  2. Malfatti circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfatti_circles

    The problem of maximizing the total area of three circles in a triangle is never solved by the Malfatti circles. Instead, the optimal solution can always be found by a greedy algorithm that finds the largest circle within the given triangle, the largest circle within the three connected subsets of the triangle outside of the first circle, and ...

  3. Nine-point circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_circle

    The circle is an instance of a conic section and the nine-point circle is an instance of the general nine-point conic that has been constructed with relation to a triangle ABC and a fourth point P, where the particular nine-point circle instance arises when P is the orthocenter of ABC.

  4. 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).

  5. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    A circle circumference and radius are proportional. The area enclosed and the square of its radius are proportional. The constants of proportionality are 2 π and π respectively. The circle that is centred at the origin with radius 1 is called the unit circle. Thought of as a great circle of the unit sphere, it becomes the Riemannian circle.

  6. Trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry

    Trigonometric ratios can also be represented using the unit circle, which is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin in the plane. [37] In this setting, the terminal side of an angle A placed in standard position will intersect the unit circle in a point (x,y), where x = cos ⁡ A {\displaystyle x=\cos A} and y = sin ⁡ A {\displaystyle ...

  7. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    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.

  8. Borromean rings - Wikipedia

    [9] [10] The link itself is much older and has appeared in the form of the valknut, three linked equilateral triangles with parallel sides, on Norse image stones dating back to the 7th century. [11] The Ōmiwa Shrine in Japan is also decorated with a motif of the Borromean rings, in their conventional circular form. [ 2 ]

    For example, cubes have 12 edges, but 9 measurements are enough to decide if a polyhedron of that combinatorial type is congruent to a given regular cube.
