  2. Compass equivalence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_equivalence_theorem

    Given points A, B, and C, construct a circle centered at A with the radius BC, using only a collapsing compass and no straightedge. Draw a circle centered at A and passing through B and vice versa (the blue circles). They will intersect at points D and D'. Draw circles through C with centers at D and D' (the red circles). Label their other ...

  3. Hendecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendecagon

    Draw the radius A B, bisect it in C—with an opening of the compasses equal to half the radius, upon A and C as centres describe the arcs C D I and A D—with the distance I D upon I describe the arc D O and draw the line C O, which will be the extent of one side of a hendecagon sufficiently exact for practice. On a unit circle:

  4. Point-set triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-set_triangulation

    Choose an interior point and draw edges to the three vertices of the triangle that contains it. Continue this process until all interior points are exhausted. [6] Incremental Algorithm : Sort the points of according to x-coordinates. The first three points determine a triangle.

  5. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing through the other point). If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections. Drawing lines between the two original points and one of these new points completes the ...

  6. Triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation

    One of the sensors is typically a digital camera device, and the other one can also be a camera or a light projector. The projection centers of the sensors and the considered point on the object's surface define a (spatial) triangle. Within this triangle, the distance between the sensors is the base b and must be known. By determining the ...

  7. Compass (drawing tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass_(drawing_tool)

    A beam compass and a regular compass Using a compass A compass with an extension accessory for larger circles A bow compass capable of drawing the smallest possible circles. A compass, also commonly known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs.

  8. The Secrets of Triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secrets_of_Triangles

    The chapter on areas includes both trigonometric formulas and Heron's formula for computing the area of a triangle from its side lengths, and the chapter on inequalities includes the ErdÅ‘s–Mordell inequality on sums of distances from the sides of a triangle and Weitzenböck's inequality relating the area of a triangle to that of squares on ...

  9. Equilateral triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_triangle

    Start by drawing a circle with a certain radius, placing the point of the compass on the circle, and drawing another circle with the same radius; the two circles will intersect in two points. An equilateral triangle can be constructed by taking the two centers of the circles and the points of intersection. [17] An alternative way to construct ...
