  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The equation of the circle determined by three points (,), (,), (,) not on a line is obtained by a conversion of the 3-point form of a circle equation: () + () () () = () + () () (). Homogeneous form In homogeneous coordinates , each conic section with the equation of a circle has the form x 2 + y 2 − 2 a x z − 2 b y z + c z 2 = 0 ...

  3. Curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature

    is equal to one. This parametrization gives the same value for the curvature, as it amounts to division by r 3 in both the numerator and the denominator in the preceding formula. The same circle can also be defined by the implicit equation F(x, y) = 0 with F(x, y) = x 2 + y 2 – r 2. Then, the formula for the curvature in this case gives

  4. Circle graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_graph

    A circle with five chords and the corresponding circle graph. In graph theory, a circle graph is the intersection graph of a chord diagram.That is, it is an undirected graph whose vertices can be associated with a finite system of chords of a circle such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding chords cross each other.

  5. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Ptolemy used a circle of diameter 120, and gave chord lengths accurate to two sexagesimal (base sixty) digits after the integer part. [2] The chord function is defined geometrically as shown in the picture. The chord of an angle is the length of the chord between two points on a unit circle separated by that central angle.

  6. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    Implicit means that the equation is not expressed as a solution for either x in terms of y or vice versa. If F ( x , y ) {\displaystyle F(x,y)} is a polynomial in two variables, the corresponding curve is called an algebraic curve , and specific methods are available for studying it.

  7. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    where c ∈ ℝ n is the center of the circle (irrelevant since it disappears in the derivatives), a,b ∈ ℝ n are perpendicular vectors of length ρ (that is, a · a = b · b = ρ 2 and a · b = 0), and h : ℝ → ℝ is an arbitrary function which is twice differentiable at t.

  8. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    The arc length, from the familiar geometry of a circle, is s = θ R {\displaystyle s={\theta }R} The area a of the circular segment is equal to the area of the circular sector minus the area of the triangular portion (using the double angle formula to get an equation in terms of θ {\displaystyle \theta } ):

  9. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    As the graph is connected, the Euler relation for the 2-dimensional sphere S 2 + = holds. View the diagram (the circle together with all the chords) above as a planar graph. If the general formulas for V and E can both be found, the formula for F can also be derived, which will solve the problem.
