Construction of a perpendicular line. This construction does require the use of the given circle and takes advantage of Thales's theorem. From a given line m, and a given point A in the plane, a perpendicular to the line is to be constructed through the point. Provided is the given circle O(r).
Other models of hyperbolic space can be thought of as map projections of S +: the Beltrami–Klein model is the projection of S + through the origin onto a plane perpendicular to a vector from the origin to specific point in S + analogous to the gnomonic projection of the sphere; the Poincaré disk model is a projection of S + through a point ...
Note that with the cube (see image) the perimeter of the resulting 2D drawing is a perfect regular hexagon: all the black lines have equal length and all the cube's faces are the same area. Isometric graph paper can be placed under a normal piece of drawing paper to help achieve the effect without calculation.
Suppose you have a line a and a point A on that line, and you want to construct a line perpendicular to a and through A. Then let a' be a line through A where a and a' are two distinct lines. Then you will have one of two cases. [3] Case 1: a is perpendicular to a' In this case, we already have the line perpendicular to a through A. [3]
D 1h and C 2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line in that plane; D 1d and C 2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation through a line perpendicular to that plane. S 2 is the group of order 2 with a single inversion (C i). "Equal" is meant here as the same up to conjugacy ...
The point P is the inversion point of Q; the polar is the line through P that is perpendicular to the line containing O, P and Q. If point R is the inverse of point P then the lines perpendicular to the line PR through one of the points is the polar of the other point (the pole). Poles and polars have several useful properties:
A cross-section of a solid right circular cylinder extending between two bases is a disk if the cross-section is parallel to the cylinder's base, or an elliptic region (see diagram at right) if it is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base. If the cutting plane is perpendicular to the base it consists of a rectangle (not shown) unless it ...
Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.
