Special right triangle triangles are used to aid in calculating common trigonometric functions, as below: The 45°–45°–90° triangle, the 30°–60°–90° triangle, and the equilateral/equiangular (60°–60°–60°) triangle are the three Möbius triangles in the plane, meaning that they tessellate the plane via reflections in their sides; see Triangle group. In plane geometry, constructing the diagonal of a square results in a triangle whose three angles are in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2, adding up to 180° or radians. Hence, the angles respectively measure 45° (), 45° (), and 90° (). The sides in this triangle are in the ratio 1 : 1
Euler angles from −1 to 1, and let "β" = arccos("z"). Other properties of Euler angles and rotations in general can be found from the Geometric algebra(GA). GA is a higher level abstraction, in which the quaternions are an even subalgebra. The principal tool in GA is the rotor formula_42 where formula_43angle of rotation, formula_44rotation axis (unitary vector) and formula_45pseudoscalar (trivector in formula_46) It is possible to define parameters analogous to the Euler angles in dimensions higher than three. The number of degrees of freedom of a rotation matrix is always less than the dimension of the matrix squared. That is, the
