [latex]\alpha\text{?}[/latex]
As an angle increases from [latex]0{^o}[/latex] to [latex]90{^o}\text{,}[/latex] its cosine decreases. Now, [latex]\cos 30{^o} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{,}[/latex] so if [latex]\cos \alpha \gt \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{,}[/latex] then [latex]\alpha[/latex] must be less than [latex]30{^o}\text{.}[/latex]
Checkpoint 2.44.
If [latex]1 \lt \tan \beta \lt \sqrt{3}\text{,}[/latex] what can we say about [latex]\beta\text{?}[/latex]

Chapter 4.2: Right Triangle Trigonometry
Using right triangle trigonometry to solve applied problems, using trigonometric functions.
In previous examples, we evaluated the sine and cosine in triangles where we knew all three sides. But the real power of right-triangle trigonometry emerges when we look at triangles in which we know an angle but do not know all the sides.
How To: Given a right triangle, the length of one side, and the measure of one acute angle, find the remaining sides.
For each side, select the trigonometric function that has the unknown side as either the numerator or the denominator. The known side will in turn be the denominator or the numerator.
Write an equation setting the function value of the known angle equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides.
Using the value of the trigonometric function and the known side length, solve for the missing side length.
Example 5: Finding Missing Side Lengths Using Trigonometric Ratios
Find the unknown sides of the triangle in Figure 11.
We know the angle and the opposite side, so we can use the tangent to find the adjacent side.
We rearrange to solve for [latex]a[/latex].
We can use the sine to find the hypotenuse.
Again, we rearrange to solve for [latex]c[/latex].
A right triangle has one angle of [latex]\frac{\pi }{3}[/latex] and a hypotenuse of 20. Find the unknown sides and angle of the triangle.
Right-triangle trigonometry has many practical applications. For example, the ability to compute the lengths of sides of a triangle makes it possible to find the height of a tall object without climbing to the top or having to extend a tape measure along its height. We do so by measuring a distance from the base of the object to a point on the ground some distance away, where we can look up to the top of the tall object at an angle. The angle of elevation of an object above an observer relative to the observer is the angle between the horizontal and the line from the object to the observer's eye. The right triangle this position creates has sides that represent the unknown height, the measured distance from the base, and the angled line of sight from the ground to the top of the object. Knowing the measured distance to the base of the object and the angle of the line of sight, we can use trigonometric functions to calculate the unknown height. Similarly, we can form a triangle from the top of a tall object by looking downward. The angle of depression of an object below an observer relative to the observer is the angle between the horizontal and the line from the object to the observer's eye.
How To: Given a tall object, measure its height indirectly.
Make a sketch of the problem situation to keep track of known and unknown information.
Lay out a measured distance from the base of the object to a point where the top of the object is clearly visible.
At the other end of the measured distance, look up to the top of the object. Measure the angle the line of sight makes with the horizontal.
Write an equation relating the unknown height, the measured distance, and the tangent of the angle of the line of sight.
Solve the equation for the unknown height.
Example 6: Measuring a Distance Indirectly
To find the height of a tree, a person walks to a point 30 feet from the base of the tree. She measures an angle of [latex]57^\circ [/latex] between a line of sight to the top of the tree and the ground, as shown in Figure 13. Find the height of the tree.
We know that the angle of elevation is [latex]57^\circ [/latex] and the adjacent side is 30 ft long. The opposite side is the unknown height.
The trigonometric function relating the side opposite to an angle and the side adjacent to the angle is the tangent. So we will state our information in terms of the tangent of [latex]57^\circ [/latex], letting [latex]h[/latex] be the unknown height.
The tree is approximately 46 feet tall.
How long a ladder is needed to reach a windowsill 50 feet above the ground if the ladder rests against the building making an angle of [latex]\frac{5\pi }{12}[/latex] with the ground? Round to the nearest foot.

With its distinctive form defined by one right angle , the right triangle holds a special place in various fields, including mathematics, physics, engineering , and architecture . Its elegant proportions and inherent properties make it a fundamental building block for constructing complex structures and solving intricate problems.
We set off on a tour into the fascinating world of the right triangle in this essay , exploring its unique characteristics , fundamental principles , Pythagorean theorem , and practical applications . By unraveling the secrets of this geometric marvel, we aim to shed light on the profound impact of right triangles in shaping the foundations of theoretical knowledge and real-world structures.
A right triangle is a geometric shape that is defined by its specific properties. It is a triangle that contains one right angle , which measures 90 degrees . The right angle is formed by the intersection of two sides, known as the legs , and it is always opposite the longest side of the triangle, called the hypotenuse .
The other two angles in a right triangle are acute , or less than 90 degrees . The two sharp angles in a right triangle must add up to 90 degrees since the total angle in any triangle is always 180 degrees . Below is the generic diagram for a right triangle.
Figure-1: Generic right triangle.
The Pythagorean theorem is one of the basic concepts related to right triangles. The square of the lengths of the two legs in a right triangle must equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse , according to this theorem. This can be mathematically represented as $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$, "c" being the length of the hypotenuse and "a" and "b" being the lengths of the legs.
The historical background of the right triangle , a geometric shape, dates back to ancient cultures and was crucial in the growth of mathematics and several scientific fields. The concept of the right triangle can be traced back to Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt , where early civilizations recognized its special properties and utilized it in their architectural and surveying practices. The Egyptians, in particular, were skilled in geometry and used right triangles in their construction projects, such as the pyramids.
The study of right triangles flourished in Ancient Greece , with renowned mathematicians such as Pythagoras making significant contributions. Pythagoras' Theorem states that the hypotenuse's square is equal to the sum of its two other sides' squares. according to Pythagoras' Theorem. became a fundamental principle in geometry and trigonometry. The theorem is named after Pythagoras, but similar ideas were known in other ancient cultures as well.
During the Islamic Golden Age (8th to 14th centuries), scholars like Al-Khwarizmi and Ibn al-Haytham further expanded their knowledge of right triangles and their properties. They contributed to advancements in trigonometry, introducing new concepts and techniques for solving problems involving right triangles.
In Renaissance Europe , mathematicians and astronomers such as Leonardo da Vinci , Johannes Kepler , and Galileo Galilei relied on right triangles and trigonometry to explore the principles of optics, planetary motion, and perspective in art.
The study of right triangles continued to progress through the Enlightenment and into the modern era, with the development of trigonometric functions and their applications in various scientific and engineering fields.
Today, the understanding of right triangles and their properties is an essential part of mathematics education . Right triangles find extensive use in fields such as engineering, physics, navigation, computer graphics, and surveying . Trigonometry , which heavily relies on right triangles, provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing and solving problems involving angles, distances , and relationships between sides .
Fundamental Properties
Certainly! Here are the properties of the right triangle , a geometric shape, explained in detail:
The most distinguishing property of a right triangle is the presence of a right angle . A right angle measures 90 degrees and is formed where two sides of the triangle meet to create a perpendicular intersection.
In a right triangle , the hypotenuse is the side that faces the right angle. It is the longest side of the triangle and is denoted by the letter c . The hypotenuse is directly across from the right angle and forms the base for many important relationships in right triangles.
The other two sides of the right triangle , which are adjacent to the right angle, are called the legs . They are denoted by the letters a and b . The lengths of the legs can vary and are crucial for calculating other properties of the triangle.
One of the fundamental properties of a right triangle is the Pythagorean theorem , named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras.The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs, according to this rule. In equation form, it is written as c² = a² + b² .
Right triangles can have specific ratios between their side lengths, resulting in special right triangles . The two most common special right triangles are the 45-45-90 triangle and the 30-60-90 triangle . In aIn aRight triangles can be used to determine whether two triangles are congruent (having identical side lengths and angles) or similar (having proportional side lengths and congruent angles).
Understanding these properties of the right triangle allows for a comprehensive exploration of its geometry , relationships between sides and angles, and practical applications . Right triangles and their properties serve as the basis for trigonometry , navigation , engineering , and countless other fields where accurate calculations involving angles and distances are required.
Related Formulas
Below are the related formulas of the right triangle , explained in detail:
One of the most important formulas for right triangles is the Pythagorean theorem . The hypotenuse is the side that forms the right angle, and the rule says that the square of its length is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In equation form, it is written as c² = a² + b² , where a and b are the lengths of the two legs, and c is the hypotenuse length.
Trigonometric functions are widely used in right triangles to relate the ratios of the side lengths to the angles within the triangle. The three primary trigonometric functions are:
The sine of an angle in a right triangle is the proportion of the length of the side directly across from the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.It is written as sin(A) = opposite / hypotenuse .
The ratio of the neighboring side's length to the hypotenuse's length is known as the cosine of an angle in a right triangle . It is written as cos(A) = adjacent / hypotenuse .
In a right triangle , the lengths of the adjacent and opposing sides are compared to determine the angle's tangent . It is written as tan(A) = opposite/adjacent .
Special right triangles , such as the 45-45-90 triangle and the 30-60-90 triangle , have specific formulas that relate to their side lengths. In a 45-45-90 triangle , the lengths of the two legs are equal, and the length of, and the greater leg is about √3 times longer than the shorter leg.
The formula to calculate the area of a right triangle is A = 0.5 × base × height , where the base and height are the lengths of the two legs. The base and height can be any two sides of the triangle as long as they form a right angle .
The total length of all the sides makes up a right triangle's perimeter . In a right triangle, the perimeter can be calculated by adding the lengths of the two legs and the hypotenuse: P = a + b + c .
There are three main types of right triangles based on the relationships between their sides and angles. Let's explore each type in detail:
An acute right triangle is a right triangle where both of the acute angles (the angles that are less than 90 degrees) are less than 45 degrees . In this type of triangle, the two legs are of different lengths, and the hypotenuse is the longest side. The Pythagorean theorem applies to acute right triangles, where c² = a² + b² . The acute right triangle is characterized by its sharp angles and is commonly encountered in mathematical problems and applications. Below is the diagram for an acute right triangle .
Figure-2: Acute right triangle.
An obtuse right triangle is a right triangle where one of the acute angles is greater than 45 degrees . The other acute angle remains less than 45 degrees , and the right angle is always 90 degrees . In an obtuse right triangle, the longest side is the one opposite the obtuse angle . The Pythagorean theorem also applies to obtuse right triangles, following the same formula as the acute right triangle. These triangles possess one larger angle , which gives them a distinct shape and characteristic. Below is the diagram for an obtuse right triangle .
Figure-3: Obtuse right triangle.
An isosceles right triangle is a right triangle where two of the sides, the legs , are of equal length. The remaining side, the hypotenuse , is always longer than the legs. In an isosceles right triangle, both of the acute angles are 45 degrees . The Pythagorean theorem is simplified for isosceles right triangles as c² = 2a² , where "a" denotes the length of the legs and "c" the length of the hypotenuse. Isosceles right triangles exhibit symmetry and are often used in geometric constructions and calculations. Below is the diagram for an isosceles right triangle .
Figure-4: Isosceles right triangle.
Understanding the types of right triangles is important as it provides insights into their specific characteristics and properties . These types allow for a classification of right triangles based on their angle measures and side lengths , enabling more precise analysis and problem-solving in various mathematical and practical contexts .

