For two right-angled triangles, if an angle (other than the right angle) is the same, the third angle will also be the same. This is true because angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Trigonometry is found all throughout geometry, as every straight-sided shape may be ...

New angle on trigonometry. Monday, 19 September 2005 Anna Salleh ABC. ... The spread between two lines is a number between 0 (representing parallel lines) and 1 (representing lines at right angles).

I'm talking about trigonometry, of course: that bastion of angles and triangles that is essential to calculating velocity, momentum, and much more.

To solve for a hypotenuse (the longest side), you must start with a right triangle, which contains a 90-degree angle. From there, you square the length of each side.

A 3,700-year old Babylonian clay tablet reveals an ancient method of constructing right-angled triangles that makes it the world’s oldest and most accurate trigonometric table.

New angle on trigonometry. Anna Salleh. ABC Science Online. ... The spread between two lines is a number between 0 (representing parallel lines) and 1 (representing lines at right angles).

However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used special globes and instruments to make measurements and teach.
