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 much minutes is 1000 secants?

A secant is not a subdivision of a minute.

Where did tetrahedrons come from?

Tetrahedrons are triangular based pyramids that have 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices which were built by the ancient Egyptians.

Where did the word negro come from?

If you're talking about the old word for black skinned people then 'negro' derived from Spanish meaning black. And if you just want the word.

English - Spanish

Black - Negro So it's Spanish Hope I helped :)

What is the meaning of acute angled triangle?

An acute angled triangle means all the angles are less than 90 degrees because an acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees.

What are the angles of a triangle that has sides of 123 cm 97 cm and 79 cm?

Let the angles be A B C and their opposite sides be a b c and use the cosine rule to find the first two angles and then deduct them from 180 degrees to find the third angle and so therefore it follows that the angles are: 88.05 degrees, 52.01 degrees and 39.94 degrees.

Who are the fathers of trigonometry and their contributions?

based on my stock knowledge, i think hipparchus is the father of trigonometry.....

What is the contribution of hipparchuss in trigonometry?

Hipparchus was recognized as the first mathematician known to have possessed a trigonometric table, which he needed when computing the eccentricity of the orbits of the Moon and Sun. He tabulated values for the chord function, which gives the length of the chord for each angle. He did this for a circle with a circumference of 21600 and a radius (rounded) of 3438 units: this circle has a unit length of 1 arc minute along its perimeter. He tabulated the chords for angles with increments of 7.5°.

Application of trigonometry in your daily life?

Trigonometry can be used to find the heights of buildings when paired with a sextant (a device for measuring angles from the buliding)

What was trigonometry originally used for?

The same as it is now : measurement of angles and the lengths of the sides of triangular shapes. More complex shapes ha to be broken down into triangles.

What did Menelaus contributed to trigonometry?

An important contribution by Menelaus of Alexandria was his works on geodesics.

What is a BSW and CAS degree mean?

BSW is a Bachelor's in Social Work.

A CAS is a Certificate of Advanced Study. It usually refers to a graduate school degree above the Masters level. It is not to be confused with a CERT degree.

What are the differences between four conic sections?

A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone.

The circle is a conic section where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone. The special case of a point is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.

The ellipse is a conic section where the plane is not perpendicular to the axis, but its angle is less than one of the nappes. The special case of a point is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.

The parabola is a conic section where the plane is parallel to one of the nappes. The special case of two intersecting lines is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.

The hyperbole is a conic section where the angle of the plane is greater than on of the nappes. There are two sides to the hyperbole. The special case of two lines intersecting is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.

What does S50W mean in a trig 3D problem?

S50W is a direction - approximately SouthWest) in two dimensional space. In a 3D problem, by itelf, S50W has no meaning at all.

What are the differences of function and mere relation?

A function can map each element in the domain to only one element in the codomain or range. A relation is not so restricted.

A simple non-mathematical illustration:

relation: y = biological parent(x)

function: z = biological mother(x)

Leaving aside complications from surrogacy or other exceptional situations, each person has only one natural mother. Siblings may share the same natuarl mother but they are different elements of the domain.

However, for each person, there are two biological parents. The relationship or mapping is said to be one to many, and is therefore not a function.

How do you find an angle in a triangle?

There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. Please restate the question and provide more information, such as some of the sides and/or some of the other angles.

Mathematicians and their contributions to trigonometry?

Several great mathematicians have made contributions to trigonometry. Pitiscus wrote books on plane and spherical trigonometry, and Hipparchus produced a table of chords.

Why is it impossiple for an angle to have a sine larger than 1?

sin(theta) is the y-coordinate of the intersection of a line forming an angle with the positive x-axis and the unit circle (i.e., circle of radius one, centered at the origin). The unit circle has its highest y-value at the point (0,1). Drawing the unit circle on a graph makes this obvious.

Assume that there were a higher y-value than one possible. y>1 --> y2>1. Because x2>=0 for all real x, y2>1 --> x2+y2>1, which is impossible for a point on the unit circle (since for all points on the unit circle (x,y), x2+y2=1).

How to measure phase angle on a scope?

To measure phase angle on a scope, connect the two inputs to the two sources, trigger off of one, and watch both. Measure the period of one and compare crossover difference with the other as a percentage of the period of the first, times 360 degrees.

Make sure the peak to peak offset for both inputs is equal, otherwise the crossover voltage won't be right.

Note that the period is 100% and is equivalent to 360 degrees. One way to make the calculation easier is to adjust the horizontal calibration so the first input has a period equal to 36 minor divisions - each division will equal 10 degrees in this case.

Also note, if you are comparing voltage and current, that your polarity is correct. This can be an issue if you are measuring across a small series resistor - the high side is voltage and the high to low side differential is current - but it is inverted.

Why oscillation important for physics?

Oscillation is a common phenomenon in physics.Sound and electromagnetic radiation (radio, light, x-rays etc propagate as sinusoidal waves which are oscillations about a mean value. Springs, pendulums (penduli?) oscillate about their rest position in simple harmonic motion, which is oscillation about the mean.
