  2. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Let A′ be the point opposite A on the circle, so that A′A is a diameter, and A′AB is an inscribed triangle on a diameter. By Thales' theorem, this is a right triangle with right angle at B. Let the length of A′B be c n, which we call the complement of s n; thus c n 2 +s n 2 = (2r) 2. Let C bisect the arc from A to B, and let C′ be the ...

  3. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is π (pi), an irrational constant approximately equal to 3.141592654. The ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius is 2 π . [ a ] Thus the circumference C is related to the radius r and diameter d by: C = 2 π r = π d . {\displaystyle C=2\pi r=\pi d.}

  4. Talk:Human penis size/Archive 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Human_penis_size/...

    If you multiply it by pi you get a bigger circumference, because the penis is not totally round, for example , my diameter is 5.7 cm and 5.7*pi= 17.898, my real circumference (measured with a measuring tape) is 17cm -/+ 0.2cm, so the most accurate way of measuring circumference is with a tape, I think. -betoelbicho

  5. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    In the special cases of one of the diagonals or sides being a diameter of the circle, this theorem gives rise directly to the angle sum and difference trigonometric identities. [17] The relationship follows most easily when the circle is constructed to have a diameter of length one, as shown here.

  6. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    The bill was nearly passed by the Indiana General Assembly in the U.S., and has been claimed to imply a number of different values for π, although the closest it comes to explicitly asserting one is the wording "the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four", which would make π = 16 ⁄ 5 = 3.2, a discrepancy of ...

  7. Metric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

    For example, a length that is significantly longer or shorter than 1 metre can be represented in units that are a power of 10 or 1000 metres. This differs from many older systems in which the ratio of different units varied. For example, 12 inches is one foot, but the larger unit in the same system, the mile is not a power of 12 feet. It is ...

  8. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    A diagram illustrating great-circle distance (drawn in red) between two points on a sphere, P and Q. Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown.. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them.

  9. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    An ellipsoid is a surface that can be obtained from a sphere by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.. An ellipsoid is a quadric surface; that is, a surface that may be defined as the zero set of a polynomial of degree two in three variables.
