The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.
Apothem of a hexagon Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6. The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo [1]) of a regular polygon is a line
The polar of any figurative point is on the centre of the conic and is called a 'diameter'. The centre of any ellipse is within it, for its polar does not meet the curve, and so there are no tangents from it to the curve. The centre of a parabola is the contact point of the figurative straight.
In mathematics and physics, the centroid, also known as geometric center or center of figure, of a plane figure or solid figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the points in the surface of the figure. [further explanation needed] The same definition extends to any object in -dimensional Euclidean space. [1]
Hence, given the radius, r, center, P c, a point on the circle, P 0 and a unit normal of the plane containing the circle, ^, one parametric equation of the circle starting from the point P 0 and proceeding in a positively oriented (i.e., right-handed) sense about ^ is the following:
Another generalization is to calculate the number of coprime integer solutions , to the inequality m 2 + n 2 ≤ r 2 . {\displaystyle m^{2}+n^{2}\leq r^{2}.\,} This problem is known as the primitive circle problem , as it involves searching for primitive solutions to the original circle problem.

The above formula can be rearranged to solve for the circumference: = =. The ratio of the circle's circumference to its radius is equivalent to 2 π {\displaystyle 2\pi } . [ a ] This is also the number of radians in one turn .
The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = 1 / 2 × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.
