Angle Between Lines and Families

If two lines have slopes m1 and m2, the tangent of the angle theta between them is |m2-m11+m1 m2| when 1+m1 m2 != 0. If 1+m1 m2 = 0 they are perpendicular (already a page). A family of lines shares a form with a parameter, such as y = mx + 2 (all slopes, same intercept 2).

Angle Bisector

An angle bisector is the ray that splits an angle into two equal angles. To draw it: open a compass at the vertex and cut both arms with the same arc; from those two cut points draw equal arcs that meet; the line from the vertex through that meeting point is the bisector. In a triangle the three angle bisectors are concurrent. Their common point is the in-centre. The in-centre is always inside the

Angle of Elevation and Depression

Angle of elevation is the angle up from the horizontal to a line of sight (you look up at a tower). Angle of depression is the angle down from the horizontal (you look down from a cliff). The two are equal when they are alternate angles on parallel horizontals.

Arc Length and Sector Area

On a circle of radius r, a central angle theta in radians cuts an arc of length r theta and a sector of area (12) r^2 theta. If the angle is in degrees, convert first: thetarad = thetadeg x pi / 180.

Axioms and Postulates

Some facts are starting points, not trophies you prove. An axiom is a statement accepted without proof. The Greek word axioma meant a claim thought worthy of acceptance. In number work the same starting facts are often called properties, such as a = a. In geometry the starting facts are often called postulates: a postulate is a geometric axiom. Without a small agreed list, every proof would chase

Bearings from North

A bearing is a compass direction, usually a three-figure angle measured from North clockwise. North itself is 000, East is 090, South is 180, and West is 270. The bearing of B from A is the direction you would travel from A toward B. Keep three digits even for small angles: write 075, not 75 deg, when the question asks for a three-figure bearing.
