Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a field of mathematics. It is the study of triangles. Trigonometry includes planar trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, finding unknown values in triangles, trigonometric functions, and trigonometric function graphs.

How can you sale your car that was signed over to you but is not in my name?

If it is signed over to me then your name has got nothing to do with it. I can do whatever I like with the car.

Terms related to cartesian coordinate plane?

It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced the Cartesian plane and some of the terms are:-

Horizontal x axis

Vertical y axis

Both axes have a number line and are perpendicular to each other at (0, 0)

The origin is at the coordinates of (0, 0)

The equations of straight line are plotted on it.

The equation of a straight line is y = mx+c whereas m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept

What do civil engineers use trigonometry for?

civil engineers have special heavy duty boots called engineers boots.

these boots are quite expensive

so they use trigonometry to save money

they can stand on one side of a river set up 2 points a known distance apart

and just sight across the river thru a protractor with a telescope to the other side at any target they see

this way they dont need to carry a tape across the river to measure the distance

their boots would get wet and muddy

when they do this for a few years they save enough money to hire a rodman

to cross the river and place high visibility targets for them so they make less mistakes and make even more money

How to draw a hexagon?

A hexagon is a six-sided figure. Cut an equilateral triangle out of a piece of paper. Chop off little equilateral triangles at each tip of the triangle. What you have is a hexagonal piece of paper. Draw around it.

What is the formula to calculate sector?

A sector is a part of a circle which looks the same shape as a piece of a circular pie. You probably remember that Pi charts look like a circular cake cut into portions. We can calculate the area of the sector of a circle if we know the angle between the two straight sides and the radius of the circle. Now the area of a complete circle is Pi x square of radius, If the radius is 12 cm then the circle's area will be Pi x square of 12 square centimetres. But that is for the full circle. If the sector's angle is 60 degrees, that would mean that the area of the sector would be 60 degrees/360 degrees which equals 1/6; so finally, the area of the sector is (Pi x 12 squared) divided by 6 = 75.398 sq cm )correct to 4 decimal places).

What are properties of angles?

They are measures of angular displacement. In two dimensional space they may be measured in degrees (by beginners) or in radians. There are 2*pi radians in a revolution.

In 3-d space angles are measured in steradians. A sphere measures 4*pi steradians

What is systematc random sampling?

Usually applied to accounting, so I will answer based on accounting. If a company has 3000 accounts numbered from 1 to 3000. Lets say you are to look at 100 files. 3000/100 = 30, random sampling is not choosing every 30th account. That does not give an equal chance of selecting each file. File 101 would never be selected. This is a biased sampling. You must use some kind of random number generator to select the 100 files to look at so that every file has an equal probability of being reviewed.

What are the parts of trigonometry?

The main part of trigonometry is the study of triangles on spheres. Also, another part of trigonometry is the constant positive curvature.

Math trivias with answers?

1.An ant is determined to climb a flagpole that is 18 feet tall . Each day

2.a sphere has two sides . However there are one sided surfaces.

If a 25 foot ladder is leaning against a housemand it has a base of 9 feet from the house. The ladder is moved 6 more feet from the house how far will the ladder slide down the house?

By Pythagoras, if the initial height of the ladder is H1 feet, then

252 = H12 + 92 so H12 = 252 - 92 = 544 so that H1 = 23.32 ft.

After the move, the base of the ladder is 15 ft from the wall. If the height now is H2 feet, then

252 = H22 + 152 so H22 = 252 - 152 = 400 so that H2 = 20 ft.

So the ladder will slide down 3.32 ft or 3 ft 3.9 inches, approx.

The graph of sine and cosine function?

Placing a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered.

How many sides faces edges and vertexes does a octahedron have?

An octahedron is an eight sided polyhedron. It has eight sides or faces, 12 edges, and six vertexes. Please see the Related Link below for more information and a picture.

How is the golden ratio worked out?

(a+b)/a=a/b=phi (the golden ratio, as defined)

(a+b)/a=phi (we'll solve this equation)

1+b/a=phi (just changing the form of the left side a little)

1+1/phi=phi (a/b=phi so b/a=1/phi)

phi+1=phi2 (multiply both sides by phi)

phi2-phi-1=0 (rearrange)

From here, we can use the quadratic equation to find the positive solution:

phi=(-b+√(b2-4ac))/(2a)

phi=(1+√(1+4))/2

phi=(1+√5)/2≈1.618

Does every angle have a vertex?

Every angle has a vertex. A vertex is simply the line through the center of each angle. The line splits the angle exactly in half.

How is mathematics used in airplanes?

Mathematics are important to pilots in many many many ways. Every pilot is aware of the effect weight and balance has on aircraft performance and must be able to use simple equations to quantify these effects on paper before applying them on the runway. Likewise, geometry is vital when navigating aircraft. There are no highways to speak of, and so aircraft navigate using directional headings. Pilots must also be able to use the navigation radio system to triangulate their location on charts and the like.

Pilots are constantly figuring numbers in their heads. Whether he's calculating the ETA based on airspeed minus windspeed (corrected for wind direction) divided by the remaining distance to destination or using fuel consumption info to figure out if that headwind is going to keep him from making it in one go, a good pilot is always thinking of some number it seems. Computerized systems have made some of this automatic, but there will always be a need for math in the cockpit.

How do you calculate cosine of an angle?

To calculate the cosine in a right angled triangle:
