  2. Duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplication

    Duplication, or doubling, multiplication by 2; Duplication matrix, a linear transformation dealing with half-vectorization; Doubling the cube, a problem in geometry also known as duplication of the cube; A type of multiplication theorem called the Legendre duplication formula or simply "duplication formula"

  3. Multiplication theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_theorem

    The duplication formula and the multiplication theorem for the gamma function are the prototypical examples. The duplication formula for the gamma function is (+) = ().It is also called the Legendre duplication formula [1] or Legendre relation, in honor of Adrien-Marie Legendre.

  4. AA postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_postulate

    In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. The AA postulate follows from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. By knowing two angles, such as 32° and 64° degrees, we know that the next angle is 84°, because 180 ...

  5. Parametrization (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, and more specifically in geometry, parametrization (or parameterization; also parameterisation, parametrisation) is the process of finding parametric equations of a curve, a surface, or, more generally, a manifold or a variety, defined by an implicit equation. The inverse process is called implicitization. [1] "

  6. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2. The impossibility of doubling the cube is therefore equivalent to the statement that 2 3 {\displaystyle {\sqrt[{3}]{2}}} is not a constructible number .

  7. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    In Euclidean geometry, the intersecting chords theorem, or just the chord theorem, is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal. It is Proposition 35 of Book 3 of Euclid's Elements.

  8. Rhomboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboid

    Traditionally, in two-dimensional geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are non-right angled.. The terms "rhomboid" and "parallelogram" are often erroneously conflated with each other (i.e, when most people refer to a "parallelogram" they almost always mean a rhomboid, a specific subtype of parallelogram); however, while all rhomboids ...

  9. Distance geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_geometry

    Distance geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with characterizing and studying sets of points based only on given values of the distances between pairs of points. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] More abstractly, it is the study of semimetric spaces and the isometric transformations between them.
