In spirits author Kara Newman’s 2016 book Shake.Stir. Sip., which features more than 50 cocktails made in equal-parts, she writes, “Some of the best cocktails are the easiest to make.” These ...
The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.
The circle meets the angle at two points: one on each leg. Using each of these points as a center, draw two circles of the same size. The intersection of the circles (two points) determines a line that is the angle bisector. The proof of the correctness of this construction is fairly intuitive, relying on the symmetry of the problem.
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 .
Equal chords are subtended by equal angles from the center of the circle. A chord that passes through the center of a circle is called a diameter and is the longest chord of that specific circle. If the line extensions (secant lines) of chords AB and CD intersect at a point P, then their lengths satisfy AP·PB = CP·PD (power of a point theorem).
A circle (C 4) centered at A' with radius |A'A| meets the circle (C 1) at E and E'. Two circles (C 5) centered at E and (C 6) centered at E' with radius |EA| meet at A and O. O is the sought center of |AD|. The design principle can also be applied to a line segment AD. The proof described above is also applicable for this design. Note: Point A ...
It can only be used to draw a line segment between two points, or to extend an existing line segment. The compass can have an arbitrarily large radius with no markings on it (unlike certain real-world compasses). Circles and circular arcs can be drawn starting from two given points: the centre and a point on the circle. The compass may or may ...
Common lines and line segments on a circle, including a secant. A straight line can intersect a circle at zero, one, or two points. A line with intersections at two points is called a secant line, at one point a tangent line and at no points an exterior line. A chord is the line segment that joins two distinct points of a circle. A chord is ...
