cotangency

/koʊˈtændʒənsi/

Cotangency is a geometric property describing the state of two curves or surfaces that touch each other at a single point and share a common tangent line or plane at that point. It implies that the slopes or derivatives of the curves are identical at the point of contact without the curves necessarily crossing one another.

사용 참고사항

Cotangency is primarily used in mathematical, architectural, and engineering contexts to describe the precise alignment of shapes. In business or general English, it is used metaphorically to describe things that align or touch without overlapping.

⚠️

자주 하는 실수

Learners often use the word 'cotangent' (the adjective/trig function) when they mean 'cotangency' (the noun describing the state).
