  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. A semicircle can be used to construct the arithmetic and geometric means of two lengths using straight-edge and compass.

  3. Quadratrix of Hippias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratrix_of_Hippias

    The extension of ¯ meets the half circle in ¯ and due to Thales' theorem the line segment ¯ is the altitude of the right-angled triangle. Hence the geometric mean theorem can be applied, which means that O R ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {OR}}} forms the side of a square O U S R {\displaystyle OUSR} with the same area as the rectangle B L N O ...

  4. Arc diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_diagram

    An arc diagram is a style of graph drawing, in which the vertices of a graph are placed along a line in the Euclidean plane, with edges being drawn as semicircles in one or both of the two halfplanes bounded by the line, or as smooth curves formed by sequences of semicircles. In some cases, line segments of the line itself are also allowed as ...

  5. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(mathematics)

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  6. Carlyle circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_circle

    The defining property of the Carlyle circle can be established thus: the equation of the circle having the line segment AB as diameter is x(x − s) + (y − 1)(y − p) = 0. The abscissas of the points where the circle intersects the x-axis are the roots of the equation (obtained by setting y = 0 in the equation of the circle)

  7. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    For example, the equations = ⁡ = ⁡ form a parametric representation of the unit circle, where t is the parameter: A point (x, y) is on the unit circle if and only if there is a value of t such that these two equations generate that point.

  8. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  9. Gauss circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_circle_problem

    Gauss's circle problem asks how many points there are inside this circle of the form (,) where and are both integers. Since the equation of this circle is given in Cartesian coordinates by x 2 + y 2 = r 2 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}} , the question is equivalently asking how many pairs of integers m and n there are such that
