  2. Degree (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

    A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit—the SI unit of angular measure is the radian—but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    The 30°–60°–90° triangle is the only right triangle whose angles are in an arithmetic progression. The proof of this fact is simple and follows on from the fact that if α, α + δ, α + 2δ are the angles in the progression then the sum of the angles 3α + 3δ = 180°. After dividing by 3, the angle α + δ must be 60°. The right angle ...

  4. Right angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

    The straight lines which form right angles are called perpendicular. [8] Euclid uses right angles in definitions 11 and 12 to define acute angles (those smaller than a right angle) and obtuse angles (those greater than a right angle). [9] Two angles are called complementary if their sum is a right angle. [10]

    One could say, "The Moon's diameter subtends an angle of half a degree." The small-angle formula can convert such an angular measurement into a distance/size ratio. Other astronomical approximations include: 0.5° is the approximate diameter of the Sun and of the Moon as viewed from Earth. 1° is the approximate width of the little finger at ...

    Robert Mabey, the chairman of Aldeburgh United Charities, said he took "full responsibility for the fact it lies at an 80-degree angle". Referencing the tree's lopsided appearance from the side ...

    N A Novile is an angle of 40°, which is 1 ⁄ 9 of the 360° ecliptic. An orb of ±1° is allowed. A Novile indicates an energy of perfection and/or idealization. [citation needed] Irreducible Multiples N 2 A Binovile is an angle of 80°, which is 2 ⁄ 9 of the 360° ecliptic. N 4 A Quadnovile is an angle of 160°, which is 4 ⁄ 9 of the 360 ...

    18-gon with 144 rhombs An equilateral pentagonal dissection, with sequential internal angles: 60°, 160°, 80°, 100°, and 140°.Each of the 24 pentagons can be seen as the union of an equilateral triangle and an 80° rhombus.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polygons

    A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain.