Find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with legs measuring 3 units and 4 units.
Given: Length of leg a = 3 units Length of leg b = 4 units
We can apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse: c² = a² + b² .
Substituting the given values:
c² = 3² + 4²
c² = 9 + 16
When we square the two sides, we discover:
c = 5 units
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle is 5 units .
Determine the length of a leg in a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 units and the other leg measuring 6 units.
Therefore, the length of the other leg in the right triangle is 12 units .
Find the measure of an acute angle in a right triangle if the lengths of the legs are 3 units and 4 units.
To find the measure of an acute angle, we can use trigonometric functions. Let's calculate the sine of the angle.
Using the formula: sin(A) = opposite / hypotenuse : sin(A) = 3 / 5
Taking the inverse sine (sin⁻¹) of both sides, we find:
A = sin⁻¹(3 / 5)
A ≈ 36.87 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the acute angle in the right triangle is approximately 36.87 degrees .
Calculate the perimeter of a right triangle with legs measuring 6 units and 8 units.
Given: Length of leg a = 6 units Length of leg b = 8 units
To find the perimeter P of a right triangle, we can add the lengths of all sides: P = a + b + c .
Since the perimeter is not given directly, the hypotenuse's length must be determined, using the Pythagorean theorem: c² = a² + b² .
c² = 6² + 8²
c² = 36 + 64
c = 10 units
Now we can calculate the perimeter:
P = 6 + 8 + 10
P = 24 units
Therefore, the perimeter of the right triangle is 24 units .
Determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, with one leg measuring 9 units and the other leg measuring 12 units.
Given: Length of leg a = 9 units Length of leg b = 12 units
We can apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse c:: c² = a² + b² .
c² = 9² + 12²
c² = 81 + 144
c = 15 units
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle is 15 units .
Find the area of a right triangle with a base of 12 units and a height of 5 units.
Given: Base b = 12 units Height h = 5 units
A = 0.5 × 12 × 5
A = 0.5 × 60
A = 30 square units
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 30 square units .

Right Triangle Word Problems
Once you've learned about trigonometric ratios (and their inverses), you can solve triangles. Naturally, many of these triangles will be presented in the context of word problems. A good first step, after reading the entire exercise, is to draw a right triangle and try to figure out how to label it. Once you've got a helpful diagram, the math is usually pretty straightforward.
A six-meter-long ladder leans against a building. If the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the ground, how far up the wall does the ladder reach? How far from the wall is the base of the ladder? Round your answers to two decimal places, as needed.
First, I'll draw a picture. It doesn't have to be good or to scale; it just needs to be clear enough that I can keep track of what I'm doing. My picture is:
To figure out how high up the wall the top of the ladder is, I need to find the height h of my triangle.
Since they've given me an angle measure and "opposite" and the hypotenuse for this angle, I'll use the sine ratio for finding the height:
sin(60°) = h/6
6 sin(60°) = h = 3sqrt[3]
Plugging this into my calculator, I get an approximate value of 5.196152423 , which I'll need to remember to round when I give my final answer.
For the base, I'll use the cosine ratio:
cos(60°) = b/6
6×cos(60°) = b = 3
Nice! The answer is a whole number; no radicals involved. I won't need to round this value when I give my final answer. Checking the original exercise, I see that the units are "meters", so I'll include this unit on my numerical answers:
ladder top height: about 5.20 m
ladder base distance: 3 m
Note: Unless you are told to give your answer in decimal form, or to round, or in some other way not to give an "exact" answer, you should probably assume that the "exact" form is what they're wanting. For instance, if they hadn't told me to round my numbers in the exercise above, my value for the height would have been the value with the radical.
A five-meter-long ladder leans against a wall, with the top of the ladder being four meters above the ground. What is the approximate angle that the ladder makes with the ground? Round to the nearest whole degree.
As usual, I'll start with a picture, using "alpha" to stand for the base angle:
They've given me the "opposite" and the hypotenuse, and asked me for the angle value. For this, I'll need to use inverse trig ratios.
sin(α) = 4/5
m(α) = sin −1 (4/5) = 53.13010235...
(Remember that m(α) means "the measure of the angle α".)
So I've got a value for the measure of the base angle. Checking the original exercise, I see that I am supposed to round to the nearest whole degree, so my answer is:
base angle: 53°
You use a transit to measure the angle of the sun in the sky; the sun fills 34' of arc. Assuming the sun is 92,919,800 miles away, find the diameter of the sun. Round your answer to the nearest whole mile.
First, I'll draw a picture, labelling the angle on the Earth as being 34 minutes, where minutes are one-sixtieth of a degree. My drawing is *not* to scale!:

