In Euclidean geometry, an orthodiagonal quadrilateral is a quadrilateral in which the diagonals cross at right angles. In other words, it is a four-sided figure in which the line segments between non-adjacent vertices are orthogonal (perpendicular) to each other.
In the case of an orthodiagonal quadrilateral (e.g. rhombus, square, and kite), this formula reduces to = since θ is 90°. The area can be also expressed in terms of bimedians as [16] = , where the lengths of the bimedians are m and n and the angle between them is φ.
This formula generalizes Heron's formula for the area of a triangle. A triangle may be regarded as a quadrilateral with one side of length zero. From this perspective, as d approaches zero, a cyclic quadrilateral converges into a cyclic triangle (all triangles are cyclic), and Brahmagupta's formula simplifies to Heron's formula.
The formula for the closest point to the origin may be expressed more succinctly using notation from linear algebra. The expression a x + b y + c z {\displaystyle ax+by+cz} in the definition of a plane is a dot product ( a , b , c ) ⋅ ( x , y , z ) {\displaystyle (a,b,c)\cdot (x,y,z)} , and the expression a 2 + b 2 + c 2 {\displaystyle a^{2 ...
Examples of cyclic quadrilaterals. In Euclidean geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle.This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle, and the vertices are said to be concyclic.
The elements of this field are precisely those that may be expressed as a formula in the original points using only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, complex conjugate, and square root, which is easily seen to be a countable dense subset of the plane. Each of these six operations corresponding to a simple ...
A tangential quadrilateral with its incircle. In Euclidean geometry, a tangential quadrilateral (sometimes just tangent quadrilateral) or circumscribed quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose sides all can be tangent to a single circle within the quadrilateral.
The Euclidean distance gives Euclidean space the structure of a topological space, the Euclidean topology, with the open balls (subsets of points at less than a given distance from a given point) as its neighborhoods.
