  2. Langley's Adventitious Angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langley's_Adventitious_Angles

    The problem of calculating angle is a standard application of Hansen's resection. Such calculations can establish that ∠ B E F {\displaystyle \angle {BEF}} is within any desired precision of 30 ∘ {\displaystyle 30^{\circ }} , but being of only finite precision, always leave doubt about the exact value.

  3. Mathematical diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_diagram

    The multiplication of two complex numbers can be expressed most easily in polar coordinates — the magnitude or modulus of the product is the product of the two absolute values, or moduli, and the angle or argument of the product is the sum of the two angles, or arguments. In particular, multiplication by a complex number of modulus 1 acts as ...

  4. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    The solution of the subproblem is either the solution of the unconstrained problem or it is used to determine the half-plane where the unconstrained solution center is located. The n 16 {\textstyle {\frac {n}{16}}} points to be discarded are found as follows: The points P i are arranged into pairs which defines n 2 {\textstyle {\frac {n}{2 ...

  5. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The angle between a chord and the tangent at one of its endpoints is equal to one half the angle subtended at the centre of the circle, on the opposite side of the chord (tangent chord angle). If the angle subtended by the chord at the centre is 90°, then ℓ = r √2, where ℓ is the length of the chord, and r is the radius of the circle.

  6. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    Draw an angle whose vertex is point V and whose sides pass through points A, B. Draw line OA. Angle ∠BOA is a central angle; call it θ. Lines OV and OA are both radii of the circle, so they have equal lengths. Therefore, triangle VOA is isosceles, so angle ∠BVA (the inscribed angle) and angle ∠VAO are equal; let each of them be denoted ...

  7. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  8. Spherical law of cosines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_law_of_cosines

    Let u, v, and w denote the unit vectors from the center of the sphere to those corners of the triangle. We have u · u = 1, v · w = cos c, u · v = cos a, and u · w = cos b.The vectors u × v and u × w have lengths sin a and sin b respectively and the angle between them is C, so ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ = () = () () = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡

  9. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    In geometry, inversive geometry is the study of inversion, a transformation of the Euclidean plane that maps circles or lines to other circles or lines and that preserves the angles between crossing curves. Many difficult problems in geometry become much more tractable when an inversion is applied.
