How to draw a half circle in OpenFrameworks?
2 answers
To draw a half circle in OpenFrameworks, you can use the ofDrawArc() function, which takes in four arguments: the x and y coordinates of the center of the arc, the radius of the arc, and the starting and ending angles of the arc (in degrees). To draw a half circle, you would set the starting angle to 0 and the ending angle to 180. Here is an example of how you might use ofDrawArc() to draw a half circle with a radius of 50 units, centered at the point (100, 100) on the screen:
1
ofDrawArc(100,100,50,0,180);
You can also use ofBeginShape() and ofVertex() to draw a half circle by specifying the coordinates of the vertices of the circle, it would look like this:
These are some ways to draw a half circle in OpenFrameworks. Experiment with the different methods to see which one fits your project the best. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! | 677.169 | 1 |
What Are Transversal Lines?
A transversal is when two parallel lines are intersected by the third line at an angle. The line intersecting the two parallel lines; the third line is known as the transversal line. We get different types of angles when a transversal line passes through the parallel lines. Some of the commonly known angles are defined below:
Supplementary angles - When pair angles are added together and give us a measure of 180 degrees, we get supplementary angles. When we put the pair of supplementary angles together, we can draw a straight line across the two angles. Or simply put, the two angles, when put together, will make a half-circle. Also, the supplementary angles aren't limited to transversals.
Interior Angles - As the name implies, angles present interiorly, on the inside, of the two parallel lines are known as the interior angles.
Exterior Angles - Angles present on the outside of the two parallel lines are known as the exterior angles.
Corresponding Angles - Angles that are present on the same side of the transversal line are known as the corresponding angles. In corresponding angles, one angle is an interior angle while the other is the exterior angle; these angles are equal in measurement and are congruent.
Whenever you go on to study math, do you think that the subject is boring? Well, everyone thinks that there is not a single thing about math that makes sense and could b fun or interesting to study about. But that's not true! Math has its fair share of exciting topics that is actually very interesting and very fun to learn about!
When you come across a line that breaks across two other lines it is called a transversal line. When a transversal cuts across parallel lines we quick determine the value of all the angles by just knowing the measure of one of the angles. Vertical opposite angles (the angle opposite the known angle) are equal. Supplementary angles will then add to one-hundred and eighty degrees. That gives us all the measures of the angles around the known angle. We can then identify an alternate exterior or interior angle pair. There measures will be equal. We can then repeat this procedure to determine all angles around that line and the cutting line. These worksheets explains how to find and determine the angle of a transversal. Instructors please note that some examples may not contain any transversals. | 677.169 | 1 |
Finding the angle between two vectors
In summary, the conversation discusses the use of sine and cosine angle rules in different contexts, and whether one is allowed to use one rule over the other or if it does not matter. The conversation also provides examples of using the rules in two and three dimensions. It is ultimately stated that it does not matter which rule is used, with a personal preference towards cosine rule for easier calculation.

sine and cosine angle rules
This is clear to me; i just wanted to know in which contexts is one allowed to use one rule over the other; or it does not matter.
It does not matter. In most cases I prefer cos because I can calculate inner product easier than vector product.

What is the definition of the angle between two vectors?
The angle between two vectors is the measure of the smallest angle formed between the two vectors when they are placed tail-to-tail.
How do you calculate the angle between two vectors?
The angle between two vectors can be calculated using the dot product formula: θ = cos^-1((a•b)/(|a||b|)), where a and b are the two vectors.
What is the range of values for the angle between two vectors?
The angle between two vectors can have values between 0 and 180 degrees. If the angle is 0 degrees, the vectors are parallel, and if the angle is 180 degrees, the vectors are anti-parallel.
Can the angle between two vectors be negative?
No, the angle between two vectors cannot be negative. It is always measured as a positive value between 0 and 180 degrees.
How does finding the angle between two vectors relate to real-world applications?
Finding the angle between two vectors is a crucial concept in physics and engineering, where it is used to calculate forces and determine the direction of motion. It is also used in navigation, computer graphics, and other fields where vector quantities are involved. | 677.169 | 1 |
ISOSCELES EQUILATERAL AND RIGHT TRIANGLES WORKSHEET
The television antenna is perpendicular to the plane containing the points B. C, D and E. Each of the stays running from the top of the antenna to B, C, and D uses the same length of cable. Prove that ΔAEB, ΔAEC and ΔAED are congruent.
1. Answer :
Given : In ΔABC, AB ≅ AC.
To prove : ∠B ≅ ∠C.
Proof :
(i) Draw the bisector of ∠CAB.
(ii) By construction, ∠CAD ≅ ∠BAD.
(iii) We are given that AB ≅ AC. Also DA ≅ DA, by the Reflexive Property of Congruence.
(iii) Use the SAS Congruence Postulate to conclude that ΔADB ≅ ΔADC.
(iv) Because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, it follows that ∠B ≅ ∠C.
2. Answer :
Part (i) :
In the diagram shown above, x represents the measure of an angle of an equilateral triangle.
From the corollary given above, if a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular.
So, the measure of each angle in the equilateral triangle is x.
By the Triangle Sum Theorem, we have
x° + x° + x° = 180°
Simplify.
3x = 180
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 60
Part (ii) :
In the diagram shown above, y represents the measure of a base angle of an isosceles triangle.
From the Base Angles Theorem, the other base angle has the same measure. The vertex angle forms a linear pair with a 60° angle, so its measure is 120°.
It has been illustrated in the diagram given below.
By the Triangle Sum Theorem, we have
120° + y° + y° = 180°
Simplify.
120 + 2y = 180
Subtract 120 from both sides.
2y = 60
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 30
3. Answer :
Given : AE ⊥ EB, AE ⊥ EC, AE ⊥ ED, AB ≅ AC ≅ AD.
To Prove : ΔAEB ≅ ΔAEC ≅ ΔAED
Proof :
(i) We are given that AE ⊥ EB and AE ⊥ EC which implies that ∠AEB ≅ ∠AEC are right angles.
(ii) By definition, ΔAEB and and ΔAEC are right triangles.
(iii) We are given that the hypotenuse of these two triangles AB and AC are congruent.
(iv) Also, AE is a leg for both the triangles and AE ≅ AE by the Reflexive Property of Congruence. Thus, by the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem, ΔAEB ≅ ΔAEC.
(v) Similar reasoning can be used to prove that ΔAEC ≅ ΔAED. So, by the Transitive Property of Congruent Triangles, ΔAEB ≅ ΔAEC ≅ ΔAED. | 677.169 | 1 |
Consider circle N with radius 30 cm and θ = radians. What is the approximate length of minor arc LM? Round to the nearest tenth
The arc of LM would be 30 cm. Assuming that <span>θ = radians means that theta equals ONE radian (there is no other value given), then the arc would be the same length as the radius. The definition of a radian is an angle in which the arc is the same length as the radius of the circle.
Well we can make one of those t charts, so start with 23 and 9, then add 4 to the 23 and 6 to the 9 until they match. In this case it would be 5 Months, I am assuming it is D and that instead of 51 it should be 5 | 677.169 | 1 |

