Angle Formulas

For a cyclic quadrilateral with successive sides a, b, c, d, semiperimeter s, and angle A between sides a and d, the trigonometric functions of A are given by

The angle θ between the diagonals satisfies

If the extensions of opposite sides a and c intersect at an angle , then

where s is the semiperimeter.

Famous quotes containing the words angle and/or formulas:

    I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics—that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.

    Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
