  2. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_a_Circle

    The circle and the triangle are equal in area. Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Any circle with a circumference c and a radius r is equal in area with a right triangle with ...

  3. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Two opposite triangles both touch two common diameters; slide them along one so the radial edges are adjacent. They now form a parallelogram, with the hexagon sides making two opposite edges, one of which is the base, s. Two radial edges form slanted sides, and the height, h is equal to its apothem (as in the Archimedes proof). In fact, we can ...

  4. Malfatti circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfatti_circles

    Malfatti's assumption that the two problems are equivalent is incorrect. Lob and Richmond (), who went back to the original Italian text, observed that for some triangles a larger area can be achieved by a greedy algorithm that inscribes a single circle of maximal radius within the triangle, inscribes a second circle within one of the three remaining corners of the triangle, the one with the ...

    Three of them are the medians, which are the only area bisectors that go through the centroid. Three other area bisectors are parallel to the triangle's sides. Any line through a triangle that splits both the triangle's area and its perimeter in half goes through the triangle's incenter. There can be one, two, or three of these for any given ...

  6. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  7. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    Any area on a sphere which is equal in area to the square of its radius, when observed from its center, subtends precisely one steradian. The solid angle of a sphere measured from any point in its interior is 4 π sr. The solid angle subtended at the center of a cube by one of its faces is one-sixth of that, or 2 π /3 sr.

  8. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    A 3-simplex, with barycentric subdivisions of 1-faces (edges) 2-faces (triangles) and 3-faces (body). In geometry , a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane , a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space , etc.).

  9. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The area of a triangle is proportional to the excess of its angle sum over 180°. Two triangles with the same angle sum are equal in area. There is an upper bound for the area of triangles. The composition (product) of two reflections-across-a-great-circle may be considered as a rotation about either of the points of intersection of their axes.
