  2. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    intersection of two polygons: window test. If one wants to determine the intersection points of two polygons, one can check the intersection of any pair of line segments of the polygons (see above). For polygons with many segments this method is rather time-consuming. In practice one accelerates the intersection algorithm by using window tests ...

  3. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

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

    Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of a line and a circle (if they intersect) Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of two circles (if they intersect). For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing ...

  4. Mohr–Mascheroni theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Mascheroni_theorem

    The intersections of circle C(r) and the new red circle D(r) are points P and Q. If the two circles are (externally) tangential then =. Internal tangency is not possible. If the two circles do not intersect then neither does the circle with the line. Points P and Q are the intersection points of circle C(r) and the line AB.

  5. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    To generate the line that bisects the angle between two given rays [clarification needed] requires a circle of arbitrary radius centered on the intersection point P of the two lines (2). The intersection points of this circle with the two given lines (5) are T1 and T2. Two circles of the same radius, centered on T1 and T2, intersect at points P ...

  6. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    The distances between the centers of the nearer and farther circles, O 2 and O 1 and the point where the two outer tangents of the two circles intersect (homothetic center), S respectively can be found out using similarity as follows: Here, r can be r 1 or r 2 depending upon the need to find distances from the centers of the nearer or farther ...

  7. Johnson circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_circles

    In geometry, a set of Johnson circles comprises three circles of equal radius r sharing one common point of intersection H.In such a configuration the circles usually have a total of four intersections (points where at least two of them meet): the common point H that they all share, and for each of the three pairs of circles one more intersection point (referred here as their 2-wise intersection).

  8. Poncelet–Steiner theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poncelet–Steiner_theorem

    The intersection points between any line and the given circle (or given arc of a circle) may be found directly, as can the intersection points between the arcs of two circles, if provided. The Poncelet-Steiner Theorem does not prohibit the normal treatment of circles already drawn in the plane; normal construction rules apply.

  9. Circle packing theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_theorem

    The intersection graph of a circle packing is the graph having a vertex for each circle, and an edge for every pair of circles that are tangent. If the circle packing is on the plane, or, equivalently, on the sphere, then its intersection graph is called a coin graph ; more generally, intersection graphs of interior-disjoint geometric objects ...
