  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. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    An angle equal to ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ turn (90° or ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) is called a right angle. Two lines that form a right angle are said to be normal, orthogonal, or perpendicular. [12] An angle larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) is called an obtuse angle [11] ("obtuse" meaning "blunt").

  4. Perpendicular - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular

    If two lines (a and b) are both perpendicular to a third line (c), all of the angles formed along the third line are right angles. Therefore, in Euclidean geometry, any two lines that are both perpendicular to a third line are parallel to each other, because of the parallel postulate. Conversely, if one line is perpendicular to a second line ...

  5. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    But only a tangent line is perpendicular to the radial line. Hence, the two lines from P and passing through T 1 and T 2 are tangent to the circle C. Another method to construct the tangent lines to a point P external to the circle using only a straightedge: Draw any three different lines through the given point P that intersect the circle twice.

  6. Right angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_angle

    In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees or ⁠ / 2 ⁠ radians [1] corresponding to a quarter turn. [2] If a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. [ 3 ]

  7. 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 ).

  8. Multiple line segment intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_line_segment...

    The Shamos–Hoey algorithm [1] applies this principle to solve the line segment intersection detection problem, as stated above, of determining whether or not a set of line segments has an intersection; the Bentley–Ottmann algorithm works by the same principle to list all intersections in logarithmic time per intersection.

  9. Incidence (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Let l 1 = [a 1, b 1, c 1] and l 2 = [a 2, b 2, c 2] be a pair of distinct lines. Then the intersection of lines l 1 and l 2 is point a P = (x 0, y 0, z 0) that is the simultaneous solution (up to a scalar factor) of the system of linear equations: a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 z = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 z = 0. The solution of this system gives: x 0 ...
