One hypothesis about the shape of the universe is that the universe is in the space of Euclidean geometry and flat. In Euclidean geometry, it is assumed that straight lines extend everywhere, planes ...
Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...
THE author of this book, who is one of the naval instructors on H.M.S. Britannia, has brought together the most important rules which are used in the solution of spherical triangles, and, after ...
Understanding different types of angles and that angles in a triangle sum to 180° can be helpful when classifying a triangle. Recognising line symmetry and rotational symmetry will also help. Look for ...
In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. This is one of the basic principles of Euclidean geometry. But we live on a spherical Earth, so we cannot travel the straight line path ...
