  2. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    This is a triangle whose three angles are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and respectively measure 30° (⁠ π / 6 ⁠), 60° (⁠ π / 3 ⁠), and 90° (⁠ π / 2 ⁠). The sides are in the ratio 1 : √ 3 : 2. The proof of this fact is clear using trigonometry. The geometric proof is:

  3. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio φ and its negative reciprocal −φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 − x − 1. The golden ratio's negative −φ and reciprocal φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 + x − 1. The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer.

  4. Supergolden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergolden_ratio

    In mathematics, the supergolden ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 85/58. Its true value is the real solution of the equation x 3 = x 2 + 1. The name supergolden ratio results from analogy with the golden ratio, the positive solution of the equation x 2 = x + 1. A triangle with side lengths ψ, 1, and 1 ∕ ψ has an angle of exactly ...

    If there are 2 oranges and 3 apples, the ratio of oranges to apples is 2:3, and the ratio of oranges to the total number of pieces of fruit is 2:5. These ratios can also be expressed in fraction form: there are 2/3 as many oranges as apples, and 2/5 of the pieces of fruit are oranges.

  6. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    Rounded notation of 2.39:1 also known as 2.40:1. All film releases may use 800 lines of the 1920×800 resolution resulting in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio of Blu-ray Disc. 2.55:1 = 51:20 Original aspect ratio of CinemaScope before optical sound was added to the film in 1954. This was also the aspect ratio of CinemaScope 55. 2. 592:1 = 70:27 Cinerama ...

  7. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    [1] [2] [3] Such motions may be considered as a particular kind of complex harmonic motion. The appearance of the figure is sensitive to the ratio ⁠ a / b ⁠ . For a ratio of 1, when the frequencies match a=b, the figure is an ellipse , with special cases including circles ( A = B , δ = ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians ) and lines ( δ = 0 ).

  8. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

  9. Aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio

    For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter side—the ratio of width to height, [1] [2] when the rectangle is oriented as a "landscape". The aspect ratio is most often expressed as two integer numbers separated by a colon (x:y), less commonly as a simple or decimal fraction .
