  2. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    intersection of two polygons: window test. If one wants to determine the intersection points of two polygons, one can check the intersection of any pair of line segments of the polygons (see above). For polygons with many segments this method is rather time-consuming. In practice one accelerates the intersection algorithm by using window tests ...

  3. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of a line and a circle (if they intersect) Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of two circles (if they intersect). For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing ...

  4. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    The distances between the centers of the nearer and farther circles, O 2 and O 1 and the point where the two outer tangents of the two circles intersect (homothetic center), S respectively can be found out using similarity as follows: Here, r can be r 1 or r 2 depending upon the need to find distances from the centers of the nearer or farther ...

  5. Miquel's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miquel's_theorem

    Draw three circumcircles (Miquel's circles) to triangles AB´C´, A´BC´, and A´B´C. Miquel's theorem states that these circles intersect in a single point M, called the Miquel point. In addition, the three angles MA´B, MB´C and MC´A (green in the diagram) are all equal, as are the three supplementary angles MA´C, MB´A and MC´B. [2] [3]

  6. Circle of antisimilitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_antisimilitude

    In inversive geometry, the circle of antisimilitude (also known as mid-circle) of two circles, α and β, is a reference circle for which α and β are inverses of each other. If α and β are non-intersecting or tangent, a single circle of antisimilitude exists; if α and β intersect at two points, there are two circles of antisimilitude.

  7. Johnson circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_circles

    In geometry, a set of Johnson circles comprises three circles of equal radius r sharing one common point of intersection H.In such a configuration the circles usually have a total of four intersections (points where at least two of them meet): the common point H that they all share, and for each of the three pairs of circles one more intersection point (referred here as their 2-wise intersection).

  8. Circle packing theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_theorem

    The intersection graph of a circle packing is the graph having a vertex for each circle, and an edge for every pair of circles that are tangent. If the circle packing is on the plane, or, equivalently, on the sphere, then its intersection graph is called a coin graph ; more generally, intersection graphs of interior-disjoint geometric objects ...

  9. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    A circle (or line) is unchanged by inversion if and only if it is orthogonal to the reference circle at the points of intersection. [5] Additional properties include: If a circle q passes through two distinct points A and A' which are inverses with respect to a circle k, then the circles k and q are orthogonal.