Hmm... This "ice-cream cone" picture doesn't give me much to work with, and there's no right triangle.
The two lines along the side of my triangle measure the lines of sight from Earth to the sides of the Sun. What if I add another line, being the direct line from Earth to the center of the Sun?
Now that I've got this added line, I have a right triangle — two right triangles, actually — but I only need one. I'll use the triangle on the right.
(The angle measure , "thirty-four arc minutes", is equal to 34/60 degrees. Dividing this in half is how I got 17/60 of a degree for the smaller angle.)
I need to find the width of the Sun. That width will be twice the base of one of the right triangles. With respect to my angle, they've given me the "adjacent" and have asked for the "opposite", so I'll use the tangent ratio:
tan(17/60°) = b/92919800
92919800×tan(17/60°) = b = 459501.4065...
This is just half the width; carrying the calculations in my calculator (to minimize round-off error), I get a value of 919002.8129 . This is higher than the actual diameter, which is closer to 864,900 miles, but this value will suffice for the purposes of this exercise.
diameter: about 919,003 miles
A private plane flies 1.3 hours at 110 mph on a bearing of 40°. Then it turns and continues another 1.5 hours at the same speed, but on a bearing of 130°. At the end of this time, how far is the plane from its starting point? What is its bearing from that starting point? Round your answers to whole numbers.
The bearings tell me the angles from "due north", in a clockwise direction. Since 130 − 40 = 90 , these two bearings create a right angle where the plane turns. From the times and rates, I can find the distances travelled in each part of the trip:
1.3 × 110 = 143 1.5 × 110 = 165
Now that I have the lengths of the two legs, I can set up a triangle:
(The angle θ is the bearing, from the starting point, of the plane's location at the ending point of the exercise.)
I can find the distance between the starting and ending points by using the Pythagorean Theorem :
The 165 is opposite the unknown angle, and the 143 is adjacent, so I'll use the inverse of the tangent ratio to find the angle's measure:
165/143 = tan(θ)
tan −1 (165/143) = θ = 49.08561678...
But this angle measure is not the "bearing" for which they've asked me, because the bearing is the angle with respect to due north. To get the measure they're wanting, I need to add back in the original forty-degree angle:
distance: 218 miles
bearing: 89°

Similar Right Triangles Fully Explained w/ 9 Examples!
// Last Updated: January 21, 2020 - Watch Video //
In today's geometry lesson, you're going to learn all about similar right triangles.
More specifically, you're going to see how to use the geometric mean to create proportions, which in turn help us solve for missing side lengths.
Let's get started!
How are right triangles and the geometric mean related?
The two legs meet at a 90° angle, and the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle and is the longest side.
Right Triangle Diagram
The geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b is:
Geometric Mean of Two Numbers
And the geometric mean helps us find the altitude of a right triangle! In fact, the geometric mean, or mean proportionals, appears in two critical theorems on right triangles.
Geometric Mean Theorems
In a right triangle, if the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments, then the length of the altitude is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments.
Altitude Rule
Additionally, the length of each leg is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg, as ck-12 accurately states.
But what do these theorems really mean?
They help us to create proportions for finding missing side lengths!
Let's look at an example!

After completing this section, you should be able to:
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing sides of a right triangle.
This is another excerpt from Raphael's The School of Athens. The man writing in the book represents Pythagoras, the namesake of one of the most widely used formulas in geometry, engineering, architecture, and many other fields, the Pythagorean Theorem. However, there is evidence that the theorem was known as early as 1900–1100 BC by the Babylonians. The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula used for finding the lengths of the sides of right triangles.
Born in Greece, Pythagoras lived from 569–500 BC. He initiated a cult-like group called the Pythagoreans, which was a secret society composed of mathematicians, philosophers, and musicians. Pythagoras believed that everything in the world could be explained through numbers. Besides the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagoras and his followers are credited with the discovery of irrational numbers, the musical scale, the relationship between music and mathematics, and many other concepts that left an immeasurable influence on future mathematicians and scientists.
The focus of this section is on right triangles. We will look at how the Pythagorean Theorem is used to find the unknown sides of a right triangle, and we will also study the special triangles, those with set ratios between the lengths of sides. By ratios we mean the relationship of one side to another side. When you think about ratios, you should think about fractions. A fraction is a ratio, the ratio of the numerator to the denominator. Finally, we will preview trigonometry. We will learn about the basic trigonometric functions, sine, cosine and tangent, and how they are used to find not only unknown sides but unknown angles, as well, with little information.
Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find unknown sides of right triangles. The theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side of the right triangle).
The Pythagorean Theorem states
a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2
where a Figure 10.179.
For example, given that side a = 6 , a = 6 , and side b = 8 , b = 8 , we can find the measure of side c c using the Pythagorean Theorem. Thus,
Example 10.65
Calculating distance using the distance formula.
You live on the corner of First Street and Maple Avenue, and work at Star Enterprises on Tenth Street and Elm Drive (Figure 10.183). You want to calculate how far you walk to work every day and how it compares to the actual distance (as the crow flies). Each block measures 200 ft by 200 ft.
Your Turn 10.65
Example 10.66, calculating distance with the pythagorean theorem.
The city has specific building codes for wheelchair ramps. Every vertical rise of 1 in requires that the horizontal length be 12 inches. You are constructing a ramp at your business. The plan is to make the ramp 130 inches in horizontal length and the slanted distance will measure approximately 132.4 inches (Figure 10.184). What should the vertical height be?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the horizontal length of the base of the ramp, side a , is 130 in. The length of c , or the length of the hypotenuse, is 132.4 in. The length of the height of the triangle is side b .
If you construct the ramp with a 25 in vertical rise, will it fulfill the building code? If not, what will have to change?
The building code states 12 in of horizontal length for each 1 in of vertical rise. The vertical rise is 25 in, which means that the horizontal length has to be 12 ( 25 ) = 300 in . 12 ( 25 ) = 300 in . So, no, this will not pass the code. If you must keep the vertical rise at 25 in, what will the other dimensions have to be? Since we need a minimum of 300 in for the horizontal length:

30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ Triangles
In geometry, as in all fields of mathematics, there are always special rules for special circumstances. An example is the perfect square rule in algebra. When expanding an expression like ( 2 x + 5 y ) 2 , ( 2 x + 5 y ) 2 , we do not have to expand it the long way:
we can skip the middle step and just start writing down the answer. This may seem trivial with problems like ( a + b ) 2 . Figure 10.187.
We see that the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, and the longest side, the hypotenuse, will always be opposite the right angle. There is a set ratio of one side to another side for the 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ triangle given as 1 : 3 : 2 , 1 : 3 : 2 , or x : x 3 : 2 x . x : x 3 : 2 x . Thus, you only need to know the length of one side to find the other two sides in a 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ triangle.
Example 10.67
Find the measures of the missing lengths of the triangle (Figure 10.188).
We can see that this is a 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ 30 ∘ - 60 ∘ - 90 ∘ triangle because we have a right angle and a 30 ∘ 30 ∘ angle. The remaining angle, therefore, must equal 60 ∘ . 60 ∘ . Because this is a special triangle, we have the ratios of the sides to help us identify the missing lengths. Side a a is the shortest side, as it is opposite the smallest angle 30 ∘ , 30 ∘ , and we can substitute a = x . a = x . The ratios are x : x 3 : 2 x . x : x 3 : 2 x . We have the hypotenuse equaling 10, which corresponds to side c c , and side c c is equal to 2 x x . Now, we must solve for x x :

Example 10.69
Find the measures of the unknown sides in the triangle (Figure 10.193).
Because we have a 45 ∘ - 45 ∘ - 90 ∘ 45 ∘ - 45 ∘ - 90 ∘ triangle, we know that the two legs are equal in length and the hypotenuse is a product of one of the legs and 2 . 2 . One leg measures 3, so the other leg, a a , measures 3. Remember the ratio of x : x : x 2 . x : x : x 2 . Then, the hypotenuse, c c , equals 3 2 . 3 2 .

