Question
Use al-T?si's method to solve the spherical triangle with known sides of $40^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$ and with the angle between those sides equal to $25^{\circ}$.
Step 1
To convert degrees to radians, we use the formula: radians = (degrees * π) / 180 Side a = 40° = (40 * π) / 180 = (2 * π) / 9 radians Side b = 50° = (50 * π) / 180 = (5 * π) / 18 radians Angle C = 25° = (25 * π) / 180 = (5 * π) / 36 radians Show more…

Refer to various right triangles whose sides and angles are labeled as in Fig. 16. Round off all lengths of sides to one decimal place. If $t=.4$ and $c=5.0,$ find $a.$
The Trigonometric Functions
The Sine and the Cosine
Relate to spherical coordinates defined by $x=\rho \cos \theta \sin \phi, y=\rho \sin \theta \sin \phi$ and $z=\rho \cos \phi,$ where $0 \leq \rho, 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi$ and $0 \leq \phi \leq \pi$. Use the results of exercises $51-53$ to find parametric equations for (a) the top half-sphere $z=\sqrt{9-x^{2}-y^{2}}$ and (b) the right half-sphere $y=\sqrt{9-x^{2}-z^{2}}$.
