  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    The amount of bending is approximately ⁠ 1 / 28 ⁠ unit (1.245364267°), which is difficult to see on the diagram of the puzzle, and was illustrated as a graphic. Note the grid point where the red and blue triangles in the lower image meet (5 squares to the right and two units up from the lower left corner of the combined figure), and ...

  3. Midpoint theorem (triangle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_theorem_(triangle)

    The midpoint theorem, midsegment theorem, or midline theorem states that if the midpoints of two sides of a triangle are connected, then the resulting line segment will be parallel to the third side and have half of its length.

  4. Spiral similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_Similarity

    A spiral similarity taking triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'. Spiral similarity is a plane transformation in mathematics composed of a rotation and a dilation. [1] It is used widely in Euclidean geometry to facilitate the proofs of many theorems and other results in geometry, especially in mathematical competitions and olympiads.

  5. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    There are several elementary results concerning similar triangles in Euclidean geometry: [9] Any two equilateral triangles are similar. Two triangles, both similar to a third triangle, are similar to each other (transitivity of similarity of triangles). Corresponding altitudes of similar triangles have the same ratio as the corresponding sides.

  6. Dilation (operator theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(operator_theory)

    In operator theory, a dilation of an operator T on a Hilbert space H is an operator on a larger Hilbert space K, whose restriction to H composed with the orthogonal projection onto H is T. More formally, let T be a bounded operator on some Hilbert space H , and H be a subspace of a larger Hilbert space H' .

  7. Cortical column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_column

    There are about 200 million (2×10 8) cortical minicolumns in the human neocortex with up to about 110 neurons each, [16] and with estimates of 21–26 billion (2.1×10 10 –2.6×10 10) neurons in the neocortex. With 50 to 100 cortical minicolumns per cortical column a human would have 2–4 million (2×10 6 –4×10 6) cortical columns.

  8. Sz.-Nagy's dilation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sz.-Nagy's_dilation_theorem

    A consequence of this is that any operator with a simply connected spectral set X has a minimal normal δX dilation. To see that this generalises Sz.-Nagy's theorem, note that contraction operators have the unit disc D as a spectral set, and that normal operators with spectrum in the unit circle δD are unitary.

  9. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    Two triangles are said to be similar, if every angle of one triangle has the same measure as the corresponding angle in the other triangle. The corresponding sides of similar triangles have lengths that are in the same proportion, and this property is also sufficient to establish similarity. [39] Some basic theorems about similar triangles are:
