  2. Soddy circles of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soddy_circles_of_a_triangle

    When the outer Soddy circle has negative curvature, its center is the isoperimetric point of the triangle: the three triangles formed by this center and two vertices of the starting triangle all have the same perimeter. [4] Triangles whose outer Soddy circle degenerates to a straight line with curvature zero have been called "Soddyian triangles ...

  3. Focus (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In other words, a point P is a focus if both PI and PJ are tangent to C. When C is a real curve, only the intersections of conjugate pairs are real, so there are m in a real foci and m 2 − m imaginary foci. When C is a conic, the real foci defined this way are exactly the foci which can be used in the geometric construction of C.

  4. Graph center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_center

    These are the three vertices A such that d(A, B) ≤ 3 for all vertices B. Each black vertex is a distance of at least 4 from some other vertex. The center (or Jordan center [1]) of a graph is the set of all vertices of minimum eccentricity, [2] that is, the set of all vertices u where the greatest distance d(u,v) to other vertices v is

  5. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    The line through the foci is called the major axis, and the line perpendicular to it through the center is the minor axis. The major axis intersects the ellipse at two vertices V 1 , V 2 {\displaystyle V_{1},V_{2}} , which have distance a {\displaystyle a} to the center.

  6. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The linear eccentricity of an ellipse or hyperbola, denoted c (or sometimes f or e), is the distance between its center and either of its two foci. The eccentricity can be defined as the ratio of the linear eccentricity to the semimajor axis a : that is, e = c a {\displaystyle e={\frac {c}{a}}} (lacking a center, the linear eccentricity for ...

  7. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    It contains the vertices,, which have distance to the center. The distance c {\displaystyle c} of the foci to the center is called the focal distance or linear eccentricity . The quotient c a {\displaystyle {\tfrac {c}{a}}} is the eccentricity e {\displaystyle e} .

  8. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter. The semi-major axis ( major semiaxis ) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus , and ...

  9. Centre (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The "vertex centroid" comes from considering the polygon as being empty but having equal masses at its vertices. The "side centroid" comes from considering the sides to have constant mass per unit length. The usual centre, called just the centroid (centre of area) comes from considering the surface of the polygon as having constant density ...
