  2. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    A circular segment (in green) is enclosed between a secant/chord (the dashed line) and the arc whose endpoints equal the chord's (the arc shown above the green area). In geometry , a circular segment or disk segment (symbol: ⌓ ) is a region of a disk [ 1 ] which is "cut off" from the rest of the disk by a straight line.

  4. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    The curved surface area of the spherical segment bounded by two parallel disks is the difference of surface areas of their respective spherical caps. For a sphere of radius r {\displaystyle r} , and caps with heights h 1 {\displaystyle h_{1}} and h 2 {\displaystyle h_{2}} , the area is

    See: Area of a triangle § Using coordinates. The expression is equivalent to h = 2 A b {\textstyle h={\frac {2A}{b}}} , which can be obtained by rearranging the standard formula for the area of a triangle: A = 1 2 b h {\textstyle A={\frac {1}{2}}bh} , where b is the length of a side, and h is the perpendicular height from the opposite vertex.

  6. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The spherical coordinates of a point P then are defined as follows: The radius or radial distance is the Euclidean distance from the origin O to P. The inclination (or polar angle) is the signed angle from the zenith reference direction to the line segment OP. (Elevation may be used as the polar angle instead of inclination; see below.)

  8. Section formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_formula

    In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally. [1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  9. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_triangle

    The area of a triangle can be demonstrated, for example by means of the congruence of triangles, as half of the area of a parallelogram that has the same base length and height. A graphic derivation of the formula T = h 2 b {\displaystyle T={\frac {h}{2}}b} that avoids the usual procedure of doubling the area of the triangle and then halving it.
