  2. Section formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_formula

    In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally. [1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  3. 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 ...

  4. Interior lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_lines

    Interior lines [a] (as opposed to exterior lines) is a military term, derived from the generic term line of operation or line of movement. [1] The term "interior lines" is commonly used to illustrate, describe, and analyze the various possible routes (lines) of logistics, supply, recon, approach, attack, evasion, maneuver, or retreat of armed forces.

  5. Line segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

    A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints. In geometry , a line segment is often denoted using an overline ( vinculum ) above the symbols for the two endpoints, such as in AB .

  7. Homothetic center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homothetic_center

    Figure 1: The point O is an external homothetic center for the two triangles. The size of each figure is proportional to its distance from the homothetic center. In geometry, a homothetic center (also called a center of similarity or a center of similitude) is a point from which at least two geometrically similar figures can be seen as a dilation or contraction of one another.

  8. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    The external tangent lines intersect in the external homothetic center, whereas the internal tangent lines intersect at the internal homothetic center. Both the external and internal homothetic centers lie on the line of centers (the line connecting the centers of the two circles), closer to the center of the smaller circle: the internal center ...

  9. Projective harmonic conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_harmonic_conjugate

    So the division ratio criterion is that they be additive inverses. Harmonic division of a line segment is a special case of Apollonius' definition of the circle. In some school studies the configuration of a harmonic range is called harmonic division.
