Biangular coordinates

From HandWiki
Biangular coordinates

In mathematics, biangular coordinates are a coordinate system for the plane where [math]\displaystyle{ C_1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ C_2 }[/math] are two fixed points, and the position of a point P not on the line [math]\displaystyle{ \overline{C_1C_2} }[/math] is determined by the angles [math]\displaystyle{ \angle PC_1C_2 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \angle PC_2C_1. }[/math] [1]

The sine rule can be used to convert from biangular coordinates to two-center bipolar coordinates.

Applications

Biangular coordinates can be used in geometric modelling and CAD. [2] [3]
