2. Clock angle problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_angle_problem

   A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute. The minute hand rotates through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute. [1]

3. Triangulation (surveying) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(surveying)

   In surveying, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring only angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline by using trigonometry, rather than measuring distances to the point directly as in trilateration. The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side ...

5. cis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis_(mathematics)

   x is the argument of the complex number (angle between line to point and x-axis in polar form). The notation is less commonly used in mathematics than Euler's formula , e ix , which offers an even shorter notation for cos x + i sin x , but cis(x) is widely used as a name for this function in software libraries .

6. Generalized trigonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_trigonometry

   Ordinary trigonometry studies triangles in the Euclidean plane ⁠ ⁠.There are a number of ways of defining the ordinary Euclidean geometric trigonometric functions on real numbers, for example right-angled triangle definitions, unit circle definitions, series definitions [broken anchor], definitions via differential equations [broken anchor], and definitions using functional equations.

7. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

   In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...
