  2. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.

  3. Line segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

    A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints. In geometry , a line segment is often denoted using an overline ( vinculum ) above the symbols for the two endpoints, such as in AB .

  4. Extreme point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_point

    The open line segment or open interval between and is (,) = when = while it is (,) = {+ (): < <} when . [2] The points and are called the endpoints of these interval. An interval is said to be a non−degenerate interval or a proper interval if its endpoints are distinct.

  5. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Here, p is the (positive) length of the line segment perpendicular to the line and delimited by the origin and the line, and is the (oriented) angle from the x-axis to this segment. It may be useful to express the equation in terms of the angle α = φ + π / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =\varphi +\pi /2} between the x -axis and the line.

  6. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    The de Longchamps point is the point of concurrence of several lines with the Euler line. Three lines, each formed by drawing an external equilateral triangle on one of the sides of a given triangle and connecting the new vertex to the original triangle's opposite vertex, are concurrent at a point called the first isogonal center.

    [2] arg max – argument of the maximum. arg min – argument of the minimum. arsech – inverse hyperbolic secant function. arsinh – inverse hyperbolic sine function. artanh – inverse hyperbolic tangent function. a.s. – almost surely. atan2 – inverse tangent function with two arguments. (Also written as arctan2.) A.P. – arithmetic ...

  8. Convex set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_set

    Equivalently, a convex set or a convex region is a set that intersects every line in a line segment, single point, or the empty set. [1] [2] For example, a solid cube is a convex set, but anything that is hollow or has an indent, for example, a crescent shape, is not convex. The boundary of a convex set in the plane is always a convex curve.

  9. Relative interior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_interior

    A set is relatively open iff it is equal to its relative interior. Note that when aff ⁡ ( S ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {aff} (S)} is a closed subspace of the full vector space (always the case when the full vector space is finite dimensional) then being relatively closed is equivalent to being closed.