Difference between Circle and Ellipse
In terms of comprehending mathematical figures and structures, geometry has become increasingly significant. Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies diverse shapes and figures in order to answer hard mathematical problems. It is critical to fully comprehend and analyze these figures in order to solve mathematical issues involving geometry, including shapes and figures.
Circle Vs. Ellipse
The difference between a circle and an ellipse is that, while both figures appear similar, the distance between any point on the circumference and the centre in a circle is equal, whereas in an ellipse, the distance between the centre and any point on the circumference is different from each other.
The circle is a geometrical figure that is used to answer geometry issues in mathematics. The circle differs from other geometrical figures in that the distance between its centre and any point on its perimeter is the same. There are many examples of circular figures in everyday life, such as wheels or bottle caps, among many more.
An ellipse is a mathematical figure used in geometry to solve ellipse-related geometrical equations. An ellipse is a curve line that has been turned into a plane on both sides. Unlike other geometrical forms, the size of an ellipse can vary.
What is Circle?
A circle is a geometrical figure with a round shape that is used to solve mathematical equations and difficulties. It is a geometric figure that is one of the most frequent and widely used mathematical figures.
All of the points on a circle's perimeter are at the same distance from the centre, which is a unique property. The shape of a circle and its distance from the centre are used to classify it. The study of geometrical figures has aided the progression of mathematics and science over time, and the circle is one of the most important figures among those that have contributed to the study of mathematics.
A circle also has a specific formula for calculating its radius and other significant geometrical components. Other than mathematical figures, there are several examples of circular shapes or things in real life. The primary concept that governs the construction of a circle is applied to the creation of circular things in the actual world.
For the processing of these figures, such as the construction of wheels in human life, these applications and principles are applied in both mathematics and real life.
What is Ellipse?
An ellipse is a geometrical figure made up of a curve line drawn above a plane line in both directions to create a flattened circular form. It's used to solve ellipse-related mathematical equations and issues.
The distance between the points on an ellipse's perimeter and the centre is not the same. The curve is designed in such a way that the distance between two separate places, known as foci, is constant when measured from a moving point. An ellipse can be created by cutting a cone with an oblique plane that does not intersect the base.
An ellipse can take any shape and isn't limited to one type of figure. It can be a more or less flattened structure, or even a circle-shaped structure. Unlike a circle, the radius of an ellipse does not remain constant throughout the shape.
The orbits in which the planets are known to revolve around are the most common real-life instances of an ellipse. While studying an ellipse, the astronomical cases can be easily found in real life.
Difference between Circle and Ellipse
A circle has the same distance from any point on the circumference to the center. Whereas an ellipse does not have the same distance from any point to the center.
A circle has a fixed shape of a figure even if the viewpoint is moved. While an ellipse may vary in shape, which depends on the distance from each focus.
A circle has a fixed radius that does not change its position. On the other hand, an ellipse does not have a fixed radius throughout the shape of an ellipse.
The radius of a circle is at the center, but the two foci of an ellipse lie at either end of an ellipse.
A circle does not originate from the shape of an ellipse whereas, an ellipse may seem like a flattened circle.
Conclusion
In the study of math and science, mathematical figures are essential. It aids in the solution of a variety of mathematical problems and equations. Both the circle and the ellipse are important mathematical figures that have aided in the study of math and science, as well as the creation of scientific traits and the experimentation of a variety of items.
The examples of a circle and an ellipse can also be found in everyday objects like wheels and astronomical objects like planet orbital routes. | 677.169 | 1 |
Problem of Apollonius
Problem of Apollonius
In Euclidean plane geometry, Apollonius' problem is to construct circles that are tangent to three given circles in a plane (Figure 1); two circles are tangent if they touch at a single point. Apollonius of Perga (ca. 262 BC – ca. 190 BC) posed and solved this famous problem in his work "Επαφαι" ("Tangencies"), which has been lost. A 4th-century report of his results by Pappus of Alexandria has survived, from which François Viète was able to reconstruct Apollonius' solution in the 16th century.
Apollonius' problem has been a challenge throughout its history, with mathematicians such as René Descartes, Leonard Euler, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Joseph Diaz Gergonne contributing solutions. An early solution by Adriaan van Roomen used intersections of hyperbolas. Later work provided solutions using straightedge and compass constructions, algebraic formulas, or additional symmetries. The algebraic solutions have been important in practical applications such as trilateration; a position can be found from differences in distances to three known points.
In general, three given circles have eight different circles that are tangent to them (Figure 2). The solution circles differ from one another in how they enclose (or exclude) the three given circles; each solution corresponds to one way of enclosing or excluding the given circles. However, the problem has many special or limiting cases. Any of the three given circles can be shrunk to zero radius (a point) or expanded to infinite radius (a line). Another important special case is when the three given circles are tangent to each other. In this case, René Descartes found an equation relating the radii of the solution circles and those of the given circles; this equation is now known as Descartes' theorem.
Apollonius' problem can be generalized in several ways. Instead of lying in a plane, the three given circles may lie on a sphere or other quadric surface. Another generalization is to construct circles that cross the three given circles at three specified angles instead of being tangent to them. The three-dimensional analog of Apollonius' problem is to construct a sphere tangent to four given spheres; generalizations to even higher dimensions are also possible. One of the earliest fractals to be described in print was the Apollonian gasket proposed by Gottfried Leibniz, which is based on solving Apollonius' problem iteratively.
tatement of the problem
The general statement of Apollonius' problem is to construct one or more circles that are tangent to three given objects in a plane, where an object may be a line, a point or a circle of any size.cite book | author = Dörrie H | year = 1965 | chapter = The Tangency Problem of Apollonius | title = 100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics: Their History and Solutions | publisher = Dover | location = New York | pages = pp. 154–160 (§32)] These objects may be arranged in any way and may cross one another; however, they are usually taken to be distinct, meaning that they do not coincide. Solutions to Apollonius' problem are sometimes called "Apollonius circles", although the term is also used for other types of circles associated with Apollonius.
The property of tangency is defined as follows. First, a point, line or circle is assumed to be tangent to itself; hence, if a given circle is already tangent to the other two given objects, it is counted as a solution to Apollonius' problem. Two distinct geometrical objects are said to "intersect" if they have a point in common. By definition, a point is tangent to a circle or a line if it intersects them, that is, if it lies on them; thus, two distinct points cannot be tangent. If the angle between lines or circles at an intersection point is zero, they are said to be "tangent"; the intersection point is called a "tangent point" or a "point of tangency". (The word "tangent" derives from the Latinpresent participle, "tangens", meaning "touching".) In practice, two distinct circles are tangent if they intersect at only one point; if they intersect at zero or two points, they are not tangent. The same holds true for a line and a circle. Two distinct lines cannot be tangent, although two parallel lines can be considered as tangent at a point at infinity.
The solution circle may be either internally or externally tangent to each of the given circles. An "external" tangency is one where the two circles bend away from each other at their point of contact; they lie on opposite sides of the tangent line at that point, and they exclude one another. The distance between their centers equals the sum of their radii. By contrast, an "internal" tangency is one in which the two circles curve in the same way at their point of contact; the two circles lie on the same side of the tangent line, and one circle encloses the other. In this case, the distance between their centers equals the difference of their radii. As an illustration, in Figure 1, the pink solution circle is internally tangent to the medium-sized given black circle on the right, whereas it is externally tangent to the smallest and largest given circles on the left.
Apollonius' problem can also be formulated as the problem of locating one or more points such that the "differences" of its distances to three given points equal three known values. Consider a solution circle of radius "r""s" and three given circles of radii "r"1, "r"2 and "r"3. If the solution circle is externally tangent to all three given circles, the distances between the center of the solution circle and the centers of the given circles equal "d"1 = "r"1 + "r""s", "d"2 = "r"2 + "r""s" and "d"3 = "r"3 + "r""s", respectively. Therefore, differences in these distances are constants, such as "d"1 − "d"2 = "r"1 − "r"2; they depend only on the known radii of the given circles and not on the radius "r""s" of the solution circle, which cancels out. This second formulation of Apollonius' problem can be generalized to internally tangent solution circles (for which the center-center distance equals the difference of radii), by changing the corresponding differences of distances to sums of distances, so that the solution-circle radius "r""s" again cancels out. The re-formulation in terms of center-center distances is useful in the solutions below of Adriaan van Roomen and Isaac Newton, and also in trilateration, which is the task of locating a position from differences in distances to three known points. For example, navigation systems such as GPS and LORAN identify a receiver's position from the differences in arrival times of signals from three fixed positions, which correspond to the differences in distances to those transmitters.
Although successful in solving Apollonius' problem, van Roomen's method has a drawback. A prized property in classical Euclidean geometry is the ability to solve problems using only a compass and a straightedge. [cite book | author = Courant R, Robbins H | date = 1943 | title = What is Mathematics? An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods | publisher = Oxford University Press | location = London | pages = pp. 125–127, 161–162] Many constructions are impossible using only these tools, such as dividing an angle in three equal parts. However, many such "impossible" problems can be solved by intersecting curves such as hyperbolas, ellipses and parabolas (conic sections). For example, doubling the cube (the problem of constructing a cube of twice the volume of a given cube) cannot be done using only a straightedge and compass, but Menaechmus showed that the problem can be solved by using the intersections of two parabolas. [cite book |author=Bold B| title = Famous problems of geometry and how to solve them | publisher = Dover Publications | date = 1982 | pages = 29-30 | isbn = 0486242978] Therefore, van Roomen's solution—which uses the intersection of two hyperbolas—did not determine if the problem satisfied the straightedge-and-compass property.
Van Roomen's friend François Viète, who had urged van Roomen to work on Apollonius' problem in the first place, developed a method that used only compass and straightedge.cite book | author = Viète F | year = 1970 | title = Apollonius Gallus. Seu, Exsuscitata Apolloni Pergæi Περι Επαφων Geometria | edition = photographic reproduction of the "Opera Mathematica" (1646), Schooten FA, editor | publisher = Georg Olms | location = New York | pages = pp. 325–346la icon] Prior to Viète's solution, Regiomontanus doubted whether Apollonius' problem could be solved by straightedge and compass.cite book| author = Boyer CB, Merzbach UC | year = 1991 | title = A History of Mathematics | edition= 2nd edition | publisher = John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |isbn=0-471-54397-7| chapter = Apollonius of Perga | pages = p. 322] Viète first solved some simple special cases of Apollonius' problem, such as finding a circle that passes through three given points which has only one solution if the points are distinct; he then built up to solving more complicated special cases, in some cases by shrinking or swelling the given circles. According to the 4th-century report of Pappus of Alexandria, Apollonius' own book on this problem—entitled Επαφαι ("Tangencies", Latin: "De tactionibus", "De contactibus")—followed a similar progressive approach. Hence, Viète's solution is considered to be a plausible reconstruction of Apollonius' solution, although another reconstruction has been published, independently by three different authors.Simson R (1734) "Mathematical Collection", volume VII, p. 117. cite book | author = Zeuthen HG | year = 1886 | title = Die Lehre von den Kegelschnitten im Altertum | publisher = Unknown | location = Copenhagen | pages = pp. 381–383de icon cite book | author = Heath TL | title = A History of Greek Mathematics, Volume II: From Aristarchus to Diophantus | publisher = Clarendon Press | location = Oxford | pages = pp. 181–185, 416–417]
The solution of Adriaan van Roomen (1596) is based on the intersection of two hyperbolas. Let the given circles be denoted as "C"1, "C"2 and "C"3. Van Roomen solved the general problem by solving a simpler problem, that of finding the circles that are tangent to "two" given circles, such as "C"1 and "C"2. He noted that the center of a circle tangent to both given circles must lie on a hyperbola whose foci are the centers of the given circles. To understand this, let the radii of the solution circle and the two given circles be denoted as "r""s", "r""1" and "r""2", respectively (Figure 3). The distance "d"1 between the centers of the solution circle and "C"1 is either "r""s" + "r""1" or "r""s" − "r""1", depending on whether these circles are chosen to be externally or internally tangent, respectively. Similarly, the distance "d"2 between the centers of the solution circle and "C"2 is either "r""s" + "r""2" or "r""s" − "r""2", again depending on their chosen tangency. Thus, the difference "d"1 − "d"2 between these distances is always a constant that is independent of "r""s". This property, of having a fixed difference between the distances to the foci, characterizes hyperbolas, so the possible centers of the solution circle lie on a hyperbola. A second hyperbola can be drawn for the pair of given circles "C"2 and "C"3, where the internal or external tangency of the solution and "C"2 should be chosen consistently with that of the first hyperbola. An intersection of these two hyperbolas (if any) gives the center of a solution circle that has the chosen internal and external tangencies to the three given circles. The full set of solutions to Apollonius' problem can be found by considering all possible combinations of internal and external tangency of the solution circle to the three given circles.
Isaac Newton (1687) refined van Roomen's solution, so that the solution-circle centers were located at the intersections of a line with a circle. Newton formulates Apollonius' problem as a problem in trilateration: to locate a point Z from three given points A, B and C, such that the differences in distances from Z to the three given points have known values. These four points correspond to the center of the solution circle (Z) and the centers of the three given circles (A, B and C).
Instead of solving for the two hyperbolas, Newton constructs their directrix lines instead. For any hyperbola, the ratio of distances from a point Z to a focus A and to the directrix is a fixed constant called the eccentricity. The two directrices intersect at a point T, and from their two known distance ratios, Newton constructs a line passing through T on which Z must lie. However, the ratio of distances TZ/TA is also known; hence, Z also lies on a known circle, since Apollonius had shown that a circle can be defined as the set of points that have a given ratio of distances to two fixed points. (As an aside, this definition is the basis of bipolar coordinates.) Thus, the solutions to Apollonius' problem are the intersections of a line with a circle.
Viète's reconstruction
As described below, Apollonius' problem has ten special cases, depending on the nature of the three given objects, which may be a circle (C), line (L) or point (P). By custom, these ten cases are distinguished by three letter codes such as CCP. Viète solved all ten of these cases using only compass and straightedge constructions, and used the solutions of simpler cases to solve the more complex cases.
Viète began by solving the PPP case (three points) following the method of Euclid in his "Elements". From this, he derived a lemma corresponding to the power of a point theorem, which he used to solve the LPP case (a line and two points). Following Euclid a second time, Viète solved the LLL case (three lines) using the angle bisectors. He then derived a lemma for constructing the line perpendicular to an angle bisector that passes through a point, which he used to solve the LLP problem (two lines and a point). This accounts for the first four cases of Apollonius' problem, those that do not involve circles.
To solve the remaining problems, Viète exploited the fact that the given circles and the solution circle may be re-sized in tandem while preserving their tangencies (Figure 4). If the solution-circle radius is changed by an amount Δ"r", the radius of its internally tangent given circles must be likewise changed by Δ"r", whereas the radius of its externally tangent given circles must be changed by −Δ"r". Thus, as the solution circle swells, the internally tangent given circles must swell in tandem, whereas the externally tangent given circles must shrink, to maintain their tangencies.
Viète used this approach to shrink one of the given circles to a point, thus reducing the problem to a simpler, already solved case. He first solved the CLL case (a circle and two lines) by shrinking the circle into a point, rendering it a LLP case. He then solved the CLP case (a circle, a line and a point) using three lemmas. Again shrinking one circle to a point, Viète transformed the CCL case into a CLP case. He then solved the CPP case (a circle and two points) and the CCP case (two circles and a point), the latter case by two lemmas. Finally, Viète solved the general CCC case (three circles) by shrinking one circle to a point, rendering it a CCP case.
Algebraic solutions
Apollonius' problem can be framed as a system of three equations for the center and radius of the solution circle.cite journal | author = Coaklay GW | year = 1860 | title = Analytical Solutions of the Ten Problems in the Tangencies of Circles; and also of the Fifteen Problems in the Tangencies of Spheres | journal = The Mathematical Monthly | volume = 2 | pages = 116–126] Since the three given circles and any solution circle must lie in the same plane, their positions can be specified in terms of the ("x", "y") coordinates of their centers. For example, the center positions of the three given circles may be written as ("x"1, "y"1), ("x"2, "y"2) and ("x"3, "y"3), whereas that of a solution circle can be written as ("x""s", "y""s"). Similarly, the radii of the given circles and a solution circle can be written as "r"1, "r"2, "r"3 and "r""s", respectively. The requirement that a solution circle must exactly touch each of the three given circles can be expressed as three coupled quadratic equations for "x""s", "y""s" and "r""s":
The three numbers "s"1, "s"2 and "s"3 on the right-hand side, called signs, may equal ±1, and specify whether the desired solution circle should touch the corresponding given circle internally ("s" = 1) or externally ("s" = −1). For example, in Figures 1 and 4, the pink solution is internally tangent to the medium-sized given circle on the right and externally tangent to the smallest and largest given circles on the left; if the given circles are ordered by radius, the signs for this solution are "− + −". Since the three signs may be chosen independently, there are eight possible sets of equations (2 × 2 × 2 = 8), each set corresponding to one of the eight types of solution circles.
The general system of three equations may be solved by the method of resultants. When multiplied out, all three equations have "x""s"2 + "y""s"2 on the left-hand side, and "r""s"2 on the right-hand side. Subtracting one equation from another eliminates these quadratic terms; the remaining linear terms may be re-arranged to yield formulae for the coordinates "x""s" and "y""s"
:x_{s} = M + N r_{s}
:y_{s} = P + Q r_{s}
where "M", "N", "P" and "Q" are known functions of the given circles and the choice of signs. Substitution of these formulae into one of the initial three equations gives a quadratic equation for "r""s", which can be solved by the quadratic formula. Substitution of the numerical value of "r""s" into the linear formulae yields the corresponding values of "x""s" and "y""s".
The signs "s"1, "s"2 and "s"3 on the right-hand sides of the equations may be chosen in eight possible ways, and each choice of signs gives up to two solutions, since the equation for "r""s" is quadratic. This might suggest (incorrectly) that there are up to sixteen solutions of Apollonius' problem. However, due to a symmetry of the equations, if ("r""s", "x""s", "y""s") is a solution, with signs "s""i", then so is (−"r""s", "x""s", "y""s"), with opposite signs −"s""i", which represents the same solution circle. Therefore, Apollonius' problem has at most eight independent solutions (Figure 2). One way to avoid this double-counting is to consider only solution circles with non-negative radius.
