PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. A semicircle can be used to construct the arithmetic and geometric means of two lengths using straight-edge and compass.
An arbelos (grey region) Arbelos sculpture in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands In geometry, an arbelos is a plane region bounded by three semicircles with three apexes such that each corner of each semicircle is shared with one of the others (connected), all on the same side of a straight line (the baseline) that contains their diameters.
The name Desmos came from the Greek word δεσμός which means a bond or a tie. [6] In May 2022, Amplify acquired the Desmos curriculum and teacher.desmos.com. Some 50 employees joined Amplify. Desmos Studio was spun off as a separate public benefit corporation focused on building calculator products and other math tools. [7]
Squircle centred on the origin (a = b = 0) with minor radius r = 1: x 4 + y 4 = 1A squircle is a shape intermediate between a square and a circle.There are at least two definitions of "squircle" in use, one based on the superellipse, the other arising from work in optics.
Body of constant width (yellow) formed by intersecting disks (blue) centered on a semi-ellipse (black). The red circle shows a tangent circle to a supporting line, at a point of minimum curvature of the semi-ellipse. The eccentricity of the semi-ellipse in the figure is the maximum possible for this construction.

Illustration of Poncelet's porism for n = 3, a triangle that is inscribed in one circle and circumscribes another.. In geometry, Poncelet's closure theorem, also known as Poncelet's porism, states that whenever a polygon is inscribed in one conic section and circumscribes another one, the polygon must be part of an infinite family of polygons that are all inscribed in and circumscribe the same ...
In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...
