2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

   The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.

3. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

   Constructive solid geometry (CSG; formerly called computational binary solid geometry) is a technique used in solid modeling. Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [1] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ...

4. Tracing paper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_paper

   Tracing paper is paper made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass through. Its origins date back to at least the 1300s where it was used by artists of the Italian Renaissance. [1] In the 1880s, tracing paper was produced en masse, used by architects, design engineers, and artists. [2] Tracing paper was key in creating drawings that could ...

5. Polygon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon

   Polygon. Some polygons of different kinds: open (excluding its boundary), boundary only (excluding interior), closed (including both boundary and interior), and self-intersecting. In geometry, a polygon (/ ˈpɒlɪɡɒn /) is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain. The segments of a closed polygonal ...

6. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

   Newton's diagram. Newton's diagram (also known as Newton's parallelogram, after Isaac Newton) is a technique for determining the shape of an algebraic curve close to and far away from the origin. It consists of plotting (α, β) for each term Axαyβ in the equation of the curve. The resulting diagram is then analyzed to produce information ...

7. Technical drawing tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing_tool

   Technical drawing tool. Drafting tools may be used for measurement and layout of drawings, or to improve the consistency and speed of creation of standard drawing elements. Tools such as pens and pencils mark the drawing medium. Other tools such as straight edges, assist the operator in drawing straight lines, or assist the operator in drawing ...