The two roots of any quadratic equation may be of three possible types: two different real numbers, two identical real numbers (i.e., a degenerate double root), or a pair of complex conjugate roots. The first case corresponds to the usual situation; each pair of roots corresponds to a pair of solutions that are related by circle inversion, as described below (Figure 6). In the second case, both roots are identical, corresponding to a solution circle that transforms into itself under inversion. In this case, one of the given circles is itself a solution to the Apollonius problem, and the number of distinct solutions is reduced by one. The third case of complex conjugate radii do not correspond to a geometrically possible solution for Apollonius' problem, since a solution circle cannot have an imaginary radius; therefore, the number of solutions is reduced by two. Interestingly, Apollonius' problem cannot have 7 solutions, although it may have any other number of solutions from zero to eight.cite journal | author = Pedoe D | date = 1970 | title = The missing seventh circle | journal = Elemente der Mathematik | volume = 25 | pages = 14–15]
Lie sphere geometry
The same algebraic equations can be derived in the context of Lie sphere geometry.cite journal | author = Zlobec BJ, Kosta NM | year = 2001 | title = Configurations of Cycles and the Apollonius Problem | journal = Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics | volume = 31 | pages = 725–744 | doi = 10.1216/rmjm/1020171586] That geometry represents circles, lines and points in a unified way, as a five-dimensional vector "X" = ("v", "c""x", "c""y", "w", "sr"), where c = ("c""x", "c""y") is the center of the circle, and "r" is its (non-negative) radius. If "r" is not zero, the sign "s" may be positive or negative; for visualization, "s" represents the orientation of the circle, with counterclockwise circles having a positive "s" and clockwise circles having a negative "s". The parameter "w" is zero for a straight line, and one otherwise.
In this five-dimensional world, there is a bilinear product similar to the dot product:
The Lie quadric is defined as those vectors whose product with themselves (their square norm) is zero, ("X"|"X") = 0. Let "X"1 and "X"2 be two vectors belonging to this quadric; the norm of their difference equals
where the vertical bars sandwiching c1 − c2 represent the length of that difference vector, i.e., the Euclidean norm. This formula shows that if two quadric vectors "X"1 and "X"2 are orthogonal (perpendicular) to one another—that is, if ("X"1|"X"2) = 0—then their corresponding circles are tangent. For if the two signs "s"1 and "s"2 are the same (i.e. the circles have the same "orientation"), the circles are internally tangent; the distance between their centers equals the "difference" in the radii
Conversely, if the two signs "s"1 and "s"2 are different (i.e. the circles have opposite "orientations"), the circles are externally tangent; the distance between their centers equals the "sum" of the radii
Therefore, Apollonius' problem can be re-stated in Lie geometry as a problem of finding perpendicular vectors on the Lie quadric; specifically, the goal is to identify solution vectors "X"sol that belong to the Lie quadric and are also orthogonal (perpendicular) to the vectors "X"1, "X"2 and "X"3 corresponding to the given circles.
The advantage of this re-statement is that one can exploit theorems from linear algebra on the maximum number of linearly independent, simultaneously perpendicular vectors. This gives another way to calculate the maximum number of solutions and extend the theorem to higher dimensional spaces.
Inversive methods
A natural setting for problem of Apollonius is inversive geometry. The basic strategy of inversive methods is to transform a given Apollonius problem into another Apollonius problem that is simpler to solve; the solutions to the original problem are found from the solutions of the transformed problem by undoing the transformation. Candidate transformations must change one Apollonius problem into another; therefore, they must transform the given points, circles and lines to other points, circles and lines, and no other shapes. Circle inversion has this property and allows the center and radius of the inversion circle to be chosen judiciously. Other candidates include the Euclidean plane isometries; however, they do not simplify the problem, since they merely shift, rotate, and mirror the original problem.
Inversion in a circle with center O and radius "R" consists of the following operation (Figure 5): every point P is mapped into a new point P' such that O, P, and P' are collinear, and the product of the distances of P and P' to the center O equal the radius "R" squared
:overline{mathbf{OP cdot overline{mathbf{OP^{prime} = R^{2}.
Thus, if P lies outside the circle, then P' lies within, and vice versa. When P is the same as O, the inversion is said to send P to infinity. (In complex analysis, "infinity" is defined in terms of the Riemann sphere.) Inversion has the useful property that lines and circles are always transformed into lines and circles, and points are always transformed into points. Circles are generally transformed into other circles under inversion; however, if a circle passes through the center of the inversion circle, it is transformed into a straight line, and vice versa. Importantly, if a circle crosses the circle of inversion at right angles (intersects perpendicularly), it is left unchanged by the inversion; it is transformed into itself.
Circle inversions correspond to a subset of Möbius transformations on the Riemann sphere. The planar Apollonius problem can be transferred to the sphere by a inverse stereographic projection; hence, solutions of the planar Apollonius problem also pertain to its counterpart on the sphere. Other inversive solutions to the planar problem are possible besides the common ones described below.cite book | author = Salmon G | year = 1879 | title = A Treatise on Conic Sections, Containing an Account of Some of the Most Important Modern Algebraic and Geometric Methods | publisher = Longmans, Green and Co. | location = London | pages = 110–115, 291–292]
Pairs of solutions by inversion
Solutions to Apollonius' problem generally occur in pairs; for each solution circle, there is a conjugate solution circle (Figure 6). One solution circle excludes the given circles that are enclosed by its conjugate solution, and vice versa. For example, in Figure 6, one solution circle (pink, upper left) encloses two given circles (black), but excludes a third; conversely, its conjugate solution (also pink, lower right) encloses that third given circle, but excludes the other two. The two conjugate solution circles are related by inversion, by the following argument.
In general, any three distinct circles have a unique circle—the radical circle—that intersects all of them perpendicularly; the center of that circle is the radical center of the three circles.cite book | title = Geometry Revisited | author = Coxeter HSM, Greitzer SL| year = 1967 | publisher = MAA | location = Washington | isbn = 978-0883856192] For illustration, the orange circle in Figure 6 crosses the black given circles at right angles. Inversion in the radical circle leaves the given circles unchanged, but transforms the two conjugate pink solution circles into one another. Under the same inversion, the corresponding points of tangency of the two solution circles are transformed into one another; for illustration, in Figure 6, the two blue points lying on each green line are transformed into one another. Hence, the lines connecting these conjugate tangent points are invariant under the inversion; therefore, they must pass through the center of inversion, which is the radical center (green lines intersecting at the orange dot in Figure 6).
Inversion to an annulus
If two of the three given circles do not intersect, a center of inversion can be chosen so that those two given circles become concentric. Under this inversion, the solution circles must fall within the annulus between the two concentric circles. Therefore, they belong to two one-parameter families. In the first family (Figure 7), the solutions do "not" enclose the inner concentric circle, but rather revolve like ball bearings in the annulus. In the second family (Figure 8), the solution circles enclose the inner concentric circle. There are generally four solutions for each family, yielding eight possible solutions, consistent with the algebraic solution.
When two of the given circles are concentric, Apollonius' problem can be solved easily using a method of Gauss. The radii of the three given circles are known, as is the distance "d"non from the common concentric center to the non-concentric circle (Figure 7). The solution circle can be determined from its radius "r"s, the angle θ, and the distances "d"s and "d"T from its center to the common concentric center and the center of the non-concentric circle, respectively. The radius and distance "d"s are known (Figure 7), and the distance "d"T = "r"s ± "r"non, depending on whether the solution circle is internally or externally tangent to the non-concentric circle. Therefore, by the law of cosines,
Here, a new constant "C" has been defined for brevity, with the subscript indicating whether the solution is externally or internally tangent. A simple trigonometric rearrangement yields the four solutions
: heta = pm 2 mathrm{atan}left( sqrt{frac{1 - C}{1 + C
ight).
This formula represents four solutions, corresponding to the two choices of the sign of θ, and the two choices for "C". The remaining four solutions can be obtained by the same method, using the substitutions for "r"s and "d"s indicated in Figure 8. Thus, all eight solutions of the general Apollonius problem can be found by this method.
Any initial two disjoint given circles can be rendered concentric as follows. The radical axis of the two given circles is constructed; choosing two arbitrary points P and Q on this radical axis, two circles can be constructed that are centered on P and Q and that intersect the two given circles orthogonally. These two constructed circles intersect each other in two points. Inversion in one such intersection point F renders the constructed circles into straight lines emanating from F and the two given circles into concentric circles, with the third given circle becoming another circle (in general). This follows because the system of circles is equivalent to a set of Apollonian circles, forming a bipolar coordinate system.
Resizing and inversion
The usefulness of inversion can be increased significantly by resizing. As noted in Viète's reconstruction, the three given circles and the solution circle can be resized in tandem while preserving their tangencies. Thus, the initial Apollonius problem is transformed into another problem that may be easier to solve. For example, the four circles can be resized so that one given circle is shrunk to a point; alternatively, two given circles can often be resized so that they are tangent to one another. Thirdly, given circles that intersect can be resized so that they become non-intersecting, after which the method for inverting to an annulus can be applied. In all such cases, the solution of the original Apollonius problem is obtained from the solution of the transformed problem by undoing the resizing and inversion.
hrinking one given circle to a point
In the first approach, the given circles are shrunk or swelled (appropriately to their tangency) until one given circle is shrunk to a point P.cite book | author = Johnson RA | year = 1960 | title = Advanced Euclidean Geometry: An Elementary treatise on the geometry of the Triangle and the Circle | edition = reprint of 1929 edition by Houghton Mifflin | publisher = Dover Publications | location = New York | pages = pp. 117–121 (Apollonius' problem), 121–128 (Casey's and Hart's theorems) | isbn = 978-0486462370] In that case, Apollonius' problem degenerates to the CCP , which is the problem of finding a solution circle tangent to the two remaining given circles that passes through the point P. Inversion in a circle centered on P transforms the two given circles into new circles, and the solution circle into a line. Therefore, the transformed solution is a line that is tangent to the two transformed given circles. There are four such solution lines, which may be constructed from the external and internal homothetic centers of the two circles. Re-inversion in P and undoing the resizing transforms such a solution line into the desired solution circle of the original Apollonius problem. All eight general solutions can be obtained by shrinking and swelling the circles according to the differing internal and external tangencies of each solution; however, different given circles may be shrunk to a point for different solutions.
Resizing two given circles to tangency
In the second approach, the radii of the given circles are modified appropriately by an amount Δ"r" so that two of them are tangential (touching).cite book | author = Ogilvy CS |year = 1990 | title = Excursions in Geometry | publisher = Dover | isbn = 0-486-26530-7 | pages = pp. 48–51 (Apollonius' problem), 60 (extension to tangent spheres)] Their point of tangency is chosen as the center of inversion in a circle that intersects each of the two touching circles in two places. Upon inversion, the touching circles become two parallel lines: Their only point of intersection is sent to infinity under inversion, so they cannot meet. The same inversion transforms the third circle into another circle. The solution of the inverted problem must either be (1) a straight line parallel to the two given parallel lines and tangent to the transformed third given circle; or (2) a circle of constant radius that is tangent to the two given parallel lines and the transformed given circle. Re-inversion and adjusting the radii of all circles by Δ"r" produces a solution circle tangent to the original three circles.
Gergonne's solution
Gergonne's approach is to consider the solution circles in pairs. Let a pair of solution circles be denoted as "C"A and "C"B (the pink and black circles in Figure 6), and let their tangent points with the three given circles be denoted as A1, A2, A3, and B1, B2, B3, respectively. Gergonne's solution aims to locate these six points, and thus solve for the two solution circles.
Gergonne's insight was that if a line "L"1 could be constructed such that A1 and B1 were guaranteed to fall on it, those two points could be identified as the intersection points of "L"1 with the given circle "C"1 (Figure 6). The remaining four tangent points would be located similarly, by finding lines "L"2 and "L"3 that contained A2 and B2, and A3 and B3, respectively. To construct a line such as "L"1, two points must be identified that lie on it; but these points need not be the tangent points. Gergonne was able to identify two other points for each of the three lines. One of the two points has already been identified: the radical centerG lies on all three lines (Figure 6).
To locate a second point on the lines "L"1, "L"2 and "L"3, Gergonne noted a reciprocal relationship between those lines and the radical axis "R" of the solution circles, "C"A and "C"B. To understand this reciprocal relationship, consider the two tangent lines to the circle "C"1 drawn at its tangent points A1 and B1 with the solution circles; the intersection of these tangent lines is the pole point of "L"1 in "C"1. Since the distances from that pole point to the tangent points A1 and B1 are equal, this pole point must also lie on the radical axis "R" of the solution circles, by definition (Figure 9). The relationship between pole points and their polar lines is reciprocal; if the pole of "L"1 in "C"1 lies on "R", the pole of "R" in "C"1 must conversely lie on "L"1. Thus, if we can construct "R", we can find its pole P1 in "C"1, giving the needed second point on "L"1 (Figure 10).
Gergonne found the radical axis "R" of the unknown solution circles as follows. Any pair of circles has two centers of similarity; these two points are the two possible intersections of two tangent lines to the two circles. Therefore, the three given circles have six centers of similarity, two for each distinct pair of given circles. Remarkably, these six points lie on four lines, three points on each line; moreover, each line corresponds to the radical axis of a potential pair of solution circles. To show this, Gergonne considered lines through corresponding points of tangency on two of the given circles, e.g., the line defined by A1/A2 and the line defined by B1/B2. Let X3 be a center of similitude for the two circles "C"1 and "C"2; then, A1/A2 and B1/B2 are pairs of antihomologous points, and their lines intersect at X3. It follows, therefore, that the products of distances are equal
which implies that X3 lies on the radical axis of the two solution circles. The same argument can be applied to the other pairs of circles, so that three centers of similitude for the given three circles must lie on the radical axes of pairs of solution circles.
In summary, the desired line "L"1 is defined by two points: the radical center G of the three given circles and the pole in "C"1 of one of the four lines connecting the homothetic centers. Finding the same pole in "C"2 and "C"3 gives "L"2 and "L"3, respectively; thus, all six points can be located, from which one pair of solution circles can be found. Repeating this procedure for the remaining three homothetic-center lines yields six more solutions, giving eight solutions in all. However, if a line "L""k" does not intersect its circle "C""k" for some "k", there is no pair of solutions for that homothetic-center line.
pecial cases
Ten combinations of points, circles and lines
Apollonius problem is to construct one or more circles tangent to three given objects in a plane, which may be circles, points or lines. This gives rise to ten types of Apollonius' problem, one corresponding to each combination of circles, lines and points, which may be labeled with three letters, either C, L or P, to denote whether the given elements are a circle, line or point, respectively (Table 1). As an example, the type of Apollonius problem with a given circle, line and point is denoted as CLP.
Some of these special cases are much easier to solve than the general case of three given circles. The two simplest cases are the problems of drawing a circle through three given points (PPP) or tangent to three lines (LLL), which were solved first by Euclid in his "Elements". For example, the PPP problem can be solved as follows. The center of the solution circle is equally distant from all three points, and therefore must lie on the perpendicular bisector line of any two. Hence, the center is the point of intersection of any two perpendicular bisectors. Similarly, in the LLL case, the center must lie on a line bisecting the angle at the three intersection points between the three given lines; hence, the center lies at the intersection point of two such angle bisectors. Since there are two such bisectors at every intersection point of the three given lines, there are four solutions to the general LLL problem.
Points and lines may be viewed as special cases of circles; a point can be considered as a circle of infinitely small radius, and a line may be thought of an infinitely large circle whose center is also at infinity. From this perspective, the general Apollonius problem is that of constructing circles tangent to three given circles. The nine other cases involving points and lines may be viewed as limiting cases of the general problem.cite book | author = Altshiller-Court N | year = 1952 | title = College Geometry: An Introduction to the Modern Geometry of the Triangle and the Circle | edition = 2nd edition, revised and enlarged | publisher = Barnes and Noble | location = New York | pages = 222–227 | isbn = 978-0486458052 cite book | author = Hartshorne, Robin | year = 2000 | title = Geometry: Euclid and Beyond | publisher = Springer Verlag | location = New York |isbn= 978-0387986500 |pages= pp. 346–355, 496, 499 cite book | author = Rouché, Eugène |coauthors= Ch de Comberousse |year = 1883 | title = Traité de géométrie | edition = 5th edition, revised and augmented |publisher= Gauthier-Villars |location = Paris | pages = pp. 252–256 |oclc= 252013267 fr icon] These limiting cases often have fewer solutions than the general problem; for example, the replacement of a given circle by a given point halves the number of solutions, since a point can be construed as an infinitesimal circle that is either internally or externally tangent.
Number of solutions
The problem of counting the number of solutions to different types of Apollonius' problem belongs to the field of enumerative geometry.cite journal|journal=Acta Mathematica Universitatis Comenianae|volume=68|issue=1|year=1999|pages=37–47|title=Apollonius' contact problem in "n"-space in view of enumerative geometry|author = Dreschler K, Sterz U|url= The general number of solutions for each of the ten types of Apollonius' problem is given in Table 1 above. However, special arrangements of the given elements may change the number of solutions. For illustration, Apollonius' problem has no solution if one circle separates the two (Figure 11); to touch both the solid given circles, the solution circle would have to cross the dashed given circle; but that it cannot do, if it is to touch the dashed circle tangentially. Conversely, if three given circles are all tangent at the same point, then "any" circle tangent at the same point is a solution; such Apollonius problems have an infinite number of solutions. If any of the given circles are identical, there is likewise an infinity of solutions. If only two given circles are identical, there are only two distinct given circles; the centers of the solution circles form a hyperbola, as used in one solution to Apollonius' problem.
An exhaustive enumeration of the number of solutions for all possible configurations of three given circles, points or lines was first undertaken by Muirhead in 1896,cite journal| author = Muirhead RF | year = 1896 | title = On the Number and nature of the Solutions of the Apollonian Contact Problem | journal = Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society | volume = 14 | pages = 135–147, attached figures 44–114] although earlier work had been done by Stollcite journal | author = Stoll V | year = 1876 | title = Zum Problem des Apollonius | journal = Mathematische Annalen | volume = 6 | pages = 613–632 | doi = 10.1007/BF01443201de icon] and Study.cite journal | author = Study E | year = 1897 | title = Das Apollonische Problem | journal = Mathematische Annalen | volume = 49 | pages = 497–542 | doi = 10.1007/BF01444366de icon] However, Muirhead's work was incomplete; it was extended in 1974cite journal | author = Fitz-Gerald JM | year = 1974 | title = A Note on a Problem of Apollonius | journal = Journal of Geometry | volume = 5 | pages = 15–26 | doi = 10.1007/BF01954533] and a definitive enumeration was published in 1983.cite journal | author = Bruen A, Fisher JC, Wilker JB | year = 1983 | title = Apollonius by Inversion | journal = Mathematics Magazine | volume = 56 | pages = 97–103] Although solutions to Apollonius' problem generally occur in pairs related by inversion, an odd number of solutions is possible in some cases, e.g., the single solution for PPP, or when one or three of the given circles are themselves solutions. (An example of the latter is given in the on Descartes' theorem.) However, there are no Apollonius problems with seven solutions.

