  2. Spherical trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry

    Case 3: two sides and an opposite angle given (SSA). The sine rule gives C and then we have Case 7. There are either one or two solutions. Case 4: two angles and an included side given (ASA). The four-part cotangent formulae for sets (cBaC) and (BaCb) give c and b, then A follows from the sine rule. Case 5: two angles and an opposite side given ...

  3. Octagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagon

    This is easily proven if one takes an octagon, draws a square around the outside (making sure that four of the eight sides overlap with the four sides of the square) and then takes the corner triangles (these are 45–45–90 triangles) and places them with right angles pointed inward, forming a square. The edges of this square are each the ...

  4. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system specifies a given point in a plane by using a distance and an angle as its two coordinates. These are the point's distance from a reference point called the pole, and

  6. Pole and polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_and_polar

    In planar dynamics a pole is a center of rotation, the polar is the force line of action and the conic is the mass–inertia matrix. [4] The pole–polar relationship is used to define the center of percussion of a planar rigid body. If the pole is the hinge point, then the polar is the percussion line of action as described in planar screw theory.

  7. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    All four internal angles of a square are equal (each being 90°, a right angle). [4] [5] The central angle of a square is equal to 90°. [4] The external angle of a square is equal to 90°. [4] The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other, meeting at 90°. [5] The diagonals of a square bisect its internal angles, forming adjacent ...

  8. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    The angle of the sloped arm remains constant throughout (traces a cone), and setting a different angle varies the pitch of the spiral. This device provides a high degree of precision, depending on the precision with which the device is machined (machining a precise helical screw thread is a related challenge).

  9. Spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral

    A two-dimensional, or plane, spiral may be easily described using polar coordinates, where the radius is a monotonic continuous function of angle : r = r ( φ ) . {\displaystyle r=r(\varphi )\;.} The circle would be regarded as a degenerate case (the function not being strictly monotonic, but rather constant ).
