    The Chiesa del Purgatorio, Ragusa: the facade are angled (canted) back from the centre. County Hall, Aylesbury with canted recesses. A cant in architecture is an angled (oblique-angled) line or surface that cuts off a corner. [1] [2] Something with a cant is canted. Canted façades are a typical of, but not exclusive to, Baroque architecture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_trigonometry

    Ordinary trigonometry studies triangles in the Euclidean plane ⁠ ⁠.There are a number of ways of defining the ordinary Euclidean geometric trigonometric functions on real numbers, for example right-angled triangle definitions, unit circle definitions, series definitions [broken anchor], definitions via differential equations [broken anchor], and definitions using functional equations.

    Cant (road/rail), an angle of a road or track; Cant (shooting), referring to a gun being tilted around the longitudinal axis, rather than being horizontally levelled; Cant (surname), a family name and persons with it; Canting, a tool used in making batik; Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear musician), an American performer

  5. Dutch angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_angle

    Person passed out on sidewalk – New York City, 2008 – shot using Dutch angle. In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, vortex plane, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the ...

  6. Triangulation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(geometry)

    Lifting each point from the plane to its elevated height lifts the triangles of the triangulation into three-dimensional surfaces, which form an approximation of a three-dimensional landform. A polygon triangulation is a subdivision of a given polygon into triangles meeting edge-to-edge, again with the property that the set of triangle vertices ...

  7. Cant (road and rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    Cant in a velodrome. The cant of a railway track or camber of a road (also referred to as superelevation, cross slope or cross fall) is the rate of change in elevation (height) between the two rails or edges of the road.

  8. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

    AAS (angle-angle-side): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent. AAS is equivalent to an ASA condition, by the fact that if any two angles are given, so is the third angle, since their sum should be 180°.

  9. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion, and corresponding angles of similar polygons have the same measure. Two congruent shapes are similar, with a scale factor of 1. However, some school ...
