  2. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw. Most commonly, four bonds to a central atom result in tetrahedral or, less commonly, square planar geometry. The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in ...

    For example, in detecting a dissimilar coin in three weighings (⁠ = ⁠), the maximum number of coins that can be analyzed is ⁠ = ⁠.Note that with ⁠ ⁠ weighings and ⁠ ⁠ coins, it is not always possible to determine the nature of the last coin (whether it is heavier or lighter than the rest), but only that the other coins are all the same, implying that the last coin is the ...

    Seesaw in 1792 painting by Francisco de Goya A set of conjoined playground seesaws. A seesaw (also known as a teeter-totter) is a long, narrow board supported by a single pivot point, most commonly located at the midpoint between both ends; as one end goes up, the other goes down.

  5. Seesaw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_mechanism

    The name of the seesaw mechanism was given by Tsutomu Yanagida in a Tokyo conference in 1981. There are several types of models, each extending the Standard Model . The simplest version, "Type 1", extends the Standard Model by assuming two or more additional right-handed neutrino fields inert under the electroweak interaction, [ a ] and the ...

  6. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    An angle bisector divides the angle into two angles with equal measures. An angle only has one bisector. Each point of an angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle. The 'interior' or 'internal bisector' of an angle is the line, half-line, or line segment that

  7. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    In mathematics, the moving sofa problem or sofa problem is a two-dimensional idealization of real-life furniture-moving problems and asks for the rigid two-dimensional shape of the largest area that can be maneuvered through an L-shaped planar region with legs of unit width. [1] The area thus obtained is referred to as the sofa constant.

  8. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Any two pairs of angles are congruent, [4] which in Euclidean geometry implies that all three angles are congruent: [a] If ∠BAC is equal in measure to ∠B'A'C', and ∠ABC is equal in measure to ∠A'B'C', then this implies that ∠ACB is equal in measure to ∠A'C'B' and the triangles are similar. All the corresponding sides are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_board

    A balance board [1] is a device used as a circus skill, for recreation, balance training, athletic training, brain development, therapy, musical training and other kinds of personal development. It is a lever similar to a see-saw that the user usually stands on, usually with the left and right foot at opposite ends of the board. The user's body ...
