Hey, this one is nice! I will venture the following: * 3: make them tangent in one point, with no intersection * 2: make them have a small intersection, ie. crossing in two points * 1: make them tangent from the inside * 0: make one fall completely within the other Giving the explanation would just be killing the imagination.

What do you call a rectangle with 2 circles at each end?

The shape you are describing is called a "stadium" or a "racetrack" shape. It consists of a rectangle with two semicircles attached at each end. This shape is often used in architecture and engineering for design and structural purposes.


What is the arc tangent of pi over two?

The arc tangent is the recicple of the tangent which is also known as the cotangent. The tangent of π/2 is undefined, thus the cotangent would be zero.


How do you use sine cosine and tangent?

They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.
