  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    where a is the radius of the circle, (,) are the polar coordinates of a generic point on the circle, and (,) are the polar coordinates of the centre of the circle (i.e., r 0 is the distance from the origin to the centre of the circle, and φ is the anticlockwise angle from the positive x axis to the line connecting the origin to the centre of ...

  3. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    The implementations above always draw only complete octants or circles. To draw only a certain arc from an angle α {\displaystyle \alpha } to an angle β {\displaystyle \beta } , the algorithm needs first to calculate the x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} coordinates of these end points, where it is necessary to resort to ...

  4. Carlyle circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_circle

    Draw a circle centered at M through the point A. This is the Carlyle circle for x 2 + x − 1 = 0. Mark its intersection with the horizontal line (inside the original circle) as the point W and its intersection outside the circle as the point V. These are the points p 1 and p 2 mentioned above. Draw a circle of radius OA and center W. It ...

  5. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Two options exist for drawing the Mohr-circle space, which produce a mathematically correct Mohr circle: Positive shear stresses are plotted upward (Figure 5, sign convention #1) Positive shear stresses are plotted downward, i.e., the τ n {\displaystyle \tau _{\mathrm {n} }} -axis is inverted (Figure 5, sign convention #2).

  6. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    If = + is the distance from c 1 to c 2 we can normalize by =, =, = to simplify equation (1), resulting in the following system of equations: + =, + =; solve these to get two solutions (k = ±1) for the two external tangent lines: = = + = (+) Geometrically this corresponds to computing the angle formed by the tangent lines and the line of ...

  7. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  8. Diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter

    With straightedge and compass, a diameter of a given circle can be constructed as the perpendicular bisector of an arbitrary chord. Drawing two diameters in this way can be used to locate the center of a circle, as their crossing point. [2] To construct a diameter parallel to a given line, choose the chord to be perpendicular to the line.

  9. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. A semicircle can be used to construct the arithmetic and geometric means of two lengths using straight-edge and compass.