Trigonometry Functions
Trigonometry developed around 200 BC from a need to determine distances and to calculate the measures of angles in the fields of astronomy and surveying. Trigonometry is about the relationships (or ratios) of angle measurements to side lengths in primarily right triangles. However, trigonometry is useful in calculating missing side lengths and angles in other triangles and many applications.
NOTE: You will need either a scientific calculator or a graphing calculator for this section. It must have the capability to calculate trigonometric functions and express angles in degrees.
Trigonometry is based on three functions. We title these functions using the following abbreviations:
sin = sine sin = sine
cos = cosine cos = cosine
tan = tangent tan = tangent
Letting r = x 2 + y 2 , Table 10.1. The functions are given in terms of x x , y y , and r r , and in terms of sides relative to the angle, like opposite, adjacent, and the hypotenuse.
We will be applying the sine function, cosine function, and tangent function to find side lengths and angle measurements for triangles we cannot solve using any of the techniques we have studied to this point. In Figure 10.195, we have an illustration mainly to identify r r and the sides labeled x x and y y .
An angle θ Figure 10.196, we will solve for the missing sides.
Let's use the trigonometric functions to find the sides x x and y y . As long as your calculator mode is set to degrees, you do not have to enter the degree symbol. First, let's solve for y y .

Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression
Other problems that involve trigonometric functions include calculating the angle of elevation and the angle of depression . These are very common applications in everyday life. The angle of elevation is the angle formed by a horizontal line and the line of sight from an observer to some object at a higher level. The angle of depression is the angle formed by a horizontal line and the line of sight from an observer to an object at a lower level.
Example 10.74
Finding the angle of elevation.
A guy wire of length 110 meters runs from the top of an antenna to the ground (Figure 10.204). If the angle of elevation of an observer to the top of the antenna is 43 ∘ , 43 ∘ , how high is the antenna?
We are looking for the height of the tower. This corresponds to the y y -value, so we will use the sine function:

People in Mathematics
Pythagoras and the pythagoreans.
The Pythagorean Theorem is so widely used that most people assume that Pythagoras (570–490 BC) discovered it. The philosopher and mathematician uncovered evidence of the right triangle concepts in the teachings of the Babylonians dating around 1900 BC. However, it was Pythagoras who found countless applications of the theorem leading to advances in geometry, architecture, astronomy, and engineering.
Among his accolades, Pythagoras founded a school for the study of mathematics and music. Students were called the Pythagoreans, and the school's teachings could be classified as a religious indoctrination just as much as an academic experience. Pythagoras believed that spirituality and science coexist, that the intellectual mind is superior to the senses, and that intuition should be honored over observation.
Pythagoras was convinced that the universe could be defined by numbers, and that the natural world was based on mathematics. His primary belief was All is Number. He even attributed certain qualities to certain numbers, such as the number 8 represented justice and the number 7 represented wisdom. There was a quasi-mythology that surrounded Pythagoras. His followers thought that he was more of a spiritual being, a sort of mystic that was all-knowing and could travel through time and space. Some believed that Pythagoras had mystical powers, although these beliefs were never substantiated.
Pythagoras and his followers contributed more ideas to the field of mathematics, music, and astronomy besides the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagoreans are credited with the discovery of irrational numbers and of proving that the morning star was the planet Venus and not a star at all. They are also credited with the discovery of the musical scale and that different strings made different sounds based on their length. Some other concepts attributed to the Pythagoreans include the properties relating to triangles other than the right triangle, one of which is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180 ∘ . 180 ∘ . These geometric principles, proposed by the Pythagoreans, were proven 200 years later by Euclid.
A Visualization of the Pythagorean Theorem
In Figure 10.208, which is one of the more popular visualizations of the Pythagorean Theorem, we see that square a a is attached to side a a ; square b b is attached to side b b ; and the largest square, square c c , is attached to side c c . Side a a measures 3 cm in length, side b b measures 4 cm in length, and side c c measures 5 cm in length. By definition, the area of square a a measures 9 square units, the area of square b b measures 16 square units, and the area of square c c measures 25 square units. Substitute the values given for the areas of the three squares into the Pythagorean Theorem and we have
Thus, the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, as stated in the Pythagorean Theorem.
A Right Triangle's Hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the largest side in a right triangle and is always opposite the right angle. (Only right triangles have a hypotenuse ). The other two sides of the triangle, AC and CB are referred to as the 'legs'. In the triangle above, the hypotenuse is the side AB which is opposite the right angle, ∠C ∠ C .

Exploring the World of Mathematics: Geometry
Geometry, a branch of mathematics as old as the pyramids, delves into the study of shapes, sizes, and spaces. In this journey, we'll examine the foundational concepts of geometry, exploring its practical applications and timeless intrigue.
Defining Geometry
Mathematically, geometry is the study of points, lines, surfaces, and solids. It's the branch of mathematics that deals with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry has two main subjects: Euclidean geometry and non-Euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry is the study of plane and solid geometries that follow Euclid's postulates, while non-Euclidean geometry challenges some of these postulates and introduces new geometries, such as hyperbolic and elliptical geometries.
Geometry's Origins and Applications
Geometry has a rich history, stemming from the ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Indians. The field has evolved over time, with renowned mathematicians like Euclid, Archimedes, and Descartes contributing to its development.
Geometry has numerous applications in everyday life, including:
Architecture and Construction: Geometry is essential in designing and building structures, including homes, buildings, and bridges, as it helps architects and engineers understand and manipulate shapes and sizes.
Engineering: Geometric concepts underlie the design and analysis of engineering systems, such as machines, vehicles, and computer systems.
Art and Design: Geometry forms the foundation of art and design, as it helps artists and designers create and represent shapes, patterns, and compositions.
Mapping and Navigation: Geometry is crucial in mapping and navigation, as it helps us to understand the shape, size, and position of different objects and spaces.
Surveying: Geometry plays a vital role in surveying, as it helps surveyors measure and analyze the shape, size, and position of land and property.
Data Analysis and Visualization: Geometry helps us understand and visualize data, as it allows us to represent different types of data (such as points, lines, and surfaces) in various geometric forms.
Geometry's Subtopics
Geometry is divided into several subtopics, each focusing on specific aspects of the field. Here are a few of the most fundamental subtopics:
Points and Lines: Points are the basic building blocks of geometry, representing locations or positions in a space. Lines are one-dimensional objects that connect two points and can have different characteristics, such as parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting.
Planes: A plane is a two-dimensional surface that contains points equidistant from a given line (the normal line) passing through the plane. Planes can intersect in lines or be parallel, forming the fundamental basis of Euclidean geometry.
Angles: Angles are formed where two lines meet or where the edge of a plane meets a line. They are measured in degrees and can vary in shape, such as acute, right, or obtuse.
Surfaces: Surfaces are two-dimensional objects that cover space and have definite boundaries. Surfaces can be flat or curved and can have properties such as smoothness or roughness.
Solids: Solids are three-dimensional objects with length, width, and height. Solids can have various shapes and properties, such as volume, surface area, and center of mass.
Transformations: Transformations are operations that change the shape or position of figures, such as translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.
Properties of Circles: Circles are two-dimensional objects with every point on their edge equidistant from the center. Properties of circles include the relationship between their diameter, radius, and circumference, as well as the properties of chords, arcs, and tangents.
Coordinate Geometry: Coordinate geometry is a subtopic of geometry that uses coordinates to locate points in a plane or space. Coordinate geometry forms the foundation of algebraic geometry and is used extensively in computer graphics, design, and other applications.
Non-Euclidean Geometry: Non-Euclidean geometry refers to the study of geometries that do not satisfy Euclid's postulates. This subtopic includes hyperbolic and elliptical geometries, which have unique properties and applications.
As you see, geometry is a vast and fascinating field, providing us with a deeper understanding of the world around us. By studying geometry, we develop problem-solving skills, a strong foundation in mathematics, and an appreciation for the beauty and complexity of shapes and spaces. So, let's dive in and explore the world of geometry with enthusiasm and curiosity!
Discover the captivating realm of geometry, from its historical origins to its practical applications in architecture, engineering, art, and beyond. Test your knowledge on fundamental concepts like points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids while delving into subtopics such as planes, transformations, and coordinate geometry. | 677.169 | 1 |

