  2. Coplanarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coplanarity

    In geometry, a set of points in space are coplanar if there exists a geometric plane that contains them all. For example, three points are always coplanar, and if the points are distinct and non-collinear, the plane they determine is unique. However, a set of four or more distinct points will, in general, not lie in a single plane.

  3. Skew lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_lines

    A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron. Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions. Two lines are skew if and only if they are not coplanar.

  4. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    (L3) at least dimension 2 if it has at least 3 non-collinear points (or two lines, or a line and a point not on the line), (L4) at least dimension 3 if it has at least 4 non-coplanar points. The maximum dimension may also be determined in a similar fashion. For the lowest dimensions, they take on the following forms. A projective space is of:

  5. Anti-periplanar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-periplanar

    2 Examples of anti-periplanar geometry in mechanisms. ... Anti-periplanar is often used in textbooks to mean strictly anti-coplanar, [2] ... a non-profit organization.

  6. Plücker coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_coordinates

    Example. Let x = (2, 3, 7) ... If three distinct and non-coplanar lines intersect in a point, their linear combinations generate a two-parameter family of lines, all ...

  7. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point. 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.

  8. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    The x and y coordinates of the point of intersection of two non-vertical lines can easily be found using the following substitutions and rearrangements. Suppose that two lines have the equations y = ax + c and y = bx + d where a and b are the slopes (gradients) of the lines and where c and d are the y-intercepts of the lines.

  9. Planar chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_chirality

    A planar chiral derivative of ferrocene, used for kinetic resolution of some racemic secondary alcohols [1]. This term is used in chemistry contexts, [2] e.g., for a chiral molecule lacking an asymmetric carbon atom, but possessing two non-coplanar rings that are each dissymmetric and which cannot easily rotate about the chemical bond connecting them: 2,2'-dimethylbiphenyl is perhaps the ...
