An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A ...
A quadric quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on the perimeter of a square. [7] A diametric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral having one of its sides as a diameter of the circumcircle. [8] A Hjelmslev quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two right angles at opposite vertices. [9]
Kite (geometry) A kite, showing its pairs of equal-length sides and its inscribed circle. In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral with reflection symmetry across a diagonal. Because of this symmetry, a kite has two equal angles and two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. Kites are also known as deltoids, [1] but the word deltoid may ...
The midpoint of any diameter of a circle is the center of the circle. Any line perpendicular to any chord of a circle and passing through its midpoint also passes through the circle's center. The butterfly theorem states that, if M is the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, through which two other chords AB and CD are drawn; AD and BC intersect ...
Newton-Gauss line through the midpoints L, M, N of the diagonals. In geometry, the Newton–Gauss line (or Gauss–Newton line) is the line joining the midpoints of the three diagonals of a complete quadrilateral. The midpoints of the two diagonals of a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides are distinct and thus determine a line ...
Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the quadrilateral to zero. Brahmagupta's formula gives the area K {\displaystyle K} of a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have lengths a , {\displaystyle a,} b , {\displaystyle b,} c , {\displaystyle c ...
Midpoint polygon. In geometry, the midpoint polygon of a polygon P is the polygon whose vertices are the midpoints of the edges of P. [1][2] It is sometimes called the Kasner polygon after Edward Kasner, who termed it the inscribed polygon "for brevity". [3][4] The medial triangle. The Varignon parallelogram.
Miquel's theorem. Miquel's theorem is a result in geometry, named after Auguste Miquel, [1] concerning the intersection of three circles, each drawn through one vertex of a triangle and two points on its adjacent sides. It is one of several results concerning circles in Euclidean geometry due to Miquel, whose work was published in Liouville's ...
