2. Tangential angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_angle

   In geometry, the tangential angle of a curve in the Cartesian plane, at a specific point, is the angle between the tangent line to the curve at the given point and the x -axis. [1] (. Some authors define the angle as the deviation from the direction of the curve at some fixed starting point. This is equivalent to the definition given here by ...

3. Subtangent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtangent

   The angle φ is the angle of inclination of the tangent line or the tangential angle. In geometry, the subtangent and related terms are certain line segments defined using the line tangent to a curve at a given point and the coordinate axes. The terms are somewhat archaic today but were in common use until the early part of the 20th century.

4. Trigonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry

   v. t. e. Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles. In particular, the trigonometric functions relate the angles of a right triangle with ratios of its side lengths.

5. Tangent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent

   Tangent line to a space curve. In mathematics, a tangent vector is a vector that is tangent to a curve or surface at a given point. Tangent vectors are described in the differential geometry of curves in the context of curves in R n. More generally, tangent vectors are elements of a tangent space of a differentiable manifold.

6. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

   Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] [2] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

7. Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

   The angle between the horizontal line and the shown diagonal is ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ (a + b). This is a geometric way to prove the particular tangent half-angle formula that says tan ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ (a + b) = (sin a + sin b) / (cos a + cos b). The formulae sin ⁠ 1 2 ⁠(a + b) and cos ⁠ 1 2 ⁠(a + b) are the ratios of the actual distances to the length ...
