The synthetic affine definition of the midpoint M of a segment AB is the projective harmonic conjugate of the point at infinity, P, of the line AB. That is, the point M such that H[A,B; P,M]. [6] When coordinates can be introduced in an affine geometry, the two definitions of midpoint will coincide. [7]
A chord (from the Latin chorda, meaning "bowstring") of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circular arc. If a chord were to be extended infinitely on both directions into a line, the object is a secant line. The perpendicular line passing through the chord's midpoint is called sagitta (Latin for "arrow").
The width of a vessel at its widest point, or a point alongside the ship at the midpoint of its length. beam ends The sides of a ship. To describe a ship as "on her beam ends" may mean the vessel is literally on her side and possibly about to capsize; more often, the phrase means the vessel is listing 45 degrees or more. beam reach
The pointset of the radical axis is indeed a line and is perpendicular to the line through the circle centers. (is a normal vector to the radical axis !) Dividing the equation by | |, one gets the Hessian normal form. Inserting the position vectors of the centers yields the distances of the centers to the radical axis:

A line segment joining a vertex of a tetrahedron with the centroid of the opposite face is called a median, and a line segment joining the midpoints of two opposite edges is called a bimedian. Hence there are four medians and three bimedians. These seven line segments all meet at the centroid of the tetrahedron. [23]
