Adjacent angles, two angles that share a common ray; Adjacent channel in broadcasting, a channel that is next to another channel; Adjacency matrix, a matrix that represents a graph; Adjacency pairs in pragmatics, paired utterances such as a question and answer; Adjacent side (polygon), a side that shares an angle with another given side
Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection). Elevation – along a curve from a point on the horizon to the zenith, directly overhead. Depression – along a curve from a point on the horizon to the nadir, directly below.
Two pairs of opposite angles are equal in measure. The diagonals bisect each other. One pair of opposite sides is parallel and equal in length. Adjacent angles are supplementary. Each diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles. The sum of the squares of the sides equals the sum of the squares of the diagonals.
Alternate angles are the four pairs of angles that: have distinct vertex points, lie on opposite sides of the transversal and; both angles are interior or both angles are exterior. If the two angles of one pair are congruent (equal in measure), then the angles of each of the other pairs are also congruent.
A kite with three 108° angles and one 36° angle forms the convex hull of the lute of Pythagoras, a fractal made of nested pentagrams. [22] The four sides of this kite lie on four of the sides of a regular pentagon, with a golden triangle glued onto the fifth side. [16] Part of an aperiodic tiling with prototiles made from eight kites
A rhombus therefore has all of the properties of a parallelogram: for example, opposite sides are parallel; adjacent angles are supplementary; the two diagonals bisect one another; any line through the midpoint bisects the area; and the sum of the squares of the sides equals the sum of the squares of the diagonals (the parallelogram law).
A regular decagon has all sides of equal length and each internal angle will always be equal to 144°. [1] Its Schläfli symbol is {10} [ 2 ] and can also be constructed as a truncated pentagon , t{5}, a quasiregular decagon alternating two types of edges.
In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the leg adjacent of the angle and the hypotenuse. For a right angle γ (gamma), where the adjacent leg equals 0, the cosine of γ also equals 0. The law of cosines formulates that = + holds for some angle θ (theta).
