  2. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Angle trisection is the construction, using only a straightedge and a compass, of an angle that is one-third of a given arbitrary angle. This is impossible in the general case. For example, the angle 2 π /5 radians (72° = 360°/5) can be trisected, but the angle of π /3 radians (60°) cannot be trisected. [8]

  3. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    The dihedral angle between two adjacent square faces is the internal angle of an equilateral triangle π /3 = 60°, and that between a square and a triangle is π /2 = 90°. [ 7 ] The volume of any prism is the product of the area of the base and the distance between the two bases. [ 8 ]

  4. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    (This is the angle α opposite the "rise" side of a triangle with a right angle between vertical rise and horizontal run.) as a percentage, the formula for which is which is equivalent to the tangent of the angle of inclination times 100. In Europe and the U.S. percentage "grade" is the most commonly used figure for describing slopes.

  5. Yield surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_surface

    The formula reduces to the Tresca criterion if =. Figure 5 shows Mohr–Coulomb yield surface in the three-dimensional space of principal stresses. It is a conical prism and determines the inclination angle of conical surface. Figure 6 shows Mohr–Coulomb yield surface in two-dimensional stress space.

  6. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    The S, T, and ST scales are used for trig functions and multiples of trig functions, for angles in degrees. For angles from around 5.7 up to 90 degrees, sines are found by comparing the S scale with C (or D) scale. (On many closed-body rules the S scale relates to the A and B scales instead and covers angles from around 0.57 up to 90 degrees ...

  7. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35 mm digital using width 36 mm, height 24 mm, and diagonal 43.3 mm for d in the formula above). [16]

  8. Pentagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon

    To determine the length of this side, the two right triangles DCM and QCM are depicted below the circle. Using Pythagoras' theorem and two sides, the hypotenuse of the larger triangle is found as /. Side h of the smaller triangle then is found using the half-angle formula:

  9. Involute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involute

    In mathematics, an involute (also known as an evolvent) is a particular type of curve that is dependent on another shape or curve. An involute of a curve is the locus of a point on a piece of taut string as the string is either unwrapped from or wrapped around the curve.
