Reflex angle 0

Reflex angle

How about reflex angles? This entry briefly looks at reflex angles. Reflex angles are angles greater than 180° and less than 360°. Below is an example of a reflex angle.

Straight angle 0

Straight angle

Let us look very briefly at straight angles. A straight angle in geometry is an angle that measures exactly 180°. The angle is flat and is just a single straight line. An example of...

Obtuse angle 0

Obtuse angle

Let us look very briefly at obtuse angles. Below is an example of an obtuse angle. Obtuse angles are in a range between 90° and 180°. Any angle less or more is not an...

Right angle ∟ 0

Right angle ∟

This type of angles is very popular or common in geometry. It is a very special angle and very easy to remember. The angle is so used it has it’s own computer character/symbol (∟)....

Acute angles 0

Acute angles

Here we shall look very briefly at acute angles. Among different types and sizes of angles is the acute angle. Acute angles smaller than a right angle (less than 90°) are called acute angles....

Angles 0

Angles

This entry explores the basics of angles. An angle shape, composed of two lines or rays diverging from a common point known as the vertex. There are various types of angles. All angles have...

Abscissa 0

Abscissa

Abscissa is the horizontal coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system. The term is used when measuring in the horizontal axis of a two-dimensional graph. Typically the coordinates of any point say...

Addition formulae 0

Addition formulae

This section explores using the addition formulae. You need to be able to use the addition formulae. Addition formulae explores trigonometric functions of sums of angles α ± β in terms of functions of...

Factor Formulae 1

Factor Formulae

This page explores factor formulae. The factor formulae can be used to express sums and differences of sines and cosines as products of sines and/or cosines. The factor formulae shown below are derived from...
