  2. Nine-point circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_circle

    The nine-point circles are all congruent with a radius of half that of the cyclic quadrilateral's circumcircle. The nine-point circles form a set of four Johnson circles. Consequently, the four nine-point centers are cyclic and lie on a circle congruent to the four nine-point circles that is centered at the anticenter of the cyclic quadrilateral.

  3. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    The nine-point circle is tangent to the incircle and excircles. In geometry, the nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is so named because it passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points are: [28] [29] The midpoint of each side of the triangle; The foot ...

  4. 9th parallel south - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9th_parallel_south

    The 9th parallel south is a circle of latitude that is 9 degrees south of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australasia, the Pacific Ocean and South America. The parallel passes through 11 out of the 26 states of Brazil.

  5. Nine-point center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_center

    A triangle showing its circumcircle and circumcenter (black), altitudes and orthocenter (red), and nine-point circle and nine-point center (blue) In geometry , the nine-point center is a triangle center , a point defined from a given triangle in a way that does not depend on the placement or scale of the triangle.

  6. Circle packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

    A compact binary circle packing with the most similarly sized circles possible. [7] It is also the densest possible packing of discs with this size ratio (ratio of 0.6375559772 with packing fraction (area density) of 0.910683). [8] There are also a range of problems which permit the sizes of the circles to be non-uniform.

  7. Nine dots puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_dots_puzzle

    The "nine dots" puzzle. The puzzle asks to link all nine dots using four straight lines or fewer, without lifting the pen. The nine dots puzzle is a mathematical puzzle whose task is to connect nine squarely arranged points with a pen by four (or fewer) straight lines without lifting the pen.

  8. 9 Circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_Circles

    [1] [2] The play's title refers to Dante Alighieri's Inferno—in which Dante navigates a descent into the "nine circles of hell". In Cain's play, Green passes through his discharge from the Army and various judicial and administrative procedures, roughly paralleling the nine circles of Dante's Inferno. Cain structured the play so other cast ...

  9. Osculating circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_circle

    An osculating circle is a circle that best approximates the curvature of a curve at a specific point. It is tangent to the curve at that point and has the same curvature as the curve at that point. [2] The osculating circle provides a way to understand the local behavior of a curve and is commonly used in differential geometry and calculus.
