Math Problem Statement
how do derive the angles, I can't locate them
Solution
To derive the angles and expressions for the spherical triangle using the coordinates and , we follow the setup given in the figure and the explanation:
-
Coordinate System Setup:
- The -axis points towards the vertex .
- The -axis points towards vertex .
- The vertex corresponds to the point .
-
Expressions for the angles:
-
(the angle between the -axis and the line connecting and in the -plane):
- Given by , where is the angle at vertex .
-
(the angle between the -axis and the line connecting and in the -plane):
- Given by , where is the side opposite vertex .
-
(the angle between the -axis and the line connecting and in the -plane):
- Given by , where is the angle at vertex .
-
(the angle between the -axis and the line connecting and in the -plane):
- Given by , where is the side opposite vertex .
-
(the distance between and along the sphere):
- Given by , where is the side opposite vertex .
-
Thus, the derived expressions for the angles and the sides are:
