The fifth vertex is the rightmost intersection of the horizontal line with the original circle. Steps 6–8 are equivalent to the following version, shown in the animation: 6a. Construct point F as the midpoint of O and W. 7a. Construct a vertical line through F. It intersects the original circle at two of the vertices of the pentagon.
The two bimedians of a quadrilateral (segments joining midpoints of opposite sides) and the line segment joining the midpoints of the diagonals are concurrent and are all bisected by their point of intersection. [3]: p.125 In a tangential quadrilateral, the four angle bisectors concur at the center of the incircle. [4]
Intersection of two line segments. For two non-parallel line segments (,), (,) and (,), (,) there is not necessarily an intersection point (see diagram), because the intersection point (,) of the corresponding lines need not to be contained in the line segments. In order to check the situation one uses parametric representations of the lines:
Analogous to straight line segments above, one can also define arcs as segments of a curve. In one-dimensional space, a ball is a line segment. An oriented plane segment or bivector generalizes the directed line segment. Beyond Euclidean geometry, geodesic segments play the role of line segments.

A drawing of the Heawood graph with three crossings. This is the minimum number of crossings among all drawings of this graph, so the graph has crossing number cr(G) = 3.. In graph theory, the crossing number cr(G) of a graph G is the lowest number of edge crossings of a plane drawing of the graph G.
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.
Given a line and any point A on it, we may consider A as decomposing this line into two parts. Each such part is called a ray and the point A is called its initial point. It is also known as half-line (sometimes, a half-axis if it plays a distinct role, e.g., as part of a coordinate axis). It is a one-dimensional half-space. The point A is ...
