Inscribed angle "V" and whose sides pass through points "A" and "B". Draw line "OA". Angle "BOA" is a central angle; call it "θ". Lines "OV" and "OA" are both radii of the circle, so they have equal lengths. Therefore, triangle "VOA" is isosceles, so angle "BVA" (the inscribed angle) and angle "VAO" are equal; let each of them be denoted as "ψ". Angles "BOA" and "AOV" are supplementary. They add up to 180°, since line "VB" passing through "O" is a straight line. Therefore, angle "AOV" measures 180° − "θ". It is known that the three angles of a triangle add
Helix angle from the perspective of a supplier of threaded fasteners. Helix angle In mechanical engineering, a helix angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right, circular cylinder or cone. Common applications are screws, helical gears, and worm gears. The helix angle references the axis of the cylinder, distinguishing it from the lead angle, which references a line perpendicular to the axis. Naturally, the helix angle is the geometric complement of the lead angle. The helix angle is measured in degrees. In terms specific to screws, the helix angle can be found by unraveling the helix
