  2. Hypotenuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotenuse

    The length of the hypotenuse is thus the square root of 169, denoted , which equals 13. The Pythagorean theorem, and hence this length, can also be derived from the law of cosines in trigonometry . In a right triangle, the cosine of an angle is the ratio of the leg adjacent of the angle and the hypotenuse.

  3. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Square root. Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 52 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that ; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1] For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16 ...

    The square root of 2 (approximately 1.4142) is the positive real number that, when multiplied by itself or squared, equals the number 2. ... and ⁠ 239 / 169 ...

  5. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    The sides of the squares used to construct a silver spiral are the Pell numbers. In mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers, known since ancient times, that comprise the denominators of the closest rational approximations to the square root of 2. This sequence of approximations begins ⁠11⁠, ⁠32⁠, ⁠75 ...

  6. 239 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/239_(number)

    239/169 is a convergent of the continued fraction of the square root of 2, so that 239 2 = 2 · 169 2 − 1. Related to the above, π/4 rad = 4 arctan(1/5) − arctan(1/239) = 45°. 239 · 4649 = 1111111, so 1/239 = 0.0041841 repeating, with period 7.

    One can prove [citation needed] that = is the largest possible number for which the stopping criterion | + | < ensures ⌊ + ⌋ = ⌊ ⌋ in the algorithm above.. In implementations which use number formats that cannot represent all rational numbers exactly (for example, floating point), a stopping constant less than 1 should be used to protect against round-off errors.

In plane geometry, dividing a square along its diagonal results in two isosceles right triangles, each with one right angle (90°, ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) and two other congruent angles each measuring half of a right angle (45°, or ...

  9. 169 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/169_(number)

    In mathematics. 169 is an odd number, a composite number, and a deficient number. 169 is a square number: 13 × 13 = 169, and if each number is reversed the equation is still true: 31 × 31 = 961. 144 shares this property: 12 × 12 = 144, 21 × 21 = 441. 169 is one of the few squares to also be a centered hexagonal number.
