TRIGONOMETRY
Across
- 2. credited with compiling the first trigonometric table, is known as "the father of trigonometry".
- 5. the reciprocal of the ratio sin A
- 8. the technique used in astronomy to measure the distance to nearby stars, in geography to measure distances between landmarks, and in satellite navigation systems.
- 10. The law can be used to compute the remaining sides of a triangle when two angles and a side are known
Down
- 1. arriving from Greek trigōnon, "triangle" and metron, "measure" ,a branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles.
- 3. The law of cosines is useful for computing the third side of a triangle when two sides and their enclosed angle are known, and in computing the angles of a triangle if all three sides are known
- 4. the reciprocal of the ratio cos A
- 6. side opposite to the 90 degree angle in a right triangle;
- 7. equations that hold true for any value
- 9. the reciprocals of the ratio tan A.
