  2. Ø - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø

    The "∅" symbol is always drawn as a slashed circle, whereas in most typefaces the letter "Ø" is a slashed ellipse. The diameter symbol ( ⌀ ) (Unicode character U+2300) is similar to the lowercase letter ø, and in some typefaces it even uses the same glyph , although in many others the glyphs are subtly distinguishable (normally, the ...

  3. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    A new circle C 3 of radius r 1 − r 2 is drawn centered on O 1. Using the method above, two lines are drawn from O 2 that are tangent to this new circle. These lines are parallel to the desired tangent lines, because the situation corresponds to shrinking both circles C 1 and C 2 by a constant amount, r 2, which shrinks C 2 to a point.

    Creating the line through two points; Creating the circle that contains one point and has a center at another point; Creating the point at the intersection of two (non-parallel) lines; Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of a line and a circle (if they intersect)

  5. Tangential quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_quadrilateral

    If the incircle is tangent to the sides AB, BC, CD, DA at T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4 respectively, and if N 1, N 2, N 3, N 4 are the isotomic conjugates of these points with respect to the corresponding sides (that is, AT 1 = BN 1 and so on), then the Nagel point of the tangential quadrilateral is defined as the intersection of the lines N 1 N 3 and N ...

  6. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

    This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle, and the vertices are said to be concyclic. The center of the circle and its radius are called the circumcenter and the circumradius respectively. Usually the quadrilateral is assumed to be convex, but there are also crossed cyclic quadrilaterals. The formulas and properties given ...

  7. Villarceau circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villarceau_circles

    The torus plays a central role in the Hopf fibration of the 3-sphere, S 3, over the ordinary sphere, S 2, which has circles, S 1, as fibers. When the 3-sphere is mapped to Euclidean 3-space by stereographic projection, the inverse image of a circle of latitude on S 2 under the fiber map is a torus, and the fibers themselves are Villarceau ...

  8. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    Draw the line m through the given points P and Q. The point G is where the lines l and m intersect; Draw circle C that has PQ as diameter. Draw one of the tangents from G to circle C. point A is where the tangent and the circle touch. Draw circle D with center G through A. Circle D cuts line l at the points T1 and T2.

  9. Diagonal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal

    The word diagonal derives from the ancient Greek διαγώνιος diagonios, [1] "from corner to corner" (from διά- dia-, "through", "across" and γωνία gonia, "corner", related to gony "knee"); it was used by both Strabo [2] and Euclid [3] to refer to a line connecting two vertices of a rhombus or cuboid, [4] and later adopted into ...
