... we create a right triangle with two 45° angles. Since the size of a triangle doesn’t matter in doing trig—only the ratios of the sides matter— we can decide that our original square has sides that are 1 unit long. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we calculate that the hypotenuse is 2 units long. If we ...

... Exercise 86. Can an exterior angle of an isosceles triangle be smaller than the supplementary interior angle? Consider the cases (a) where the angle is at the base, and (b) where the angle is at the vertex. In the case (a), the answer is no. For, let a and b be the base angles of an isosceles triang ...

Rule of marteloio

The rule of marteloio is a medieval technique of navigational computation that uses compass direction, distance and a simple trigonometric table known as the toleta de marteloio. The rule told mariners how to plot the traverse between two different navigation courses by means of resolving triangles with the help of the Toleta and basic arithmetic.Those uncomfortable with manipulating numbers could resort to the visual tondo e quadro (circle-and-square) and achieve their answer with dividers. The rule of marteloio was commonly used by Mediterranean navigators during the 14th and 15th centuries, before the development of astronomical navigation.