If the three given circles are mutually tangent, Apollonius' problem has five solutions. Three solutions are the given circles themselves, since each is tangent to itself and to the other two given circles. The remaining two solutions (shown in red in Figure 12) correspond to the inscribed and circumscribed circles, and are called "Soddy's circles". [cite journal | author = Eppstein D | year = 2001 | title = Tangent Spheres and Triangle Centers | journal = The American Mathematical Monthly | volume = 108 | pages = 63–66 | doi = 10.2307/2695679] This special case of Apollonius' problem is also known as the four coins problem.

Weisstein|author= Weisstein, EW| title = Four Coins Problem | url = | publisher = MathWorld | accessdate = 2008-10-06 ] The three given circles of this Apollonius problem form a Steiner chain tangent to the two Soddy's circles.
Either Soddy circle, when taken together with the three given circles, produces a set of four circles that are mutually tangent at six points. The radii of these four circles are related by an equation known as Descartes' theorem. In a 1643 letter to Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia, [Descartes R, "Œuvres de Descartes, Correspondance IV", (C. Adam and P. Tannery, Eds.), Paris: Leopold Cert 1901. fr icon] René Descartes showed that
where "k""s" = 1/"r""s" and "r""s" are the curvature and radius of the solution circle, respectively, and similarly for the curvatures "k"1, "k"2 and "k"3 and radii "r"1, "r"2 and "r"3 of the three given circles. For every set of four mutually tangent circles, there is a second set of four mutually tangent circles that are tangent at the same six points.

