Concerning Rapidity, if tanh(Fi) = v/c, can it be concluded in general that the relative angle of two frames in combination with Lorentz Transformation is tan(theta) = tanh(Fi) = v/c, where theta is the relative angle?

What do you mean by the "relative angle"?

I meants relative angle of the frames.
 
Simply the math connection between rapidity and the angle of two frames, not sure if this is clear?
