  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    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.

  3. Stadium (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

    The salinon (red) and the circle (blue) have the same area. The salinon (meaning 'salt-cellar' in Greek) is a geometrical figure that consists of four semicircles . It was first introduced in the Book of Lemmas , a work attributed to Archimedes .

  6. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter. The semi-minor axis (minor semiaxis) of an ellipse or hyperbola is a line segment that is at right angles with the semi-major axis and has one end at the center of the conic section.

    For convenience, sometimes another half-circle from 180 to 360 degrees may be graduated in another line on the limb. [1] The form was introduced in Philippe Danfrie's Déclaration de l’usage du graphomètre (Paris, 1597) [2] [3] and the term graphometer was popular with French geodesists.
