2. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance. In three-dimensional Euclidean space, a line and a plane that do not share a point are also said to be parallel.

3. Geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

   Geometry(from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία(geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ(gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον(métron) 'a measure')[1]is a branch of mathematicsconcerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.[2] Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches ...

4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

   Cartesian coordinate system with a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of a circle is (x − a)2 + (y − b)2 = r2 where a and b are the coordinates of the center (a, b) and r is the radius. Cartesian coordinates are named for René Descartes, whose invention of them in the 17th century revolutionized ...

5. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   A cross-section view of a compression seal. In geometry and science, a cross section is the non-empty intersection of a solid body in three-dimensional space with a plane, or the analog in higher- dimensional spaces. Cutting an object into slices creates many parallel cross-sections. The boundary of a cross-section in three-dimensional space ...

6. Parallel (operator) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(operator)

   Graphical interpretation of the parallel operator with =.. The parallel operator ‖ (pronounced "parallel", [1] following the parallel lines notation from geometry; [2] [3] also known as reduced sum, parallel sum or parallel addition) is a mathematical function which is used as a shorthand in electrical engineering, [4] [5] [6] [nb 1] but is also used in kinetics, fluid mechanics and ...

7. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points. Transversals play a role in establishing whether two or more other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel. The intersections of a transversal with two lines create various types of pairs of angles: consecutive interior angles ...
