Conical sections

The force of gravity determines the trajectories of the celestial bodies. Mathematical analysis reveals that there are three types of trajectories possible for a body moving in a gravitational field determined by Newton’s law of gravity. If one of the … Fortsätt läsa

Similarity

Two triangles are similar if all the corresponding angles are equal. Then the ratios of the corresponding sides to each other are the same for both triangles. In the fig above AB/BC = DE/EF or AB/DE = BC/EF. A list … Fortsätt läsa

Cylindrical coordinates

Cylindrical coordinates can be considered as a hybrid between spherical coordinates and rectangular coordinates. The coordinates of a point is given by the angle between the projection of the point in the xy-plame Φ and two distances: the distance from the … Fortsätt läsa

Dimensions and different coordinate sytems

The number of figures necessary for specifying the position of a point is called the dimension of the space. For a two dimensional space it is sufficient to use two numbers (x, y) : one specifying the position on a … Fortsätt läsa

Chord-tangent theorem

The measure of the angle formed in the intersection between the chord of a circle and the tangent to the circle is the same as the angle at the periphery of the circle. Click here to se the proof

Euclidean postulates, theorems and definitions 3

Geometri teorem den 29 juli 2012 00:02 Om två vinklar är vertikalvinklar är de båda vinklarna lika stora. (If two angles are vertical angles then the two angles are congruent.) Två trianglar är kongruenta (likadana) om två sidor och mellanliggande … Fortsätt läsa

Euclidean postulates, theorems and definitions 2

1. The sum of the measures of the four interior angles of a convex quadrilateral is 360 degrees, a constant. Two triangles are congruent (i.e. identical) if two angles and a non- included side of the first triangle are congruent … Fortsätt läsa
