英语词汇“tangent length”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

b. Geometry. A straight line which touches a curve (or curved surface), i.e. meets it at a point and being produced does not (ordinarily) intersect it at that point. spec. in Surveying, a tangent to a curve at a point ( tangent point) where the curve starts or finishes; frequently attributive, as tangent distance, tangent length, the length of such a tangent from the tangent point to its intersection with the other tangent.In Higher Geometry a tangent is regarded as the limiting position of a line intersecting a curve when the two (or more) points of intersection coincide, and is hence defined as a straight line passing through two (or more) consecutive points of the curve. If the curve be conceived as traced by a moving particle, the tangent at any point of it represents the direction of motion at that point; hence a body moving in a curve, when the restraining force is withdrawn, flies off at a tangent, i.e. along the tangent (cf. the figurative use in B. 1c). At a point of inflection, where the curvature (i.e. deviation from the straight line) changes its direction, the tangent intersects as well as touches the curve.