Looking for a thrill? Then consider a ride on the Singapore Flyer, the world's tallest Ferris wheel. Located in Singapore, the Ferris wheel soars to a height of 541 feet—a little more than a tenth of a mile! Described as an observation wheel, riders enjoy spectacular views as they travel from the ground to the peak and down again in a repeating pattern. In this section, we will examine this type of revolving motion around a circle. To do so, we need to define the type of circle first, and then place that circle on a coordinate system. Then we can discuss circular motion in terms of the coordinate pairs.
7.4.1 – Finding Trigonometric Functions Using the Unit Circle
We have already defined the trigonometric functions in terms of right triangles. In this section, we will redefine them in terms of the unit circle. Recall that a unit circle is a circle centered at the origin with radius 1, as shown in (Figure). The angle (in radians) that [latex]\,t\,[/latex] intercepts forms an arc of length [latex]\,s.\,[/latex] Using the formula [latex]\,s=rt,[/latex] and knowing that [latex]\,r=1,[/latex] we see that for a unit circle, [latex]\,s=t.[/latex]
The x- and y-axes divide the coordinate plane into four quarters called quadrants. We label these quadrants to mimic the direction a positive angle would sweep. The four quadrants are labeled I, II, III, and IV.
For any angle [latex]\,t,[/latex] we can label the intersection of the terminal side and the unit circle as by its coordinates, [latex]\,\left(x,y\right).\,[/latex] The coordinates [latex]\,x\,[/latex] and [latex]\,y\,[/latex] will be the outputs of the trigonometric functions [latex]\,f\left(t\right)=\mathrm{cos}\,t\,[/latex] and [latex]\,f\left(t\right)=\mathrm{sin}\,t,[/latex] respectively. This means [latex]\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}x=\text{cos }t\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}[/latex] and [latex]\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}y=\text{sin }t.[/latex]
Figure 2.
Unit Circle
A unit circle has a center at [latex]\,\left(0,0\right)\,[/latex] and radius [latex]\,1.\,[/latex] In a unit circle, the length of the intercepted arc is equal to the radian measure of the central angle [latex]\,t.[/latex]
Let [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] be the endpoint on the unit circle of an arc of arc length [latex]\,s.\,[/latex] The [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates of this point can be described as functions of the angle.
Defining Sine and Cosine Functions from the Unit Circle
The sine function relates a real number [latex]\,t\,[/latex] to the y-coordinate of the point where the corresponding angle intercepts the unit circle. More precisely, the sine of an angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] equals the y-value of the endpoint on the unit circle of an arc of length [latex]\,t.\,[/latex] In (Figure), the sine is equal to [latex]\,y.\,[/latex] Like all functions, the sine function has an input and an output. Its input is the measure of the angle; its output is the y-coordinate of the corresponding point on the unit circle.
The cosine function of an angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] equals the x-value of the endpoint on the unit circle of an arc of length [latex]\,t.\,[/latex] In (Figure), the cosine is equal to [latex]\,x.[/latex]
Figure 3.
Because it is understood that sine and cosine are functions, we do not always need to write them with parentheses: [latex]\,\mathrm{sin}\,t\,[/latex] is the same as [latex]\,\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}t\,[/latex] is the same as [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right).\,[/latex] Likewise, [latex]\,{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}t\,[/latex] is a commonly used shorthand notation for [latex]\,{\left(\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)}^{2}.\,[/latex] Be aware that many calculators and computers do not recognize the shorthand notation. When in doubt, use the extra parentheses when entering calculations into a calculator or computer.
Sine and Cosine Functions
If [latex]\,t\,[/latex] is a real number and a point [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] on the unit circle corresponds to a central angle [latex]\,t,[/latex] then
[latex]\mathrm{cos}\,t=x[/latex]
[latex]\mathrm{sin}\,t=y[/latex]
How To
Given a point P [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of [latex]\,t,[/latex] find the sine and cosine.
The sine of [latex]\,t\,[/latex] is equal to the y-coordinate of point [latex]\,P:\text{sin }t\text{ = }y.[/latex]
The cosine of [latex]\,t\,[/latex] is equal to the x-coordinate of point [latex]\,P:\text{cos} t=x.[/latex]
Example 1 – Finding Function Values for Sine and Cosine
Point [latex]\,P\,[/latex] is a point on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of [latex]\,t,[/latex] as shown in (Figure). Find [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\text{sin}\left(t\right).[/latex]
Figure 4.
We know that [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\,t\,[/latex] is the x-coordinate of the corresponding point on the unit circle and [latex]\,\mathrm{sin}\,t\,[/latex] is the y-coordinate of the corresponding point on the unit circle. So:

A certain angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] corresponds to a point on the unit circle at [latex]\,\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\,[/latex] as shown in (Figure). Find [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\,t\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\mathrm{sin}\,t.[/latex]
Finding Sines and Cosines of Angles on an Axis
For quadrantral angles, the corresponding point on the unit circle falls on the x- or y-axis. In that case, we can easily calculate cosine and sine from the values of [latex]\,x\,[/latex] and [latex]\,y.[/latex]
Example 2 – Calculating Sines and Cosines along an Axis
Moving [latex]\,90°\,[/latex] counterclockwise around the unit circle from the positive x-axis brings us to the top of the circle, where the [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates are [latex]\,\left(0,1\right),[/latex] as shown in (Figure).

7.4.2 – Finding Reference Angles
We have discussed finding the sine and cosine for angles in the first quadrant, but what if our angle is in another quadrant? For any given angle in the first quadrant, there is an angle in the second quadrant with the same sine value. Because the sine value is the y-coordinate on the unit circle, the other angle with the same sine will share the same y-value, but have the opposite x-value. Therefore, its cosine value will be the opposite of the first angle's cosine value.
Likewise, there will be an angle in the fourth quadrant with the same cosine as the original angle. The angle with the same cosine will share the same x-value but will have the opposite y-value. Therefore, its sine value will be the opposite of the original angle's sine value.
As shown in (Figure), angle [latex]\,\alpha \,[/latex] has the same sine value as angle [latex]\,t;[/latex] the cosine values are opposites. Angle [latex]\,\beta \,[/latex] has the same cosine value as angle [latex]\,t;[/latex] the sine values are opposites.
Recall that an angle's reference angle is the acute angle, [latex]\,t,[/latex] formed by the terminal side of the angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] and the horizontal axis. A reference angle is always an angle between [latex]\,0\,[/latex] and [latex]\,90°,[/latex] or [latex]\,0\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\frac{\pi }{2}\,[/latex] radians. As we can see from (Figure), for any angle in quadrants II, III, or IV, there is a reference angle in quadrant I.
Figure 17.
How To
Given an angle between [latex]\,0\,[/latex] and [latex]\,2\pi ,[/latex] find its reference angle.
An angle in the first quadrant is its own reference angle.
For an angle in the second or third quadrant, the reference angle is [latex]\,|\pi -t|\,[/latex] or [latex]\,|180°-t|.[/latex]
For an angle in the fourth quadrant, the reference angle is [latex]\,2\pi -t\,[/latex] or [latex]\,360°-t.[/latex]
If an angle is less than [latex]\,0\,[/latex] or greater than [latex]\,2\pi ,[/latex] add or subtract [latex]\,2\pi \,[/latex] as many times as needed to find an equivalent angle between [latex]\,0\,[/latex] and [latex]\,2\pi .[/latex]
Example 3 – Finding a Reference Angle
Find the reference angle of [latex]\,225°\,[/latex] as shown in (Figure).
Figure 17.
Because [latex]\,225°\,[/latex] is in the third quadrant, the reference angle is

