  2. Bernoulli quadrisection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_quadrisection...

    One of the two uses the symmetry axis as one of the two perpendicular lines, while the other has two lines of slope , each crossing the base and one side. [ 1 ] This subdivision of a triangle is a special case of a theorem of Richard Courant and Herbert Robbins that any plane area can be subdivided into four equal parts by two perpendicular ...

  3. Land Ordinance of 1785 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Ordinance_of_1785

    After he died in 1789, responsibility for surveying was transferred to the Surveyor General. Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, 6 mi (9.7 km) on a side, each divided into thirty-six sections of 1 sq mi (2.6 km 2) or 640 acres (260 ha). These sections could then be subdivided for re-sale by settlers and land speculators.

  4. Rule of thirds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

    The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. [4]

  5. Sagittal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_plane

    The sagittal plane (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ɪ t əl /; also known as the longitudinal plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. [1] It is perpendicular to the transverse and coronal planes.

  6. Data-flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_diagram

    The process (function, transformation) is part of a system that transforms inputs to outputs. The symbol of a process is a circle, an oval, a rectangle or a rectangle with rounded corners (according to the type of notation). The process is named in one word, a short sentence, or a phrase that is clearly to express its essence. [7] Data flow

  7. Directed graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph

    A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arcs, directed edges (sometimes simply edges with the corresponding set named E instead of A), arrows, or directed lines. It differs from an ordinary or undirected graph, in that the latter is defined in terms of unordered pairs of vertices, which are usually called edges, links or lines.

  8. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The 'exterior' or 'external bisector' is the line that divides the supplementary angle (of 180° minus the original angle), formed by one side forming the original angle and the extension of the other side, into two equal angles. [1] To bisect an angle with straightedge and compass, one draws a circle whose center is the vertex. The circle ...

  9. Median (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Each median divides the area of the triangle in half, hence the name, and hence a triangular object of uniform density would balance on any median. (Any other lines that divide triangle's area into two equal parts do not pass through the centroid.) [2] [3] The three medians divide the triangle into six smaller triangles of equal area.
