PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. A semicircle can be used to construct the arithmetic and geometric means of two lengths using straight-edge and compass.
The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

A stadium is a two-dimensional geometric shape constructed of a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. [1] The same shape is known also as a pill shape, [2] discorectangle, [3] obround, [4] [5] or sausage body. [6] The shape is based on a stadium, a place used for athletics and horse racing tracks.
This glossary of geography terms is a list of definitions of terms and concepts used in geography and related fields, including Earth science, oceanography, cartography, and human geography, as well as those describing spatial dimension, topographical features, natural resources, and the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic ...
A 3D torus prim created in Second Life, an example of a parametric shape A Parametric shape is a standardized two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape defined by a minimal set of parameters, such as an ellipse defined by two points at its foci, or three points at its center, vertex, and co-vertex.
The categorization of technical geography in the EOLSS as a branch is expanded upon by Ionel Haidu in his 2016 paper What is technical geography as being a consequence of cartography shifting from simply producing maps to producing spatial information, influenced by a culmination of information theory and technology like the World Wide Web.
