  2. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    The same inversion transforms the third circle into another circle. The solution of the inverted problem must either be (1) a straight line parallel to the two given parallel lines and tangent to the transformed third given circle; or (2) a circle of constant radius that is tangent to the two given parallel lines and the transformed given circle.

  3. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  4. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    The de Longchamps point is the point of concurrence of several lines with the Euler line. Three lines, each formed by drawing an external equilateral triangle on one of the sides of a given triangle and connecting the new vertex to the original triangle's opposite vertex, are concurrent at a point called the first isogonal center.

  5. Simple present - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_present

    The simple present is the most commonly used verb form in English, accounting for more than half of verbs in spoken English. [1] It is called "simple" because its basic form consists of a single word (like write or writes), in contrast with other present tense forms such as the present progressive (is writing) and present perfect (has written).

  6. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    Any line not parallel to direction is mapped onto a line; any line parallel to is mapped onto a point. Parallel lines are mapped on parallel lines, or on a pair of points (if they are parallel to ). The ratio of the length of two line segments on a line stays unchanged. As a special case, midpoints are mapped on midpoints.

  7. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    The mapping from 3D to 2D coordinates is (x′, y′) = (⁠ x / w ⁠, ⁠ y / w ⁠). We can convert 2D points to homogeneous coordinates by defining them as (x, y, 1). Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0.

  8. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the line–line intersection between two distinct lines, which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel). Other types ...

  9. Uses of English verb forms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uses_of_English_verb_forms

    The present progressive or present continuous form combines present tense with progressive aspect. It thus refers to an action or event conceived of as having limited duration, taking place at the present time. It consists of a form of the simple present of be together with the present participle of the main verb and the ending -ing.
