As Doyle observed, [2] the only way to pack circles with the combinatorial structure of a Doyle spiral is to use circles whose radii are also highly structured. [5] Six circles can be packed around a circle of radius if and only if there exist three positive real numbers ,, and =, so that the surrounding circles have radii (in cyclic order)
A Venn diagram is a widely used diagram style that shows the logical relation between sets, popularized by John Venn (1834–1923) in the 1880s. The diagrams are used to teach elementary set theory, and to illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.
The result corresponds to 256 / 81 (3.16049...) as an approximate value of π. [3] Book 3 of Euclid's Elements deals with the properties of circles. Euclid's definition of a circle is: A circle is a plane figure bounded by one curved line, and such that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within it to the bounding line, are equal.
In the tables of knots and links in Dale Rolfsen's 1976 book Knots and Links, extending earlier listings in the 1920s by Alexander and Briggs, the Borromean rings were given the Alexander–Briggs notation "6 3 2", meaning that this is the second of three 6-crossing 3-component links to be listed.
Steiner used the power of a point for proofs of several statements on circles, for example: Determination of a circle, that intersects four circles by the same angle. [2] Solving the Problem of Apollonius; Construction of the Malfatti circles: [3] For a given triangle determine three circles, which touch each other and two sides of the triangle ...
In geometry, a set of Johnson circles comprises three circles of equal radius r sharing one common point of intersection H.In such a configuration the circles usually have a total of four intersections (points where at least two of them meet): the common point H that they all share, and for each of the three pairs of circles one more intersection point (referred here as their 2-wise intersection).
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
Slicing with the x = 0 plane produces two side-by-side circles, (y − 5) 2 + z 2 = 3 2 and (y + 5) 2 + z 2 = 3 2. Two example Villarceau circles can be produced by slicing with the plane 3y = 4z. One is centered at (+3, 0, 0) and the other at (−3, 0, 0); both have radius five. They can be written in parametric form as
