  2. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

    As an example, the distance squared between the points (0,0,0,0) and (1,1,1,0) is 3 in both the Euclidean and Minkowskian 4-spaces, while the distance squared between (0,0,0,0) and (1,1,1,1) is 4 in Euclidean space and 2 in Minkowski space; increasing b 4 decreases the metric distance. This leads to many of the well-known apparent "paradoxes ...

  3. Product lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_lining

    The number of different categories of a company is referred to as width of product mix. The total number of products sold in all lines is referred to as length of product mix. If a line of products is sold with the same brand name, this is referred to as family branding. When you add a new product to a line, it is referred to as a line ...

  4. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

    The basis for this otherwise odd seeming resolution is similar to that of other "wide" standards – the line scan (refresh) rate of the well-established "XGA" standard (1024 × 768 pixels, 4:3 aspect ratio) extended to give square pixels on the increasingly popular 16:9 widescreen display ratio without having to effect major signalling changes ...

  5. Curve of constant width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_constant_width

    When that happens, the curve traced out by the endpoints of the line segment is an involute that encloses the given curve without crossing it, with constant width equal to the length of the line segment. [9] If the starting curve is smooth (except at the cusps), the resulting curve of constant width will also be smooth.

  6. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    A form is an artist's way of using elements of art, principles of design, and media. Form, as an element of art, is three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width, but it also has depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form, and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

  7. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Here, p is the (positive) length of the line segment perpendicular to the line and delimited by the origin and the line, and is the (oriented) angle from the x-axis to this segment. It may be useful to express the equation in terms of the angle α = φ + π / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =\varphi +\pi /2} between the x -axis and the line.

  8. Two-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_space

    Euclidean space has parallel lines which extend infinitely while remaining equidistant. In non-Euclidean spaces, lines perpendicular to a traversal either converge or diverge. A two-dimensional space is a mathematical space with two dimensions , meaning points have two degrees of freedom : their locations can be locally described with two ...

  9. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    Geometrical–optical illusions then relate in the first instance to object characteristics as defined by geometry. Though vision is three-dimensional, in many situations depth can be factored out and attention concentrated on a simple view of a two-dimensional tablet with its x and y co-ordinates.'
