  2. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The 'interior' or 'internal bisector' of an angle is the line, half-line, or line segment that divides an angle of less than 180° into two equal angles. The 'exterior' or 'external bisector' is the line that divides the supplementary angle (of 180° minus the original angle), formed by one side forming the original angle and the extension of ...

  3. Dividing a square into similar rectangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_square_into...

    However, there are three distinct ways of partitioning a square into three similar rectangles: [1] [2] The trivial solution given by three congruent rectangles with aspect ratio 3:1. The solution in which two of the three rectangles are congruent and the third one has twice the side length of the other two, where the rectangles have aspect ...

  5. Polygon partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_partition

    The fair polygon partitioning problem [20] is to partition a (convex) polygon into (convex) pieces with an equal perimeter and equal area (this is a special case of fair cake-cutting). Any convex polygon can be easily cut into any number n of convex pieces with an area of exactly 1/n. However, ensuring that the pieces have both equal area and ...

  6. Fractal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

    Zooming into the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension. Many fractals appear similar at various scales, as illustrated in successive magnifications of the Mandelbrot set.

  7. Median (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Each median divides the area of the triangle in half, hence the name, and hence a triangular object of uniform density would balance on any median. (Any other lines that divide triangle's area into two equal parts do not pass through the centroid.) [2] [3] The three medians divide the triangle into six smaller triangles of equal area.

  8. 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.

  9. Angle trisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection

    A "tomahawk" is a geometric shape consisting of a semicircle and two orthogonal line segments, such that the length of the shorter segment is equal to the circle radius. Trisection is executed by leaning the end of the tomahawk's shorter segment on one ray, the circle's edge on the other, so that the "handle" (longer segment) crosses the angle ...