Apollonius' problem can be extended to construct all the circles that intersect three given circles at a precise angle θ, or at three specified crossing angles θ1, θ2 and θ3; the ordinary Apollonius' problem corresponds to a special case in which the crossing angle is zero for all three given circles. Another generalization is the dual of the first extension, namely, to construct circles with three specified tangential distances from the three given circles.
Apollonius' problem can be extended from the plane to the sphere and other quadratic surfaces. For the sphere, the problem is to construct all the circles (the boundaries of spherical caps) that are tangent to three given circles on the sphere.cite book | author = Carnot L | year = 1803 | title = Géométrie de position | publisher = Unknown publisher | location = Paris | pages = p. 415, §356] cite journal | author = Vannson | year = 1855 | title = Contact des cercles sur la sphère, par la geométrie | journal = Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques | volume = XIV | pages = 55–71fr icon] This spherical problem can be rendered into a corresponding planar problem using stereographic projection. Once the solutions to the planar problem have been constructed, the corresponding solutions to the spherical problem can be determined by inverting the stereographic projection. Even more generally, one can consider the problem of four tangent curves that result from the intersections of an arbitrary quadratic surface and four planes, a problem first considered by Charles Dupin.
Apollonius' problem can even be extended to "d" dimensions, to construct the hyperspheres tangent to a given set of "d" + 1 hyperspheres. Following the publication of Frederick Soddy's re-derivation of the Descartes theorem in 1936, several people solved (independently) the mutually tangent case corresponding to Soddy's circles in "d" dimensions.cite journal | author = Gossett T | year = 1937 | title = The Kiss Precise | journal = Nature | volume = 139 | pages = 62 | doi = 10.1038/139062a0]
Applications
The principal application of Apollonius' problem and its generalizations to higher dimensions is trilateration, which seeks to determine a position from the "differences" in distances to at least three points. For example, a ship may seek to determine its position from the differences in arrival times of signals from three synchronized transmitters; conversely, the location of a homing beacon may be determined from the difference in arrival times of its signals at three receiving stations. Trilateration is equivalent to Apollonius' problem, as formulated by Isaac Newton: to determine a point in a plane from its distances to three known points, or to determine a point in space from its distances to four known points. Solutions to Apollonius' problem were used for trilateration in World War I to determine the positions of artillery pieces from the time required to hear the sound of the gun firing at three different positions. Trilateration is a key component of modern navigational systems such as GPScite journal | author = Hoshen J | year = 1996 | title = The GPS Equations and the Problem of Apollonius | journal = IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems | volume = 32 | pages = 1116–1124 | doi = 10.1109/7.532270] and the earlier LORAN and Decca Navigator System.cite journal | author = Schmidt, RO | year = 1972 | title = A new approach to geometry of range difference location | journal = IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems | volume = AES-8 | pages = 821–835 | doi = 10.1109/TAES.1972.309614] Trilateration is also used to determine the position of calling animals (such as birds and whales), although Apollonius' problem does not pertain if the speed of sound varies with direction (i.e., the transmission medium not isotropic).Principia", Isaac Newton used his solution of Apollonius' problem to construct an orbit in celestial mechanics from the center of attraction and observations of tangent lines to the orbit corresponding to instantaneous velocity. The special case of the problem of Apollonius when all three circles are tangent is used in the Hardy–Littlewood circle method of analytic number theory to construct Hans Rademacher's contour for complex integration, given by the boundaries of an infinite set of Ford circles each of which touches several others.

