  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    However, the blue triangle has a ratio of 5:2 (=2.5), while the red triangle has the ratio 8:3 (≈2.667), so the apparent combined hypotenuse in each figure is actually bent. With the bent hypotenuse, the first figure actually occupies a combined 32 units, while the second figure occupies 33, including the "missing" square.

  3. Triangular distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution

    This distribution for a = 0, b = 1 and c = 0.5—the mode (i.e., the peak) is exactly in the middle of the interval—corresponds to the distribution of the mean of two standard uniform variables, that is, the distribution of X = (X 1 + X 2) / 2, where X 1, X 2 are two independent random variables with standard uniform distribution in [0, 1]. [1]

    Let be a metric space with distance function .Let be a set of indices and let () be a tuple (indexed collection) of nonempty subsets (the sites) in the space .The Voronoi cell, or Voronoi region, , associated with the site is the set of all points in whose distance to is not greater than their distance to the other sites , where is any index different from .

  5. Triangulation (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(topology)

    A space that admits such a homeomorphism is called a triangulable space. Triangulations can also be used to define a piecewise linear structure for a space, if one exists. Triangulation has various applications both in and outside of mathematics, for instance in algebraic topology, in complex analysis, and in modeling.

  6. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    The four simplexes that can be fully represented in 3D space. In geometry, a simplex (plural: simplexes or simplices) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions. The simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope in any given dimension. For example, a 0-dimensional simplex is ...

  7. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    Edges of the Voronoi diagram going to infinity are not defined by this relation in case of a finite set P. If the Delaunay triangulation is calculated using the Bowyer–Watson algorithm then the circumcenters of triangles having a common vertex with the "super" triangle should be ignored. Edges going to infinity start from a circumcenter and ...

    To convert between these two formulations of the problem, the square side for unit circles will be = + /. The optimal packing of 15 circles in a square Optimal solutions have been proven for n ≤ 30. Packing circles in a rectangle; Packing circles in an isosceles right triangle - good estimates are known for n < 300.

  9. Triangulation (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(surveying)

    Snell calculated how the planar formulae could be corrected to allow for the curvature of the earth. He also showed how to resection, or calculate, the position of a point inside a triangle using the angles cast between the vertices at the unknown point. These could be measured much more accurately than bearings of the vertices, which depended ...
