  2. Constructions in hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    As a result, c is also parallel to a', making c the common parallel to lines a and a'. [3] Case 2: a and a' are parallel to each other. Using a hyperbolic ruler, construct AI' such that AI' is parallel to a' and perpendicular to a. Construct another line A'I such that A'I is parallel to a and perpendicular to a'. Let the intersection of AI' and ...

  3. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    The number of vertices is smaller when some lines are parallel, or when some vertices are crossed by more than two lines. [4] An arrangement can be rotated, if necessary, to avoid axis-parallel lines. After this step, each ray that forms an edge of the arrangement extends either upward or downward from its endpoint; it cannot be horizontal.

  4. Constructible polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_polygon

    In mathematics, a constructible polygon is a regular polygon that can be constructed with compass and straightedge. For example, a regular pentagon is constructible with compass and straightedge while a regular heptagon is not. There are infinitely many constructible polygons, but only 31 with an odd number of sides are known.

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

    Line art drawing of parallel lines and curves. In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance. In three ...

    The following construction is a variation of H. W. Richmond's construction. The differences to the original: The circle k 2 determines the point H instead of the bisector w 3. The circle k 4 around the point G' (reflection of the point G at m) yields the point N, which is no longer so close to M, for the construction of the tangent.

  7. Parallelogon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogon

    In geometry, a parallelogon is a polygon with parallel opposite sides (hence the name) that can tile a plane by translation (rotation is not permitted). [1] [2] Parallelogons have an even number of sides and opposite sides that are equal in length.

  8. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    For an n-sided star polygon, the Schläfli symbol is modified to indicate the density or "starriness" m of the polygon, as {n/m}. If m is 2, for example, then every second point is joined. If m is 3, then every third point is joined. The boundary of the polygon winds around the center m times. The (non-degenerate) regular stars of up to 12 ...

  9. Rectilinear polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_polygon

    A rectilinear polygon is a polygon all of whose sides meet at right angles. Thus the interior angle at each vertex is either 90° or 270°. Rectilinear polygons are a special case of isothetic polygons. In many cases another definition is preferable: a rectilinear polygon is a polygon with sides parallel to the axes of Cartesian coordinates ...