Tips For Analyzing Answers For Name That Circle Part Questions
Introduction
Have you ever played a game or taken a quiz where you have to name different parts of a circle? It can be challenging to come up with the correct answers, especially if you haven't studied geometry in a while. In this article, we will provide you with some useful tips for analyzing answers for name that circle part questions.
Understand the Basic Parts of a Circle
Before we dive into the tips, it's essential to understand the basic parts of a circle. A circle is a shape that has no corners or edges. It is made up of a curved line that is the same distance from the center point. The center point is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle's edge. The radius is the distance from the center point to any point on the circle's edge. The diameter is the distance across the circle, passing through the center point.
Tip 1: Look for Clues in the Question
When you're trying to name a circle part, the question may provide you with clues. For example, if the question asks for the part that is the same distance from all points on the circle's edge, the answer is the center point. If the question asks for the distance across the circle, the answer is the diameter. Try to read the question carefully and look for any clues that may help you.
Tip 2: Use Visual Aids
Sometimes, it can be easier to understand the different parts of a circle by looking at a visual aid. You can find many diagrams and illustrations online that show the different parts of a circle. If you're struggling to understand a question, try to draw a circle and label the different parts. This can help you visualize the answer.
Tip 3: Practice, Practice, Practice
Like with anything, practice makes perfect. The more you practice naming circle parts, the easier it will become. You can find many online quizzes and games that will help you practice. Try to set aside some time each day to practice, and soon you'll be an expert at naming circle parts.
Tip 4: Break the Question Down
If you're struggling to answer a question, try to break it down into smaller parts. For example, if the question asks for the distance from the center point to any point on the circle's edge, you can break it down into two parts: the center point and the edge. Then, you can think about what connects the two parts - the radius.
Tip 5: Use Formulas
There are many formulas that you can use to calculate different parts of a circle. For example, the formula for the circumference is C = 2πr, where r is the radius. If you're struggling to answer a question, try to think about which formula may be useful. You can find many formulas online that will help you.
Tip 6: Don't Overthink it
Sometimes, the answer to a question is straightforward, and you may be overthinking it. Try to stay calm and approach the question logically. If you're not sure of the answer, take a deep breath and try to think about it logically.
Tip 7: Check Your Answer
Always double-check your answer before submitting it. Make sure that you've answered the question correctly and that you've labeled the parts of the circle correctly. If you're not sure if your answer is correct, ask someone for help or look it up online.
Tip 8: Practice Mental Math
Sometimes, you may need to do some mental math to answer a question. For example, if the question asks for the circumference, you may need to multiply the radius by 2π in your head. Try to practice mental math each day to make it easier.
Conclusion
Naming circle parts can be challenging, but with practice and these tips, you'll be an expert in no time. Remember to read the question carefully, use visual aids, practice, break the question down, use formulas, don't overthink it, check your answer, and practice mental math. With these tips, you'll be able to answer any name that circle part question with ease. | 677.169 | 1 |

An isosceles triangle is defined as a triangle that has two sides of equal measure. An isosceles triangle with a right angle is known as an isosceles right triangle. We will be studying the properties and formulas of the isosceles right triangle along with examples in this article.
What is Isosceles Right Triangle?
An isosceles right triangle is defined as a right-angled triangle with an equal base and height which are also known as the legs of the triangle. It is a special isosceles triangle with one angle being a right angle and the other two angles are congruent as the angles are opposite to the equal sides. It is also known as a right-angled isosceles triangle or a right isosceles triangle. The area of an isosceles right triangle follows the general formula of the area of a triangle where the base and height are the two equal sides of the triangle. Let's look into the image of an isosceles right triangle shown below. If the congruent sides measure x units each, then the hypotenuse or the unequal side of the triangle will measure x√2 units.
Isosceles Right Triangle Hypotenuse
The hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle is the side opposite to the 90-degree angle. It is √2 times the length of the equal side of the triangle. So, if the measurement of each of the equal sides is x units, then the length of the hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle is x√2 units. It is derived using the Pythagoras theorem which you will learn in the section below.
Isosceles Right Triangle Properties
Isosceles right triangle follows almost similar properties to an isosceles triangle. Let's look into the list of properties followed by the isosceles right triangle.
It has one angle measuring 90º.
The legs of this triangle are perpendicular to each other which are also known as the base and the height.
The other two angles of an isosceles right triangle are acute and congruent to each other measuring 45° each.
The sum of all the interior angles is equal to 180°.
The altitude drawn from the right angle is the perpendicular bisector of the hypotenuse (opposite side).
The area of an isosceles right triangle is given as (1/2) × Base × Height square units.
Isosceles Right Triangle Formula
Isosceles right triangle follows the Pythagoras theorem to give the relationship between the hypotenuse and the equal sides. Let's look into the diagram below to understand the isosceles right triangle formula.
Perimeter of Isosceles Right Triangle Formula
The perimeter of an isosceles right triangle is defined as the sum of all three sides. In ∆PQR shown above with side lengths PQ = QR = x units and PR = l units, perimeter of isosceles right triangle formula is given by PQ + QR + PR = x + x + l = (2x + l) units.
Thus, the perimeter of the isosceles right triangle formula is 2x + l, where x represents the congruent side length and l represents the hypotenuse length.
Isosceles Right Triangle Area
The area of isosceles right triangle follows the general formula of area of a triangle that is (1/2) × Base × Height. In ∆PQR shown above with side lengths PQ = QR = x where PQ represents the height and QR represents the base, the area of isosceles right triangle formula is given by 1/2 × PQ × QR = x2/2 square units.
Thus, the area of the isosceles right triangle formula is x2/2, where x represents the congruent side length.