7.4.3 – Using Reference Angles
Now let's take a moment to reconsider the Ferris wheel introduced at the beginning of this section. Suppose a rider snaps a photograph while stopped twenty feet above ground level. The rider then rotates three-quarters of the way around the circle. What is the rider's new elevation? To answer questions such as this one, we need to evaluate the sine or cosine functions at angles that are greater than 90 degrees or at a negative angle. Reference angles make it possible to evaluate trigonometric functions for angles outside the first quadrant. They can also be used to find [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates for those angles. We will use the reference angle of the angle of rotation combined with the quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle lies.
Using Reference Angles to Evaluate Trigonometric Functions
We can find the cosine and sine of any angle in any quadrant if we know the cosine or sine of its reference angle. The absolute values of the cosine and sine of an angle are the same as those of the reference angle. The sign depends on the quadrant of the original angle. The cosine will be positive or negative depending on the sign of the x-values in that quadrant. The sine will be positive or negative depending on the sign of the y-values in that quadrant.
Using Reference Angles to Find Cosine and Sine
Angles have cosines and sines with the same absolute value as their reference angles. The sign (positive or negative) can be determined from the quadrant of the angle.
How To
Given an angle in standard position, find the reference angle, and the cosine and sine of the original angle.
Measure the angle between the terminal side of the given angle and the horizontal axis. That is the reference angle.
Determine the values of the cosine and sine of the reference angle.
Give the cosine the same sign as the x-values in the quadrant of the original angle.
Give the sine the same sign as the y-values in the quadrant of the original angle.
Example 4 – Using Reference Angles to Find Sine and Cosine
Using a reference angle, find the exact value of [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\left(150°\right)\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\text{sin}\left(150°\right).[/latex]
Using the reference angle, find [latex]\,\mathrm{cos}\,\frac{5\pi }{4}\,[/latex] and [latex]\,\mathrm{sin}\,\frac{5\pi }{4}.[/latex]
[latex]150°\,[/latex] is located in the second quadrant. The angle it makes with the x-axis is [latex]\,180°-150°=30°,[/latex] so the reference angle is [latex]\,30°.[/latex]
This tells us that [latex]\,150°\,[/latex] has the same sine and cosine values as [latex]\,30°,[/latex] except for the sign.
Since [latex]\,150°\,[/latex] is in the second quadrant, the x-coordinate of the point on the circle is negative, so the cosine value is negative. The y-coordinate is positive, so the sine value is positive.
[latex]\frac{5\pi }{4}\,[/latex] is in the third quadrant. Its reference angle is [latex]\,\frac{5\pi }{4}-\pi =\frac{\pi }{4}.\,[/latex] The cosine and sine of [latex]\,\frac{\pi }{4}\,[/latex] are both [latex]\,\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.\,[/latex] In the third quadrant, both [latex]\,x\,[/latex] and [latex]\,y\,[/latex] are negative, so:
Using Reference Angles to Find Coordinates
Now that we have learned how to find the cosine and sine values for special angles in the first quadrant, we can use symmetry and reference angles to fill in cosine and sine values for the rest of the special angles on the unit circle. They are shown in (Figure). Take time to learn the [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates of all of the major angles in the first quadrant.
Figure 19. Special angles and coordinates of corresponding points on the unit circle
In addition to learning the values for special angles, we can use reference angles to find [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates of any point on the unit circle, using what we know of reference angles along with the identities
First we find the reference angle corresponding to the given angle. Then we take the sine and cosine values of the reference angle, and give them the signs corresponding to the y– and x-values of the quadrant.
How To
Given the angle of a point on a circle and the radius of the circle, find the [latex]\,\left(x,y\right)\,[/latex] coordinates of the point.
Find the reference angle by measuring the smallest angle to the x-axis.
Find the cosine and sine of the reference angle.
Determine the appropriate signs for [latex]\,x\,[/latex] and [latex]\,y\,[/latex] in the given quadrant.
Example 5 – Using the Unit Circle to Find Coordinates
Find the coordinates of the point on the unit circle at an angle of [latex]\,\frac{7\pi }{6}.[/latex]
We know that the angle [latex]\,\frac{7\pi }{6}\,[/latex] is in the third quadrant.
First, let's find the reference angle by measuring the angle to the x-axis. To find the reference angle of an angle whose terminal side is in quadrant III, we find the difference of the angle and [latex]\,\pi .[/latex]
We must determine the appropriate signs for x and y in the given quadrant. Because our original angle is in the third quadrant, where both [latex]\,x\,[/latex] and [latex]\,y\,[/latex] are negative, both cosine and sine are negative.
Key Equations
Key Concepts
Finding the function values for the sine and cosine begins with drawing a unit circle, which is centered at the origin and has a radius of 1 unit.
Using the unit circle, the sine of an angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] equals the y-value of the endpoint on the unit circle of an arc of length [latex]\,t\,[/latex] whereas the cosine of an angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] equals the x-value of the endpoint. See (Example 1).
The sine and cosine values are most directly determined when the corresponding point on the unit circle falls on an axis. See (Example 2).
The sine and cosine of an angle have the same absolute value as the sine and cosine of its reference angle.
The signs of the sine and cosine are determined from the x– and y-values in the quadrant of the original angle.
An angle's reference angle is the size angle, [latex]\,t,[/latex] formed by the terminal side of the angle [latex]\,t\,[/latex] and the horizontal axis. See (Example 3).
Reference angles can be used to find the sine and cosine of the original angle. See (Example 4).
Reference angles can also be used to find the coordinates of a point on a circle. See (Example 5).

I am trying to find an efficient way of computing the intersection point(s) of a circle and line segment on a spherical surface.
Say you have a sphere of radius R. On the surface of this sphere are
a circle with center ($\theta_c$,$\phi_c$) and radius r
a geodesic line segment defined by endpoints ($\theta_1$,$\phi_1$) and ($\theta_2$,$\phi_2$)
where $\theta$ is the colatitude in $[0,\pi]$, $\phi$ is the longitude in $[0,2\pi]$, and $r$ is measured by the geodesic distance on the sphere (not straight line distance in Euclidean space). How would you
determine whether the circle and line intersect at all, including whether the segment is contained by the circle?
compute the intersection point(s)?
We can assume there is nothing pathological going on. $r$ is not zero and is not so large that it's bigger than the sphere, the line's endpoints are not identical, etc.
$\begingroup$Arthur - I'm taking the path from $P_1$ to $P_2$ in the direction of $P_2-P_1$. There is the pathological case where they are $\pi$ degrees opposite each other.$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$@arthur So you take it to mean the shorter of the two segments (barring the antipodal pathology, of course, but that's not $\pi$ degrees). That's fine. But I care more about what qsfzy takes it to mean, as they are the one who actually has the answer.$\endgroup$

If everything is converted from geographic coordinates to Cartesian vectors, the calculation can be done by linear algebra and trigonometry.
Let $P_{0}$ denote the center of the circle $C$; $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ the endpoints of the geodesic segment; and assume
$P_{1} \neq \pm P_{2}$, so there is a unique short arc of great circle from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$;
$r < \pi R/2$, so $C$ is not a great circle.
The great circle through $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ is the intersection of the sphere with the plane $\Pi$ containing $P_{1}$, $P_{2}$, and the origin (the center of the sphere), which has unit normal vector
$$
N = \frac{P_{1} \times P_{2}}{\|P_{1} \times P_{2}\|}.
$$
The angle subtended at the center of the sphere by the center of $C$ and a point of $C$ is $\theta = r/R$. Further, $\Pi$ intersects $C$ if and only if $N$ makes angle no larger than $\theta$ with the "equator" perpendicular to $P_{0}$, if and only if
$$
\biggl|\frac{\pi}{2} - \arccos \frac{P_{0} \cdot N}{R}\biggr|
= \biggl|\arcsin \frac{P_{0} \cdot N}{R}\biggr| \leq \theta.
$$
If this inequality fails to hold, the plane $\Pi$ (and hence the geodesic segment) does not intersect $C$. If equality holds, $C$ is tangent to $\Pi$, and if strict inequality holds $C$ crosses $\Pi$.
Suppose the preceding inequality is satisfied. The Euclidean center of $C$ is $c_{0} = (\cos\theta)P_{0}$.
It remains to check whether either point lies on the short arc of great circle from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$. But $Q = (\cos t)P_{1} + (\sin t)P_{2}'$ lies on the arc of great circle from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$ if and only if $0 \leq t \leq \arccos(P_{1} \cdot P_{2}/R^{2})$. Alternatively, a point $Q$ of the great circle lies between $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ (i.e., on the short arc) if and on if the angle from $P_{1}$ to $Q$ plus the angle from $Q$ to $P_{2}$ equals the angle from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$, i.e.,
$$
\arccos \frac{P_{1} \cdot Q}{R^{2}} + \arccos \frac{P_{2} \cdot Q}{R^{2}} = \arccos \frac{P_{1} \cdot P_{2}}{R^{2}}.
$$
(In the diagram, these were checked numerically and colored accordingly, green if yes and red if no.)
$\begingroup$I'm following and everything is working until I get to $t_0$. @andrew-d-hwang, you say "let $t_0$ be the unique angle..." satisfying those two equations. Are we required to find $t_0$ numerically?$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$Yes, but (1) many libraries (C, JavaScript, ...) have an atan2 function for which atan2(y, x) [sic] returns $\theta$; (2) If such a function is unavailable, we can find the two values of $t$ satisfying $\cos t = A/\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$ and the two values satisfying $\sin t = B/\sqrt{A^2+B^2}$ and set $t_{0}$ to be the common value.$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$In case it matters for posterity, the diagram shows a unit sphere; in general, all the labeled points and vectors except $N$ have magnitude $R$, and therefore lie on the sphere, while $N$ is a unit vector.$\endgroup$
If $0 \le \alpha_s \le \alpha_2$ then the solution is on the line segment.
Is the line segment inside the circle?
There must be two real solutions for the line segment to be inside the circle.
Parameterize the circular arc starting from solution $1$$S_1$ to solution $2$$S_2$. Determine the angle of $S_2$ relative to $S_1$. Determine the angle of the points $P_1$ and $P_2$ wrt $S_1$. If the angles of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are less than the angle of $S_2$ then they are inside the curve. Note the arc from $S_1$ to $S_2$ is the same curve as from $P_1$ to $P_2$ but the angle starts at $S_1$. The direction from $S_1$ to $S_2$ is key.This method avoids complicated $2\pi - angle$ shortest angle scenarios that I could not resolve.
Let $\widehat{T}$ be normal to $\widehat{S_1}$ in the $\mathbf{O}S_1S_2$ plane.
$\begingroup$Seems like a promising start, but I think your definition of the cplane is only correct for a circle at the equator, $\theta = \pi/2$. For example, think about a circle that is centered on the "north pole", $(R,0,0)$. The four points $C_{[1,2,3,4]}$ you define for the cplane would be $(R, r/R, 0)$, $(R, -r/R, 0)$, $(R, 0, r/R)$, and $(R, 0, -r/R)$. The last two points are indistinguishable from each other and also from the crater's center at the pole because all three have $\theta = 0$. More generally, I think this definition is also wrong for $\theta \in [0,\pi/2)$. Am I wrong?$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$The rough steps of my current solution are: 1) rotate the circle to the pole so that it is defined by a ring at $\theta_c$ (rotating the segment also, of course) 2) parametrize the great circle running through the rotated segment 3) solve for parameter values where this great circle meets $\theta_c$ 4) check if the intersection values overlap the segment$\endgroup$ | 677.169 | 1 |
The straightforward way to model geometry in 3D space is with the 3
dimensional Euclidean vector space \(\setR^3\). For geometry on the
plane (drawings and images) the equivalent choice is \(\setR^2\). A
Euclidean vector space implies the existence of the Euclidean vector
norm. A vector norm is what is needed to define lengths and angles.
When dealing with 2D images being the projections of the 3D world,
Euclidean geometry does not suffice anymore as a mathematical
model. To obtain a feeling for the necessity of projective geometry,
we take a quick look at the basic imaging device: the pinhole
camera, before we introduce the math of projective geometry.
Fig. 1.20 Camera Obscura. A darkened room with a small hole in one side. The
view is depicted upside down on the opposite wall.
Imagine standing in a darkened room with only a small hole in one of
the walls (see Fig. 1.20) and a semi transparent
screen a short distance from the hole. The 3D outside world is
projected onto the screen. Such a room (or device as you can build
miniature versions) is called a camera obscura.
Fig. 1.21 A picture of trees. The image as would have been projected in
the camera obscura in case the camera obscura was placed on the
middle of the road (the observed image is turned upside down in
this figure)
From the image of the road with trees in Fig. 1.21 we
can observe that in the projected space:
points on a line in the real world are projected as points on a line
on the retina,
lines which are parallel in 3D space are projected on lines that
meet at the horizon,
lengths are not preserved (a tree far away is projected much
smaller then a nearby tree) and
angles are not preserved.
Note that not all parallel lines in 3D will meet in a point in the
projection. Two lines parallel to the horizon will not meet in a
point. I.e. not in a point nearby, but mathematically we say that the
lines meet in a point at infinity. Euclidean geometry is not capable
of dealing with points (and lines) at infinity. In projective geometry
the points at infinity are treated as all other points in space.
The most important invariance in projective space (indeed its defining
property) is that colinearity is preserved. Points on a line will stay
points on a line (although maybe a different line).
For projective geometry in 2D we use homogeneous coordinates. For an
introduction to homogeneous coordinates we refer to section
Homogeneous Coordinates.
By definition a projective transform preserves colinearity of
points. It can be shown that any 2D projective transform is a linear
operator in homogeneous 3D space (i.e. using vectors in 3D
space). And therefore any 2D projective transform \(P\) can be
represented with a \(3\times3\) matrix working on the homogeneous 3D
vectors. Also any \(3\times3\) matrix represents a projective 2D
transform.
In this chapter on the pinhole camera we will write homogeneous
vectors with a tilde: \(\hv x\). So for a 2D point:
\[\begin{split}\v x = \matvec{c}{x_1\\x_2}\end{split}\]
the corresponding homogeneous vectors are all of the form:
\[\begin{split}\hv x = \matvec{c}{s x_1\\s x_2\\s}\end{split}\]
for any \(s\not=0\). So two homogeneous vectors \(\hv x\) and \(\hv y\) such
that \(\hv x\not=\hv y\) can still correspond with the same 2D point (in
case \(\hv y\) is a multiple of \(\hv x\)). Such homogeneous vectors that
are not mathematically the same, but do have the same interpretation
are said to be similar and denoted as:
For projective geometry in 3D space we need to use homogeneous vectors
in 4D. Projective transforms in 3D space are then represented as
\(4\times4\) matrices.
In 2D space lines can be represented with a homogeneous vector like
points in 2D space. In 3D space a point is represented with a 4D
homogeneous vector and we can also represent planes with a 4D
homogeneous vector. | 677.169 | 1 |

