  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The length of a line segment connecting two points on the circle and passing through the centre is called the diameter. A circle bounds a region of the plane called a disc. The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit.

  3. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    In applied sciences, the equivalent radius (or mean radius) is the radius of a circle or sphere with the same perimeter, area, or volume of a non-circular or non-spherical object. The equivalent diameter (or mean diameter ) ( D {\displaystyle D} ) is twice the equivalent radius.

  4. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    Circle with similar triangles: circumscribed side, inscribed side and complement, inscribed split side and complement. Let one side of an inscribed regular n-gon have length s n and touch the circle at points A and B. Let A′ be the point opposite A on the circle, so that A′A is a diameter, and A′AB is an inscribed triangle on a diameter.

  5. Napkin ring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_ring_problem

    The band gets thicker, and this would increase its volume. But it also gets shorter in circumference, and this would decrease its volume. The two effects exactly cancel each other out. In the extreme case of the smallest possible sphere, the cylinder vanishes (its radius becomes zero) and the height equals the diameter of the sphere.

  6. n-sphere - Wikipedia

  7. Circle packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

    In geometry, circle packing is the study of the arrangement of circles (of equal or varying sizes) ... For circles of diameter D and hexagons of side length D, ...

  8. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    The volume of a n-ball is the Lebesgue measure of this ball, which generalizes to any dimension the usual volume of a ball in 3-dimensional space. The volume of a n -ball of radius R is R n V n , {\displaystyle R^{n}V_{n},} where V n {\displaystyle V_{n}} is the volume of the unit n -ball , the n -ball of radius 1 .

  9. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The volume of a cylinder having a height equal to its diameter is 3/2 that of a sphere having the same diameter; The area bounded by one spiral rotation and a line is 1/3 that of the circle having a radius equal to the line segment length;
