  2. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    When two of the given circles are concentric, Apollonius's problem can be solved easily using a method of Gauss. [28] The radii of the three given circles are known, as is the distance d non from the common concentric center to the non-concentric circle (Figure 7).

  3. Circle packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

    A compact binary circle packing with the most similarly sized circles possible. [7] It is also the densest possible packing of discs with this size ratio (ratio of 0.6375559772 with packing fraction (area density) of 0.910683). [8] There are also a range of problems which permit the sizes of the circles to be non-uniform.

  4. Concentric objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_objects

    The region of the plane between two concentric circles is an annulus, and analogously the region of space between two concentric spheres is a spherical shell. [6] For a given point c in the plane, the set of all circles having c as their center forms a pencil of circles. Each two circles in the pencil are concentric, and have different radii.

  5. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    Circles G to J, which do not, map to other circles. The reference circle and line L map to themselves. Circles intersect their inverses, if any, on the reference circle. In the SVG file, click or hover over a circle to highlight it. Inversion of a line is a circle containing the center of inversion; or it is the line itself if it contains the ...

  6. Aristotle's wheel paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle's_wheel_paradox

    CSS animation of Aristotle's wheel paradox. The wheel comprises two concentric circles: the outer one has twice the radius of the inner one and rolls on the lower track. Both circles and tracks are marked with segments of equal length. The inner circle is observed to slip with respect to its track.

    Fire experts think in terms of concentric circles around a home. Zone 0 is the closest, then comes Zone 1, which is five to 30 feet away. This zone should be "lean, clean and green," said Lando.

  8. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    In general, the same inversion transforms the given circle C 1 and C 2 into two new circles, c 1 and c 2. Thus, the problem becomes that of finding a solution line tangent to the two inverted circles, which was solved above. There are four such lines, and re-inversion transforms them into the four solution circles of the original Apollonius ...

  9. Annulus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulus_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, an annulus (pl.: annuli or annuluses) is the region between two concentric circles. Informally, it is shaped like a ring or a hardware washer. The word "annulus" is borrowed from the Latin word anulus or annulus meaning 'little ring'. The adjectival form is annular (as in annular eclipse).