Unit 32: Triangles
There are three common types of triangle problems on the SAT. They mostly concern:
Similar triangles
Special right triangles
Pythagorean theorem and triplets
Similar Triangles
Similar triangles have three notable things about them. They have the same angles, the same ratio of sides, and the same sine, cosine, and tangent.
Note that congruent triangles are just a specific type of similar triangle – their angles are the same, and the ratio of the sides is 1:1 (because they are exactly the same triangle).
The SAT tries to trick you by making them hard to recognize as similar triangles. Some examples:
**Notethat in all these examples, there are two triangles that share the same angles, and thus have the same ratio of sides. Anytime you see two triangles, or one triangle with any kind of line through it, check tosee if you have similar triangles!
Strategy:
Mark the sides of the similar triangles that correspond to one another.
Create a ratio with a side of the smaller triangle over the corresponding side from the larger triangle.
Create ratios for the other corresponding sides, set the ratios all equal, and cross multiply to solve.
Special Right Triangles
There are two types of special right triangles you'll see on the SAT. When you see a right triangle (a triangle that contains a 90-degree angle, denoted by the little in the corner), you should always check to see if it's a right triangle. The two types are:
1.30°-60°-90°
2.45°-45°-90°
What makes the first two types of triangles "special" is that if you know the angles and one of the side lengths, you can figure out the other two sides.
Fortunately for us, the SAT gives you the first two in the reference section at the front of each math section! It looks like this:
If you have a 30°-60°-90°, and you are given that the side opposite the 30° angle is 10, then you know the hypotenuse is 20 and the side opposite the 60° angle is(10sqrt3).
Pythagorean Theorem and Triplets
Remember that the Pythagorean theorem can only be used with right triangles, and it is:
$$a^2+b^2=c^2$$
There are two Pythagorean triplets that can save you time on the SAT. They're common side lengths that go together in a right triangle.
1. 3-4-5
2. 5-12-13
So given a triangle with side lengths of
We could plug in (a^2+8^2=10^2) to then get (a^2+64=100) and solve to get a
OR
We can look and see one side is a multiple of 5 (10), one is a multiple of 4 (8), so the third side MUST be a multiple of 3 (6). This can save you a decent amount of time and prevent calculation errors, so keep an eye out for the 3-4-5 triangles as well.
Traps
Hidden special right triangles Always be on the lookout for special right triangles. The SAT loves to include special right triangles to test if a student is looking for them. They're usually the key to solving the problem.
Similar triangles in unsimilar positions Sometimes two triangles will be similar, but one will be positioned on its side, while the other is standing up, or they'll be facing opposite direction. Take the time to ensure you've matched the correct corresponding sides. | 677.169 | 1 |

Trigonometry and Pythagoras' Theorem
Concept Map
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between triangle angles and sides, especially in right-angled triangles. It builds on Pythagoras' theorem, enabling the calculation of unknown angles and sides using trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent. These ratios, encapsulated by the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA, are fundamental for solving mathematical problems involving triangles. The text also covers the use of inverse trigonometric functions to find missing angles and the importance of memorizing key values for manual problem-solving.
Summary
Outline
Fundamentals of Trigonometry
Trigonometry is a fundamental branch of mathematics that explores the relationships between the angles and sides of triangles, with a focus on right-angled triangles. It extends beyond the scope of Pythagoras' theorem, which is limited to calculating the lengths of sides in right-angled triangles, by providing methods to determine unknown angles and sides. The core of trigonometry lies in the trigonometric ratios: sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These ratios are crucial for relating the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides and form the backbone of solving a multitude of mathematical problems that involve triangular shapes.
Pythagoras' Theorem as a Foundation for Trigonometry
Pythagoras' theorem is a critical stepping stone in the journey towards understanding trigonometry. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b), expressed as a² + b² = c². This theorem is instrumental in finding the length of a missing side in a right-angled triangle when the lengths of the other two sides are known. While Pythagoras' theorem does not account for angles, it sets the stage for trigonometry, which expands the mathematical toolkit to include angle-related calculations in any type of triangle.
Defining the Trigonometric Ratios
The trigonometric ratios are defined based on the positions of the sides of a right-angled triangle relative to a chosen angle, typically denoted as theta (θ). The longest side, opposite the right angle, is the hypotenuse (H), the side opposite the angle θ is the opposite side (O), and the side adjacent to angle θ is the adjacent side (A). The sine of θ (sinθ) is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse (O/H), the cosine of θ (cosθ) is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse (A/H), and the tangent of θ (tanθ) is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side (O/A). These relationships are easily remembered through the mnemonic SOHCAHTOA, which encapsulates the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent.
Calculating Missing Side Lengths with Trigonometry
To compute a missing side length in a right-angled triangle using trigonometry, one must identify the given angle and the sides involved. The appropriate trigonometric ratio that includes the known angle and the desired side lengths is then selected. An equation is formulated using this ratio, and algebraic manipulation is employed to solve for the unknown side. For instance, if the hypotenuse and an angle are known, and one seeks the length of the adjacent side, the cosine ratio is utilized, leading to the equation cosθ = A/H, which can be rearranged to find the value of A.
Determining Missing Angles with Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Trigonometry is not only useful for finding missing side lengths but also for calculating unknown angles when certain side lengths are given. This process involves the use of inverse trigonometric functions, denoted as sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, and tan⁻¹. To find an angle, one must select the trigonometric ratio that corresponds to the known sides, set up an equation, and then apply the inverse function to both sides of the equation. For example, if the opposite and hypotenuse sides are known, the equation sinθ = O/H is used, and taking the inverse sine of both sides yields the angle θ.
Trigonometric Ratios Without a Calculator
Trigonometry can be practiced without the aid of a calculator by memorizing the sine, cosine, and tangent values for common angles such as 30°, 45°, and 60°. Mastery of these values, often found in trigonometric ratio tables, enables students to solve problems manually. This skill is particularly valuable in testing environments where calculators are not permitted, ensuring that students can still perform essential trigonometric calculations.
Key Takeaways in Trigonometry
Mastery of trigonometric ratios is essential for solving problems involving right-angled triangles, as they provide the means to determine unknown sides and angles. A clear understanding of the distinction between Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry is crucial, as is the ability to apply SOHCAHTOA for solving problems. The use of inverse trigonometric functions broadens the range of solvable problems. Furthermore, memorizing key trigonometric values for common angles equips students to handle a diverse array of questions, even when calculators are not accessible.

Congruency of Triangles
Two triangles are said to be congruent if they are exactly alike
in all respects. If one triangle is placed on the other, the two triangles will
coincide exactly with each other, i.e., the vertices of the first triangle will
coincide with those of the second. In a pair of congruent triangles, the sides
opposite to equal angles are known as corresponding sides and the angles
opposite to equal sides are known as corresponding angles.
Here, in ∆KLM and ∆XYZ, ∠K = ∠X, ∠L = ∠Y and ∠M = ∠Z.
Also, KL = XY, LM = YZ and KM = XZ.
As the two triangles are exactly equal in all respects, they
are congruent | 677.169 | 1 |
