  2. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as U 1 = (a 1, b 1, c 1) and U 2 = (a 2, b 2, c 2). The intersection P′ of two lines is then simply given by [4]

  3. Topological geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_Geometry

    Topological geometry deals with incidence structures consisting of a point set and a family of subsets of called lines or circles etc. such that both and carry a topology and all geometric operations like joining points by a line or intersecting lines are continuous.

  4. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the lineline intersection between two distinct lines , which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex ) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel ).

  5. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    The widely accepted interpretation of, e.g. the Poggendorff and Hering illusions as manifestation of expansion of acute angles at line intersections, is an example of successful implementation of a "bottom-up," physiological explanation of a geometrical–optical illusion. Ponzo illusion in a purely schematic form and, below, with perspective clues

  6. Mohr–Mascheroni theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Mascheroni_theorem

    D, the other point of intersection of the two circles, is the reflection of C across the line AB. If C = D (that is, there is a unique point of intersection of the two circles), then C is its own reflection and lies on the line AB (contrary to the assumption), and the two circles are internally tangential.

  8. Power diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_diagram

    The radical axis of two intersecting circles. The power diagram of the two circles is the partition of the plane into two halfplanes formed by this line. In the case n = 2, the power diagram consists of two halfplanes, separated by a line called the radical axis or chordale of the two circles. Along the radical axis, both circles have equal power.

  9. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of a line and a circle (if they intersect) Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of two circles (if they intersect). For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing ...
