2. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   Here, p is the (positive) length of the line segment perpendicular to the line and delimited by the origin and the line, and is the (oriented) angle from the x-axis to this segment. It may be useful to express the equation in terms of the angle α = φ + π / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =\varphi +\pi /2} between the x -axis and the line.

3. Angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

   An angle equal to ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ turn (90° or ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) is called a right angle. Two lines that form a right angle are said to be normal, orthogonal, or perpendicular. [7] An angle larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) is called an obtuse angle [6] ("obtuse" meaning "blunt").

4. Line segment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

   A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints. In geometry , a line segment is often denoted using an overline ( vinculum ) above the symbols for the two endpoints, such as in AB .

5. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

   For each pair of lines, there can be only one cell where the two lines meet at the bottom vertex, so the number of downward-bounded cells is at most the number of pairs of lines, () /. Adding the unbounded and bounded cells, the total number of cells in an arrangement can be at most n ( n + 1 ) / 2 + 1 {\displaystyle n(n+1)/2+1} . [ 5 ]

6. Geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

   In modern terms, an angle is the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. [57] The size of an angle is formalized as an angular measure. In Euclidean geometry, angles are used to study polygons and triangles, as well as forming an object of study in their own right. [43]

7. Aristotle's axiom - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle's_axiom

   If ^ is an acute angle and AB is any segment, then there exists a point P on the ray and a point Q on the ray , such that PQ is perpendicular to OX and PQ > AB. Aristotle's axiom is a consequence of the Archimedean property , [ 1 ] and the conjunction of Aristotle's axiom and the Lotschnittaxiom , which states that "Perpendiculars raised on ...