Solution: For an isosceles right triangle, the area formula is given by x2/2 where x is the length of the congruent sides.
Here, x = 8 units
Thus, Area = 82/2 = 32 square units
Therefore, the required area is 32 square units.
Example 2: The perimeter of an isosceles right triangle is 10 + 5√2. If the non-congruent side measures 5√2 units then, find the measure of the congruent sides.
Solution: For a right isosceles triangle, the perimeter formula is given by 2x + l where x is the congruent side length and l is the length of the hypotenuse.
Here, l = 5√2 units, Perimeter = 10 + 5√2 units
By using the formula,
2x + l = 10 + 5√2
2x = 10 [Since, l = 5√2]
Thus, x = 5 units
Hence, the length of each congruent side is 5 units.
Example 3: If the isosceles right triangle area is 200 square inches, find the length of the equal sides.
Solution: The right isosceles triangle area formula is x2/2 square units, where x is the length of each equal side. Substituting the given value of area, we get,
200 = x2/2
400 = x2
x = 20
Therefore, the length of each congruent side is 20 inches.

Draw a vector from the cone vertex to the point and compute the angle of this vector to the cone's axis. If the angle is less than the angular width of the cone, then the point is inside the cone. This assumes that the cone is not of finite length.

I don't know how you are parametrizing the cone. Ideally you would have the vertex, the cone angle, and the direction vector of the cone's axis. Without loss of generality, assume the vertex is at the origin (you can always shift your coordinate system to achieve this). Then the position vector of your query point needs to form an acute angle with respect to the direction vector of the cone's axis. | 677.169 | 1 |

The Power of "2 cos a cos b": Exploring the Mathematics Behind It
Mathematics is a fascinating subject that encompasses a wide range of concepts and formulas. One such formula that often piques the interest of mathematicians and students alike is the expression "2 cos a cos b." In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of this formula, exploring its applications, properties, and significance in various mathematical contexts.
Understanding the Basics: Cosine Function
Before we dive into the specifics of "2 cos a cos b," let's first establish a solid foundation by understanding the cosine function. The cosine function, denoted as cos(x), is a fundamental trigonometric function that relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
The cosine function oscillates between -1 and 1, depending on the value of the angle. It is a periodic function with a period of 2π, meaning it repeats itself every 2π radians or 360 degrees. The graph of the cosine function is a smooth curve that exhibits symmetry about the y-axis.
Introducing the "2 cos a cos b" Formula
Now that we have a solid understanding of the cosine function, let's explore the formula "2 cos a cos b" in detail. This expression represents the product of two cosine functions, each with its own angle.
The formula can be written as:
2 cos a cos b
Here, 'a' and 'b' represent the angles in radians or degrees. By multiplying the cosine values of two different angles, we obtain a new value that carries its own significance and applications.
Applications and Significance
The "2 cos a cos b" formula finds applications in various branches of mathematics, physics, and engineering. Let's explore some of its key applications:
1. Trigonometric Identities
The formula "2 cos a cos b" is often used in trigonometric identities to simplify complex expressions. By applying trigonometric identities such as the double-angle identity, we can transform the formula into a more manageable form.
For example, using the double-angle identity for cosine, we can rewrite the formula as:
2 cos a cos b = cos(a + b) + cos(a – b)
This identity allows us to express the product of two cosine functions as the sum of two cosine functions with different angles. This simplification can be extremely useful in solving trigonometric equations and proving various mathematical theorems.
2. Harmonic Analysis
In the field of harmonic analysis, the "2 cos a cos b" formula plays a crucial role. Harmonic analysis deals with the study of periodic functions and their representation as a sum of simpler periodic functions, known as harmonics.
The formula "2 cos a cos b" helps in decomposing complex periodic functions into simpler cosine functions. By determining the coefficients of these simpler cosine functions, we can analyze and understand the behavior of the original function more effectively.
3. Signal Processing
Signal processing is another area where the "2 cos a cos b" formula finds extensive use. In signal processing, signals are often represented as a sum of sinusoidal functions, which can be expressed using the cosine function.
By applying the "2 cos a cos b" formula, we can analyze and manipulate signals to extract valuable information. This is particularly useful in fields such as telecommunications, audio processing, and image processing.
Properties of "2 cos a cos b"
Now that we have explored the applications of the "2 cos a cos b" formula, let's discuss some of its key properties:
1. Symmetry
The "2 cos a cos b" formula exhibits symmetry about the y-axis. This means that if we replace 'a' with '-a' and 'b' with '-b', the value of the formula remains the same.
Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
2 cos (-a) cos (-b) = 2 cos a cos b
2. Periodicity
Similar to the cosine function, the "2 cos a cos b" formula is also periodic. Its period depends on the values of 'a' and 'b'.
If 'a' and 'b' are both multiples of π, the formula has a period of 2π. However, if 'a' and 'b' are not multiples of π, the formula has a period of 2π divided by the greatest common divisor of 'a' and 'b'.
3. Amplitude
The amplitude of the "2 cos a cos b" formula depends on the values of 'a' and 'b'. The maximum value of the formula is 2, while the minimum value is -2.
The amplitude can be calculated using the following formula:
Amplitude = |2 cos a cos b|
Examples and Case Studies
To further illustrate the applications and properties of the "2 cos a cos b" formula, let's consider a few examples and case studies:
Example 1: Trigonometric Identity
Suppose we have the expression "2 cos 30° cos 60°." Using the double-angle identity for cosine, we can rewrite this expression as: | 677.169 | 1 |

Problem of the Week
Problem E and Solution
Now I Know My ABCs
Problem
In triangle \(ABC\), point \(P\) lies on \(AB\), point \(Q\) lies on \(BC\), and point \(R\) lies on \(AC\) such that \(AQ\), \(BR\), and \(CP\) are altitudes with lengths \(21\) cm, \(24\) cm, and \(56\) cm, respectively.
Determine the measure, in degrees, of \(\angle ABC\), and the lengths, in centimetres, of \(AB\), \(BC\), and \(CA\).
Note the diagram is not drawn to scale.
Solution
Let \(BC=a\), \(AC=b\), and \(AB=c\). We will present two methods for determining that \(21a=24b=56c\), and then continue on with the rest of the solution.
Method 1: Use Areas
We can find the area of \(\triangle ABC\) by multiplying the length of the altitude (the height) by the corresponding base and dividing by 2. Therefore, \[\frac{AQ\times BC}{2}=\frac{BR\times AC}{2}=\frac{CP\times AB}{2}\] Substituting \(AQ=21\), \(BR=24\), and \(CP=56\), and multiplying through by \(2\) gives us \(21a=24b=56c\).
From \(21a=24b\) we obtain \(b=\frac{21}{24}a=\frac{7}{8}a\), and from \(21a=56c\) we obtain \(c=\frac{21}{56}a=\frac{3}{8}a\).
The ratio of the sides in \(\triangle ABC\) is therefore \(a:b:c=a:\frac{7}{8}a:\frac{3}{8}a=8:7:3\). Let \(BC=8x\), \(AC=7x\), and \(AB=3x\), where \(x>0\). | 677.169 | 1 |

Many explorers used different devices to help them navigate during their exploration. Explores used a device called an astrolabe which was used to figure out latitude at sea. They also used a something called a sextant. Sextants aided sailors and explorers with navigation. They help calculate the distance between the horizon and celestial bodies, like stars and planets. The calculations could then be used to establish how far north or south a person is standing. Explorers also used a magnetic compass. The magnetic compass was an important advance in navigation because it allowed explorers to determine their direction even if clouds concealed their usual astronomical cues such as the North Star. It uses a magnetic needle that can turn freely so that it always points to the north pole of the Earth's magnetic field. Many more devices helped explorers navigate when they were exploring, but

