    Nesoddtangen, Norway, a triple tautology, consisting of three parts, nes, odd and tangen, all being synonyms signifying a small cape or promontory. Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia – (Eastern Southeastern Islands – Indonesian) Nyanza Lac, Burundi – Nyanza and lac are the Bantu and French words for "lake" respectively. This is a city, not a ...

  3. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object X {\displaystyle X} in n {\displaystyle n} - dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X {\displaystyle X} into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  4. Circular sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_sector

    The minor sector is shaded in green while the major sector is shaded white. A circular sector, also known as circle sector or disk sector or simply a sector (symbol: ⌔), is the portion of a disk (a closed region bounded by a circle) enclosed by two radii and an arc, with the smaller area being known as the minor sector and the larger being the major sector. [1]

  5. Centre (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    f is symmetric in its last two arguments; i.e., f(a,b,c)= f(a,c,b); thus position of a centre in a mirror-image triangle is the mirror-image of its position in the original triangle. [ 1 ] This strict definition excludes pairs of bicentric points such as the Brocard points (which are interchanged by a mirror-image reflection).

  6. Annulus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An annulus Illustration of Mamikon's visual calculus method showing that the areas of two annuli with the same chord length are the same regardless of inner and outer radii. [ 1 ] In mathematics , an annulus ( pl. : annuli or annuluses ) is the region between two concentric circles.

  7. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  8. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    This is an application of Cavalieri's principle: volumes with equal-sized corresponding cross-sections are equal. Indeed, the area of the cross-section is the same as that of the corresponding cross-section of a sphere of radius h / 2 {\displaystyle h/2} , which has volume 4 3 π ( h 2 ) 3 = π h 3 6 . {\displaystyle {\frac {4}{3}}\pi \left ...

  9. Polygon with holes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_with_holes

    A face with a point hole is considered a monogonal hole, adding one vertex, and one edge, and can attached to a degenerate monogonal hosohedron hole, like a cylinder hole with zero radius. A face with a degenerate digon hole adds 2 vertices and 2 coinciding edges, where the two edges attach to two coplanar faces, as a dihedron hole.
