  • Section 5.5 Right Triangle Trigonometry 385
    Section 5.5 Right Triangle Trigonometry 385 Section 5.5 Right Triangle Trigonometry In section 5.3 we were introduced to the sine and cosine function as ratios of the sides of a triangle drawn inside a circle, and spent the rest of that section discussing the role of those functions in finding points on the circle. In this section, we return to the triangle, and explore the applications of the trigonometric functions to right triangles where circles may not be involved. Recall that we defined sine and cosine as (x, y) y sin( θ ) = r r y x cos( θ ) = θ r x Separating the triangle from the circle, we can make equivalent but more general definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent on a right triangle. On the right triangle, we will label the hypotenuse as well as the side opposite the angle and the side adjacent (next to) the angle. Right Triangle Relationships Given a right triangle with an angle of θ opposite sin( θ) = hypotenuse hypotenuse opposite adjacent cos( θ) = hypotenuse θ opposite adjacent tan( θ) = adjacent A common mnemonic for remembering these relationships is SohCahToa, formed from the first letters of “Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, Tangent is opposite over adjacent.” 386 Chapter 5 Example 1 Given the triangle shown, find the value for cos( α) . The side adjacent to the angle is 15, and the 17 hypotenuse of the triangle is 17, so 8 adjacent 15 cos( α) = = α hypotenuse 17 15 When working with general right triangles, the same rules apply regardless of the orientation of the triangle.

  • Thermodynamics of Spacetime: the Einstein Equation of State
    gr-qc/9504004 UMDGR-95-114 Thermodynamics of Spacetime: The Einstein Equation of State Ted Jacobson Department of Physics, University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-4111, USA [email protected] Abstract The Einstein equation is derived from the proportionality of entropy and horizon area together with the fundamental relation δQ = T dS connecting heat, entropy, and temperature. The key idea is to demand that this relation hold for all the local Rindler causal horizons through each spacetime point, with δQ and T interpreted as the energy flux and Unruh temperature seen by an accelerated observer just inside the horizon. This requires that gravitational lensing by matter energy distorts the causal structure of spacetime in just such a way that the Einstein equation holds. Viewed in this way, the Einstein equation is an equation of state. This perspective suggests that it may be no more appropriate to canonically quantize the Einstein equation than it would be to quantize the wave equation for sound in air. arXiv:gr-qc/9504004v2 6 Jun 1995 The four laws of black hole mechanics, which are analogous to those of thermodynamics, were originally derived from the classical Einstein equation[1]. With the discovery of the quantum Hawking radiation[2], it became clear that the analogy is in fact an identity. How did classical General Relativity know that horizon area would turn out to be a form of entropy, and that surface gravity is a temperature? In this letter I will answer that question by turning the logic around and deriving the Einstein equation from the propor- tionality of entropy and horizon area together with the fundamental relation δQ = T dS connecting heat Q, entropy S, and temperature T .

  • Circle Theorems
    Circle theorems A LEVEL LINKS Scheme of work: 2b. Circles – equation of a circle, geometric problems on a grid Key points • A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle. So AB is a chord. • A tangent is a straight line that touches the circumference of a circle at only one point. The angle between a tangent and the radius is 90°. • Two tangents on a circle that meet at a point outside the circle are equal in length. So AC = BC. • The angle in a semicircle is a right angle. So angle ABC = 90°. • When two angles are subtended by the same arc, the angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference. So angle AOB = 2 × angle ACB. • Angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal. This means that angles in the same segment are equal. So angle ACB = angle ADB and angle CAD = angle CBD. • A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with all four vertices on the circumference of a circle. Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral total 180°. So x + y = 180° and p + q = 180°. • The angle between a tangent and chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment, this is known as the alternate segment theorem. So angle BAT = angle ACB. Examples Example 1 Work out the size of each angle marked with a letter. Give reasons for your answers. Angle a = 360° − 92° 1 The angles in a full turn total 360°. = 268° as the angles in a full turn total 360°.

What special allowances would need to be made for such a design? 328 Drafting Career Burt Rutan, Aeronautical Engineer Effi cient travel through space has become an ambi- tion of aeronautical engineer, Burt Rutan. “I want to go high,” he says, “because that’s where the view is.” His unconventional designs have included every- thing from crafts that can enter space twice within a two week period, to planes than can circle the Earth without stopping to refuel. Designed by Rutan and built at his company, Scaled Composites LLC, the 202 Boomerang aircraft is named for its forward-swept asymmetrical wing. The design allows the Boomerang to fl y faster and farther than conventional twin-engine aircraft, hav- ing corrected aerodynamic mistakes made previously in twin-engine design.

  • 20. Geometry of the Circle (SC)
    20. GEOMETRY OF THE CIRCLE PARTS OF THE CIRCLE Segments When we speak of a circle we may be referring to the plane figure itself or the boundary of the shape, called the circumference. In solving problems involving the circle, we must be familiar with several theorems. In order to understand these theorems, we review the names given to parts of a circle. Diameter and chord The region that is encompassed between an arc and a chord is called a segment. The region between the chord and the minor arc is called the minor segment. The region between the chord and the major arc is called the major segment. If the chord is a diameter, then both segments are equal and are called semi-circles. The straight line joining any two points on the circle is called a chord. Sectors A diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle. It is, therefore, the longest possible chord of a circle. In the diagram, O is the center of the circle, AB is a diameter and PQ is also a chord. Arcs The region that is enclosed by any two radii and an arc is called a sector. If the region is bounded by the two radii and a minor arc, then it is called the minor sector. www.faspassmaths.comIf the region is bounded by two radii and the major arc, it is called the major sector. An arc of a circle is the part of the circumference of the circle that is cut off by a chord.

  • My Favourite Problem No.1 Solution
    My Favourite Problem No.1 Solution First write on the measurements given. The shape can be split into different sections as shown: d 8 e c b a 10 From Pythagoras’ Theorem we can see that BC2 = AC2 + AB2 100 = 64 + AB2 AB = 6 Area a + b + c = Area of Semi-circle on BC (radius 5) = Area c + d = Area of Semi-circle on AC (radius 4) = Area b + e = Area of Semi-circle on AB (radius 3) = Shaded area = Sum of semi-circles on AC and AB – Semi-circle on BC + Triangle Area d + e = d + c + b + e - (a + b + c ) + a = + - + = = 24 (i.e. shaded area is equal to the area of the triangle) The final solution required is one third of this area = 8 Surprisingly you do not need to calculate the areas of the semi-circles as we can extend the use of Pythagoras’ Theorem for other shapes on the three sides of a right-angled triangle. Triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so the sum of the areas of the two smaller semi-circles is equal to the area of the larger semi-circle on the hypotenuse BC. Consider a right- angled triangle of sides a, b and c. Then from Pythagoras’ Theorem we have that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to c a the sum of the squares on the other two sides. b Now if you multiply both sides by , this gives c which rearranges to . a b This can be interpreted as the area of the semi-circle on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the semi-circles on the other two sides.
