  2. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    k = 1 is the tangent line to the right of the circles looking from c 1 to c 2. k = −1 is the tangent line to the right of the circles looking from c 2 to c 1. The above assumes each circle has positive radius. If r 1 is positive and r 2 negative then c 1 will lie to the left of each line and c 2 to the right, and the two tangent lines will ...

  3. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Illustration of a unit circle. The variable t is an angle measure. Animation of the act of unrolling the circumference of a unit circle, a circle with radius of 1. Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1]

  4. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    The tangent line to the unit circle at the point A, is perpendicular to , and intersects the y - and x-axes at points = (,) and = (,). The coordinates of these points give the values of all trigonometric functions for any arbitrary real value of θ in the following manner.

  5. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The tangent line through a point P on the circle is perpendicular to the diameter passing through P. If P = (x 1, y 1) and the circle has centre (a, b) and radius r, then the tangent line is perpendicular to the line from (a, b) to (x 1, y 1), so it has the form (x 1 − a)x + (y 1 – b)y = c.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    All tangent circles to the given circles can be found by varying line . Positions of the centers Circles tangent to two circles. If is the center and the radius of the circle, that is tangent to the given circles at the points ,, then:

  7. Hedgehog (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    More intuitively, sufficiently well-behaved hedgehogs are plane curves with one tangent line in each oriented direction. A projective hedgehog is a restricted type of hedgehog, defined from an anti-symmetric support function, and (again when sufficiently well-behaved) forms a curve with one tangent line in each direction, regardless of orientation.

  8. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    The reciprocal identities arise as ratios of sides in the triangles where this unit line is no longer the hypotenuse. The triangle shaded blue illustrates the identity 1 + cot 2 ⁡ θ = csc 2 ⁡ θ {\displaystyle 1+\cot ^{2}\theta =\csc ^{2}\theta } , and the red triangle shows that tan 2 ⁡ θ + 1 = sec 2 ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \tan ^{2 ...

  9. Ford circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_circle

    Each circle is tangent to the base line and its neighboring circles. Irreducible fractions with the same denominator have circles of the same size. In mathematics, a Ford circle is a circle in the Euclidean plane, in a family of circles that are all tangent to the -axis at rational points.
