If two ships are 70 nautical miles apart on the ocean, what is the great circle distance between them in radians?
The origins of the sine function are found in the tables of chords for a circle constructed by the Greek astronomers/mathematicians Hipparchus and Ptolemy. However, the origins of the tangent and cotangent functions lie primarily with Arabic and Islamic astronomers. Called the umbra recta and umbra versa, their connection was not to the chord of a circle but to the gnomon of a sundial. Research the origins of the tangent and cotangent functions. What was the connection to sundials? What other contributions did Arabic astronomers make to trigonometry? Write a paragraph or two about your findings.
