Sentence examples for rectangular coordinates from inspiring English sources

By assuming or measuring a direction of one of the courses and rectangular coordinates of one of the stations, the rectangular coordinates of all the stations can be computed.

In two- and three-dimensional Euclidean space, the distance formulas for points in rectangular coordinates are based on the Pythagorean theorem.

Analytic geometry was initiated by the French mathematician René Descartes (1596 1650), who introduced rectangular coordinates to locate points and to enable lines and curves to be represented with algebraic equations.

In this work Oresme conceived of the idea of using rectangular coordinates (latitudo and longitudo) and the resulting geometric figures to distinguish between uniform and nonuniform distributions of various quantities, even extending his definition to include three-dimensional figures.

Motion in three dimensions can be described by three rectangular coordinates or by the length of a line emanating from the origin and two angles (spherical coordinates); one of these angles is equivalent to degrees of longitude and the other to degrees of latitude.

The position of a point moving parallel to a plane (plane motion) can be described by two numbers: (1) either the distances of the point from two lines at right angles to one another on the plane (rectangular coordinates), or (2) the length of a line with one end fixed at the origin and the other end at the moving point and the angle that the line makes with a fixed axis (polar coordinates).

A rectangular coordinate system is used.

Chapman (1980) converted this approximation in rectangular coordinate system.

Rectangular coordinate is selected for representation of voltage.

The rectangular coordinate system is credited to Descartes.

The modeled region is gridded in a rectangular coordinate system (Fig. 5).
