  2. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    To generate the line that bisects the angle between two given rays [clarification needed] requires a circle of arbitrary radius centered on the intersection point P of the two lines (2). The intersection points of this circle with the two given lines (5) are T1 and T2. Two circles of the same radius, centered on T1 and T2, intersect at points P ...

  3. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    Any initial two disjoint given circles can be rendered concentric as follows. The radical axis of the two given circles is constructed; choosing two arbitrary points P and Q on this radical axis, two circles can be constructed that are centered on P and Q and that intersect the two given circles orthogonally. These two constructed circles ...

  4. Mrs. Miniver's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Miniver's_problem

    Mrs. Miniver's problem is a geometry problem about the area of circles. It asks how to place two circles and of given radii in such a way that the lens formed by intersecting their two interiors has equal area to the symmetric difference of and (the area contained in one but not both circles). [1]

  5. Miquel's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miquel's_theorem

    The theorem can be reversed to say: for three circles intersecting at M, a line can be drawn from any point A on one circle, through its intersection C´ with another to give B (at the second intersection). B is then similarly connected, via intersection at A´ of the second and third circles, giving point C.

  6. Tangent circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_circles

    In geometry, tangent circles (also known as kissing circles) are circles in a common plane that intersect in a single point. There are two types of tangency : internal and external. Many problems and constructions in geometry are related to tangent circles; such problems often have real-life applications such as trilateration and maximizing the ...

  7. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    intersection of two polygons: window test. If one wants to determine the intersection points of two polygons, one can check the intersection of any pair of line segments of the polygons (see above). For polygons with many segments this method is rather time-consuming. In practice one accelerates the intersection algorithm by using window tests ...

  8. Apollonian circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_circles

    A given blue circle and a given red circle intersect in two points. In order to obtain bipolar coordinates, a method is required to specify which point is the right one.. An isoptic arc is the locus of points X that sees points C, D under a given oriented angle of vectors i.e. ⁡ = { | (,) = +}.

  9. Lune (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In plane geometry, a lune (from Latin luna 'moon') is the concave-convex region bounded by two circular arcs. [1] It has one boundary portion for which the connecting segment of any two nearby points moves outside the region and another boundary portion for which the connecting segment of any two nearby points lies entirely inside the region.
