  2. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    Here, θ = 0 represents a needle that is parallel to the marked lines, and θ = ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians represents a needle that is perpendicular to the marked lines. Any angle within this range is assumed an equally likely outcome.

  3. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  4. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    the distance between the two lines can be found by locating two points (one on each line) that lie on a common perpendicular to the parallel lines and calculating the distance between them. Since the lines have slope m , a common perpendicular would have slope −1/ m and we can take the line with equation y = − x / m as a common perpendicular.

    The two circles in the Two points, one line problem where the line through P and Q is not parallel to the given line l, can be constructed with compass and straightedge by: Draw the line m through the given points P and Q. The point G is where the lines l and m intersect; Draw circle C that has PQ as diameter. Draw one of the tangents from G to ...

  6. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

  7. Carnot's theorem (perpendiculars) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot's_theorem...

    Carnot's theorem: if three perpendiculars on triangle sides intersect in a common point F, then blue area = red area. Carnot's theorem (named after Lazare Carnot) describes a necessary and sufficient condition for three lines that are perpendicular to the (extended) sides of a triangle having a common point of intersection.
