Key Formulas

Unit Conversion

$y = x \cdot k$

Multiply by conversion factor.

Linear Interpolation

$y = y_1 + \frac{(x - x_1)(y_2 - y_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

Estimate between two known points.

Percentage

$p = \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \times 100\%$

Part as fraction of whole.

Variables

Half-Angle Formula Application

The Law of Sines relates to the triangle's semi-perimeter (s) for calculating half-angles, which can be useful for finding angles when all three side lengths are known.

Formula for Half-Angle: $\sin\left(\frac{1}{2}A\right) = \sqrt{\frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{bc}}$

Semi-perimeter (s): $s = \frac{1}{2}(a + b + c)$

This method is particularly valuable in computational geometry and structural analysis where you need to derive internal angles from measured side lengths without direct angular measurement.
