PlanarAngle[p{q1,q2}]
gives the angle between the half‐lines from p through q1 and q2.
PlanarAngle[{q1,p,q2}]
gives the angle at p formed by the triangle with vertex points p, q1 and q2.
PlanarAngle[…,"spec"]
gives the angle specified by "spec".
DetailsThe angle between the half‐lines from {0,0} through {1,1} and {1,0}:
The angle formed by a triangle at origin:
Scope (7) Basic Uses (2)Use PlanarAngle to find the angle between two half‐lines:
PlanarAngle works with numeric arguments:
Specifications (5) "Counterclockwise" (1)The angle formed by a counterclockwise rotation:
"Clockwise" (1)The angle formed by a clockwise rotation:
"Interior" (1)The interior angle of a triangle at the origin:
"Exterior" (1)The exterior angle of a triangle at the origin:
"FullExterior" (1)The full exterior angle of a triangle at the origin:
Applications (6)Find the interior angle of a triangle at a point p:
An AASTriangle:
Properties & Relations (7)PlanarAngle[p,{q2,q1}] is equal to 2π-PlanarAngle[p,{q1,q2}]:
PlanarAngle[{q1,p,q2},"Interior"] is the smallest angle formed by the rotations around p:
PlanarAngle[p{q1,q2}] takes values from 0 to 2π:
PlanarAngle[{q1,p,q2}] takes values from 0 to π:
Dihedral angle is the planar angle in the plane defined by the normal p2-p1 and a point p1:
PlanarAngle[p->{q1,q2}] is equivalent to PolygonAngle[ℛ, p] where q1 and q2 are adjacent points of p in a polygon ℛ:
PlanarAngle[{q1,p,q2}] is equivalent to SolidAngle[p,{q1,q2}:
