What is Tangent?
opposite/adjacent.
|
What is the equation for law of cosines?
c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab(cos
|
What is degree?
A measurement of plane angle, representing 1/360 of a full rotation.
|
What is tangent half-angle formula?
Relates the tangent of one half of an angle to trigonometric functions of the entire angle.
|
What is cosine?
adjacent/hypotenuse.
|
What is a right angle?
Angle that bisects the angle formed by two halves of a straight line.
|
What is Pythagorean trigonometric identity?
Trigonometric identity expressing the pythagorean theorem in terms of trigonometric functions.
|
|
What is sine?
opposite/hypotenuse.
|
What is the equation for law of tangents?
a-b/a+b=tan[1/2(A-B)]/tan[1/2(A+B)]
|
What is hypotenuse?
Longest side of a right angled triangle.
|
What is Euler's formula?
A mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the deep relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function.
|
What is the 'saying' to remember tangent, sine, and cosine?
"SOH-CAH-TOA"
|
What is trigonometry?
Branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between the lengths of their sides and the angles between those sides.
|
What is Pathagorean theorem?
A relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right angle, equation is a^2+b^2=c^2
|
What is a hypot?
A mathematical function defined to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle.
|
When do you use an inverse trigonometry function?
You have two sides of a right triangle to find an angle. Use SOH-CAH-TOA to know when to you a certain inverse trig function.
|
What is Mollweide's formula?
a+b/c=cos(A-B/2)/sin(y/2) and a-b/c=sin(A-B/2)/cos(y/2)
|
What is a triangle?
One of the basic shapes in geometry: polygon with three vertices and three sides which are line segments.
|
What is the rule of marteloio?
A medieval technique of navigational computation that uses compass direction, distance and a simple trig table known as the toleta de marteloio.
