  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    For a semicircle with a diameter of a + b, the length of its radius is the arithmetic mean of a and b (since the radius is half of the diameter). The geometric mean can be found by dividing the diameter into two segments of lengths a and b, and then connecting their common endpoint to the semicircle with a segment perpendicular to the diameter ...

  3. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    In the design of windows or doors with rounded tops, c and h may be the only known values and can be used to calculate R for the draftsman's compass setting. One can reconstruct the full dimensions of a complete circular object from fragments by measuring the arc length and the chord length of the fragment. To check hole positions on a circular ...

  4. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

    Parameters of a stadium The Bunimovich stadium, a chaotic dynamical system based on the stadium shape The bottom of this plastic basket is stadium-shaped.. A stadium is a two-dimensional geometric shape constructed of a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. [1]

  6. Semicircular potential well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircular_potential_well

    The moment of inertia for a semicircle, best expressed in cylindrical coordinates, is = (,,).Solving the integral, one finds that the moment of inertia of a semicircle is =, exactly the same for a hoop of the same radius.

  7. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    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. The angle θ is taken in the positive sense and must lie in the interval 0 < θ ≤ π (radian measure).

    The circle of radius ⁠ ⁠ with center at ⁠ (,) ⁠ in the ⁠ ⁠ – ⁠ ⁠ plane can be broken into two semicircles each of which is the graph of a function, ⁠ + ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠, respectively: + = + (), = (), for values of ⁠ ⁠ ranging from ⁠ ⁠ to ⁠ + ⁠.

  9. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The cosine function can be defined either as a power series, or as the solution of a certain differential equation. This avoids any reference to circles in the definition of π , so that statements about the relation of π to the circumference and area of circles are actually theorems, rather than definitions, that follow from the analytical ...
