  2. Radical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_axis

    If the radii are equal, the radical axis is the line segment bisector of M 1, M 2. In any case the radical axis is a line perpendicular to ¯. On notations. The notation radical axis was used by the French mathematician M. Chasles as axe radical. [1] J.V. Poncelet used chorde ideale. [2]

  3. Power center (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The radical axis of a pair of circles is defined as the set of points that have equal power h with respect to both circles. For example, for every point P on the radical axis of circles 1 and 2, the powers to each circle are equal: h 1 = h 2. Similarly, for every point on the radical axis of circles 2 and 3, the powers must be equal, h 2 = h 3.

  4. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    The set of all points with () = is a line called radical axis. It contains possible common points of the circles and is perpendicular to line O 1 O 2 ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {O_{1}O_{2}}}} . Secants theorem, chords theorem: common proof

  5. Power diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_diagram

    The radical axis of two intersecting circles. The power diagram of the two circles is the partition of the plane into two halfplanes formed by this line. In the case n = 2, the power diagram consists of two halfplanes, separated by a line called the radical axis or chordale of the two circles. Along the radical axis, both circles have equal power.

  6. Circles of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circles_of_Apollonius

    The line connecting these common intersection points is the radical axis for all three circles. The two isodynamic points are inverses of each other relative to the circumcircle of the triangle. The centers of these three circles fall on a single line (the Lemoine line). This line is perpendicular to the radical axis, which is the line ...

  7. Pencil (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A pencil of circles (or coaxial system) is the set of all circles in the plane with the same radical axis. [9] To be inclusive, concentric circles are said to have the line at infinity as a radical axis. There are five types of pencils of circles, [10] the two families of Apollonian circles in the illustration above represent two of them.

  8. Poncelet–Steiner theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poncelet–Steiner_theorem

    Line j is the radical axis between circle M(B) and circle A(B), as it passes through the point of intersection B and is perpendicular to the line through centers, AM. Construct a line k (in dark green) passing through point D, and perpendicular to CM. Line k is the radical axis between circle M(B) and circle C(D). Lines j and k intersect at ...

  9. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    Gergonne was able to identify two other points for each of the three lines. One of the two points has already been identified: the radical center G lies on all three lines (Figure 6). To locate a second point on the lines L 1, L 2 and L 3, Gergonne noted a reciprocal relationship between those lines and the radical axis R of the solution ...
