It is written that at one time in the distant past Hindu-Arabic numerals or digits were once encoded with secret geometrical symbols inasmuch that the first digit of 1 had either an arc or an angle hidden in it of 36 degrees and then thereafter each consecutive digit was increased by increments of 36 degrees by means of arcs and angles or a combination of both in which the 0 digit finally consisted of 360 degrees.

As a consequence of these concealed codes the digit degree sum of any number from 1 to infinity would always finally add up 9 degrees as the following example shows:-

Digit degree sum of 2357 = 36*(2+3+5+7) = 612 => 6+1+2 = 9 degrees

Over the past thousands of years Hindu-Arabic numerals have been transformed into the configuration that we use today but the zero figure at one time probably resembled a circle which even today consist of ten arcs of 36 degrees amounting to 360 degrees.

Does trigonometry only involves angles?

No, it also involves sides of polygonal shapes, and their counterparts in 3 or more dimensional spaces.


How to wokout triangle angles?

That depends, what it is you know. For example, if you know two of the angles, you can use the rule that the sum of the three angles must be 180 degrees. If you know the sides, the calculation is different, and involves trigonometry.


What is the connection between an external angle and an internal angle?

They are supplementary angles. That is, their sum is 180 degrees (or pi radians).


Is the latitude and longitude based on measurement of the solar diameter?

No. They're strictly measurements of angles on the Earth's surface. They have no connection with any current solar characteristic, any more than angles on the surface of a basketball have.


What are classifying angles?

Classifying angles involves categorizing them based on their measurements. Angles can be classified as acute (between 0 and 90 degrees), right (exactly 90 degrees), obtuse (between 90 and 180 degrees), or straight (exactly 180 degrees). This classification helps us identify and compare angles in geometric figures.

What are the principles in forensic ballistics?

Principles in forensic ballistics include examining firearms, bullets, and cartridge cases to determine their source or connection to a crime. This involves analyzing the characteristics of these items, such as rifling marks, to match them to a specific weapon. Forensic ballistics also encompasses reconstructing shooting incidents to determine trajectories and angles of bullets.

How do you find the diagonal of a rectangular prism?

If the prism is a rectangular parallelepiped (that is, all the angles are right angles), just add the squares of the 3 dimensions (length, width, and height) together, and take the square root. This involves 2 applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.


What Bond angle between sp and sp hybrids?

The bond angles between sp and sp hybrids are 180 degrees. This is because sp hybridization involves the combination of one s orbital and one p orbital, resulting in a linear geometry with bond angles of 180 degrees.
