Formula Used

The formula used depends on the type of angle calculation you're performing:

Triangle Angle Formula

For a triangle with sides a, b, and c, the angle opposite side a can be found using the Law of Cosines:

cos(A) = (b² + c² - a²) / (2bc)

Then, A = arccos(cos(A)) in degrees

Circle Angle Formula

For a circle with radius r and arc length s, the central angle θ in degrees is:

θ = (s / r) × (180 / π)

Coordinate Geometry Angle Formula

For two lines with slopes m1 and m2, the angle θ between them in degrees is:

θ = arctan(|(m1 - m2) / (1 + m1m2)|) in degrees

Worked Examples

Triangle Angle Example

Given a triangle with sides a=5, b=6, c=7, find the angle opposite side a.

Using the Law of Cosines:

cos(A) = (6² + 7² - 5²) / (2 × 6 × 7) = (36 + 49 - 25) / 84 = 60/84 ≈ 0.7143

A ≈ arccos(0.7143) ≈ 44.42°

Circle Angle Example

Given a circle with radius 10 and arc length 15, find the central angle.

θ = (15 / 10) × (180 / π) ≈ 27.27°

Coordinate Geometry Angle Example

Given two lines with slopes m1=2 and m2=0.5, find the angle between them.

θ = arctan(|(2 - 0.5) / (1 + 2×0.5)|) = arctan(|1.5 / 2|) ≈ arctan(0.75) ≈ 36.87°
