  2. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    The intersection point falls within the first line segment if 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, and it falls within the second line segment if 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. These inequalities can be tested without the need for division, allowing rapid determination of the existence of any line segment intersection before calculating its exact point. [3]

  3. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the lineline intersection between two distinct lines , which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex ) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel ).

  4. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  5. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Cyan line has a single point of intersection. Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space.

  7. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

  8. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    A complex number that includes also the extraction of cube roots has a solid construction. In the language of fields, a complex number that is planar has degree a power of two, and lies in a field extension that can be broken down into a tower of fields where each extension has degree two. A complex number that has a solid construction has ...

  9. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A point on number line corresponds to a real number and vice versa. [15] Usually, integers are evenly spaced on the line, with positive numbers are on the right, negative numbers on the left. As an extension to the concept, an imaginary line representing imaginary numbers can be drawn perpendicular to the number line at zero. [16]
