  2. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    Draw ray r from O (center of circle Ø) through P '. (Not labeled, it's the horizontal line) Draw line s through P ' perpendicular to r. (Not labeled. It's the vertical line) Let N be one of the points where Ø and s intersect. Draw the segment ON. Draw line t through N perpendicular to ON. P is where ray r and line t intersect.

  3. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  4. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    These graphs are partial cubes, graphs in which the nodes can be labeled by bitvectors in such a way that the graph distance equals the Hamming distance between labels. In the case of a line arrangement, each coordinate of the labeling assigns 0 to nodes on one side of one of the lines and 1 to nodes on the other side. [26]

  5. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    Next, the cube is rotated ±45° about the vertical axis, followed by a rotation of approximately 35.264° (precisely arcsin 1 ⁄ √ 3 or arctan 1 ⁄ √ 2, which is related to the Magic angle) about the horizontal axis. Note that with the cube (see image) the perimeter of the resulting 2D drawing is a perfect regular hexagon: all the black ...

  6. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    A perpendicular line from the centre of a circle bisects the chord. The line segment through the centre bisecting a chord is perpendicular to the chord. If a central angle and an inscribed angle of a circle are subtended by the same chord and on the same side of the chord, then the central angle is twice the inscribed angle.

  7. Lill's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lill's_method

    The vertical and horizontal lines are reflected off or refracted through in the following sequence: the line containing the segment corresponding to the coefficient of , then of , etc. Choosing θ so that the path lands on the terminus, the negative of the tangent of θ is a root of this polynomial. For every real zero of the polynomial there ...

  8. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    In such a 2D diagram of a 3D coordinate system, the z-axis would appear as a line or ray pointing down and to the left or down and to the right, depending on the presumed viewer or camera perspective. In any diagram or display, the orientation of the three axes, as a whole, is arbitrary.

  9. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    The conic sections – circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas – are plane sections of a cone with the cutting planes at various different angles, as seen in the diagram at left. Any cross-section passing through the center of an ellipsoid forms an elliptic region, while the corresponding plane sections are ellipses on its surface.
