  2. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    The nine-point circle is tangent to the incircle and excircles. In geometry, the nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is so named because it passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points are: [28] [29] The midpoint of each side of the triangle; The foot ...

  3. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The most often considered types of bisectors are the segment bisector, a line that passes through the midpoint of a given segment, and the angle bisector, a line that passes through the apex of an angle (that divides it into two equal angles). In three-dimensional space, bisection is usually done by a bisecting plane, also called the bisector.

  5. Concyclic points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concyclic_points

    A polygon whose vertices are concyclic is called a cyclic polygon, and the circle is called its circumscribing circle or circumcircle. All concyclic points are equidistant from the center of the circle. Three points in the plane that do not all fall on a straight line are concyclic, so every triangle is a cyclic polygon, with a well-defined ...

  7. Tangential quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_quadrilateral

    Conversely, a convex quadrilateral in which the four angle bisectors meet at a point must be tangential and the common point is the incenter. [ 4 ] According to the Pitot theorem , the two pairs of opposite sides in a tangential quadrilateral add up to the same total length, which equals the semiperimeter s of the quadrilateral:

  8. Circumscribed circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumscribed_circle

    In geometry, a circumscribed circle for a set of points is a circle passing through each of them. Such a circle is said to circumscribe the points or a polygon formed from them; such a polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. Circumcircle, the circumscribed circle of a triangle, which always exists for a given triangle.

  9. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    The smallest-circle problem (also known as minimum covering circle problem, bounding circle problem, least bounding circle problem, smallest enclosing circle problem) is a computational geometry problem of computing the smallest circle that contains all of a given set of points in the Euclidean plane.