Students will have the opportunity to construct viable arguments and attend to precision as they plan and create their monuments. Teachers will guide students and provide feedback with targeted questions and prompting support.
Referring to the Common Core Appendix A and Attachment H and I we can analyze the quality dimensions of text complexity and reader and task considerations. The vocabulary words in the chapter have a single level of meaning with an explicitly stated purpose. The words listed such as needle leaf tree, county, and lines of latitude and longitude are clearly defined within the chapter using words that can be easily understood by 4th graders (see Attachment H for full listing). The dimension of structure found on the Common Core Appendix A, figure 2, discusses the use of graphics within the text. Our chapter use graphics such as maps, charts, real life pictures, and graphs to deepen the reader's understanding of the content. After reviewing our graphics, we conclude that they are simple and easy to read because the students have most likely seen maps before. If a map does zoom in on a particular area, it includes a caption to describe what the students are looking at. The real life pictures are supplementary to the text, as they are not required to understand the material. We found that most of the maps and charts are essential to the chapter because they extend the reader's knowledge and can help to solidify any misunderstandings. | 677.169 | 1 |
Pythagorean Theorem Worksheets
What is the Pythagorean Theorem?
Pythagorean theorem describes the relation between the sides of a right-angled triangle. The Pythagorean formula is applied on a right-angled triangle and is used to determine the hypotenuse, base and the perpendicular of the triangle.
The theorem states that: "In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the squares of the perpendicular side and the base side."
The hypotenuse is the longest side, and perpendicular is the side opposite to the hypotenuse side.
Consider the triangle above, where a is the perpendicular side, b is the base side, and c is the hypotenuse. According to the definition of the Pythagorean theorem, the formula would be written as:
c2 = a2 + b2.
Demonstrates the concept of advanced skill while solving Pythagorean Theorem. A square with sides of 40 feet.
What is the shortest distance between two opposite vertices?
Here we have AB = 40 and BC = 40.
A really great activity for allowing students to understand the concepts
of the Pythagorean Theorem. Example: Princess Marie is locked in the tower of a castle. Tim volunteered to
rescue the princess. If the tower window is 480 feet above the ground
and you must place your ladder 31 feet from the base of the castle
(because of the moat), what is the shortest length ladder, to the
nearest foot, you will need to reach the princess?
The Fork?
On your way to El Dorado you come to a fork in the road.
There are 2 men there; one man tells the truth, the other lies. What question
can you ask to assure that you reach the gold? Ask either of the men "Would
he say this is the way to El Dorado?" It is the right path if the man answers
"no". | 677.169 | 1 |
A reflection of a line is a mirror image if the line positioned relative to itself. Line reflections do not just happen to lines, they also happen to geometric figures. All the points between the starting shape and its reflection are the same distance away. A reflection will also result in geometric structures that have all the angles the same and they remain parallel.
The exact location of a line of reflection is in between two corresponding mirror images so that the distance of a single image at any point is similar to the line as the same point on the other flipped object.
We use lines of reflections to solve the questions of geometry, art classes and these lines also leveraging multiple fields like painting, landscaping, and engineering.
Place a point or dot on one object - Place a dot on the accurate location in another image. For example;
You place the dot at the upper most angle of a triangle, when you have mirror image two triangles.
Calculate the distance between the two dots with a ruler - If you want to halfway point, divide the rate of distance by 2 and mark its presence by a small dot. By repeating the old steps, you can find at least two more halfway points between the two imageries.
Line of Reflection with a ruler - Draw a straight line and join all three points that you marked half day location. You can correct all your estimations so that line will be a line of reflection.
These worksheets explain how to determine if the reflection image of a figure is the same. I always like to start this unit by asking students to look at everyday objects in mirrors. It is really helpful for them. | 677.169 | 1 |

Right-angled trapezoid
Right-angled trapezoid is a plane figure composed of four straight line segments and four
interior angles, totaling, 360 degrees, two of them necessarily of 90 degrees.
The straight lines segment, not parallel, are called sides or legs, while the two parallel segments are called bases, one short and the other long.
Like, any trapezium, the right-angled trapezoid has as follow:
a) Area;
b) Perimeter: sum of the lengths of the bases and sides;
c) Altitude: perpendicular distance from the base to the other;
d) Median: line joining the midpoints of two sides;
e) Diagonal: straight line segment that connect the vertices of the opposite angles.
To calculate the elements of the right-angled trapezoid, enter the two bases, and one of the two sides. Use the point as decimal separator. Ex 1,300.34

A trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) has two parallel sides.
The more common definition is a four-sided figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, figures with two sets of parallel sides such as a rectangle are nottrapezoids.
Some mathematicians use a more general definition that allows for one or more pair of parallel sides. By this definition, a rectangle, square, or rhombus would be considered as special cases of a trapezoid. | 677.169 | 1 |

How to Use the Pythagorean Theorem to Solve Problems: Lesson 6 Homework Practice Answer Key
The Pythagorean theorem is a mathematical formula that relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The formula can be written as:
c = a + b
where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the other two sides.
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the missing length of any side of a right triangle, as long as you know the lengths of the other two sides. You can also use it to check if a triangle is right or not, by plugging in the lengths of the sides and seeing if the equation holds true.
In this article, we will show you how to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve some common problems that you might encounter in your homework or in real life. We will also provide you with an answer key for lesson 6 homework practice, where you can check your answers and see how to work out each problem step by step.
Problem 1: Finding the Hypotenuse
One of the most basic applications of the Pythagorean theorem is finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, given the lengths of the other two sides. For example, suppose you have a right triangle with sides of 3 cm and 4 cm. How long is the hypotenuse
To solve this problem, you need to plug in the values of a and b into the Pythagorean theorem, and then solve for c. Here are the steps:
Write down the formula: c = a + b
Substitute the values of a and b: c = 3 + 4
Simplify: c = 9 + 16
Add: c = 25
Take the square root of both sides: c = â25
Simplify: c = 5
The answer is 5 cm. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5 cm long.
Problem 2: Finding a Missing Side
You can also use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of one of the shorter sides of a right triangle, given the lengths of the hypotenuse and the other side. For example, suppose you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 13 cm and one side of 5 cm. How long is the other side
To solve this problem, you need to plug in the values of c and one of a or b into the Pythagorean theorem, and then solve for the other one. Here are the steps: | 677.169 | 1 |

45 45 90 Triangle
A right triangle (a triangle with one 90-degree angle) with two 45-degree angles is known as a 45-45-90 triangle. Due to its distinctive qualities, this particular kind of right triangle is important in geometry and mathematics.
A 45-45-90 triangle has the characteristic that the ratio of the lengths of the sides is always 1:1:√2. In other words, if one of the triangle's sides, or its "leg," is "a," then its other leg is also "a," and its hypotenuse, or the side that faces the right angle, is "√2a."
Each of the triangle's three angles measures 45 degrees, which is another aspect of a 45-45-90 triangle. Therefore, this triangle is always an isosceles triangle (a triangle that has two sides of equal length).
An isosceles right triangle or a 45-degree right triangle are just other names for a 45-45-90 triangle. It can be used to resolve problems involving right triangles and to derive other significant mathematical relationships, making it a useful shape in mathematics
In the case of a 45-45-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse can be resolved by using the Pythagorean theorem (a2 + b2 = c2) if the leg lengths are known. To find the hypotenuse's length, the theorem can be rearranged as follows: c = √(a2 + b2). The theorem becomes c = √(2a2) = √2a because the legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are equal in length (a = b). This demonstrates that the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle is approximately √2 as long as each leg.
Find the hypotenuse's length for a triangle with sides of length 6 and an angle of 45°-45°-90°.
To find the length of the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle with sides of length 6, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle measuring 45, 45, and 90 degrees and with sides of length 6.
The Pythagorean theorem mentions that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side that is opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (the legs). You can write this as a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
In a 45-45-90 triangle, the two legs are always equal in length, so you can let a = b = 6. Plugging these values into the Pythagorean theorem gives you:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 6^2 = c^2
36 + 36 = c^2
72 = c^2
To determine the value of c, take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(72) = √(c^2)
8.485281374238571 = c
Therefore, the hypotenuse of a triangle measuring 45, 45, and 90 with sides of length 6 is about 8.49 units long. | 677.169 | 1 |

Question 1. The projections of a directed line segment on the coordinate axes are 12, 4, 3. The DCS of the line are (a) 12/13, -4/13, 3/13 (b) -12/13, -4/13, 3/13 (c) 12/13, 4/13, 3/13 (d) None of these
Question 4. The locus of a point P(x, y, z) which moves in such a way that x = a and y = b, is a (a) Plane parallel to xy-plane (b) Line parallel to x-axis (c) Line parallel to y-axis (d) Line parallel to z-axis
Answer
Answer: (b) Line parallel to x-axis Since x = 0 and y = 0 together represent x-axis, therefore x = a and y = b represent a line parallel to x-axis.
Question 8. If P is a point in space such that OP = 12 and OP inclined at angles 45 and 60 degrees with OX and OY respectively, then the position vector of P is (a) 6i + 6j ± 6√2k (b) 6i + 6√2j ± 6k (c) 6√2i + 6j ± 6k (d) None of these
Question 10. There is one and only one sphere through (a) 4 points not in the same plane (b) 4 points not lie in the same straight line (c) none of these (d) 3 points not lie in the same line
Answer
Answer: (a) 4 points not in the same plane Sphere is referred to its center and it follows a quadratic equation with 2 roots. The mid-point of chords of a sphere and parallel to fixed direction lies in the normal diametrical plane. Now, general equation of the plane depends on 4 constants. So, one sphere passes through 4 points and they need not be in the same plane.

You already know how to find the area of a parallogram.
Now we will consider the area of a triangle.
The diagram on the right shows the base and height of a triangle.
The height is the length of a perpenticular line from a vertex to
the opposite side (the distance from the vertex to the side).
Take any triangle and an exact copy of it, put these two together, you
will get a parallelogram of the same height and base. This is the
key to finding the area of a triangle.
A triangle is shown in the following diagram. You can drag the points to change the triangle.
Teacher: Please encourage students
to change the triangle to their hearts content.
In the above diagram,
Click "Copy the Triangle ABC" to make an exact copy of it.
Move and rotate the copy to join with the original tirangle to form one figure with four sides (a quadrilateral). Click the button "Join" to merge the two triangles into a quadrilateral.
There are two different ways to to form the quadrilateral with the same
height h. Use the buttons "join" and "join the other way" to find out.
Teacher: Please note that there is a
third way to join the two identical triangles which results in
a shape that is not so helpful.
Explorations
Discuss with students the reasons why the quadrilateral always form
a parallelogram.
The page contains another manipulative that uses the enclosing-rectangle
approach to show the area of a triangle is 1/2 of base times height. You can

When a torch is pointed towards one of the vertical edges of a cube, you get a shadow of cube in the shape of
(a) square
(b) rectangle but not a square
(c) circle
(d) triangle
Solution:
We know that
A cube is a 3D solid object with six square faces and all the sides of a cube are of the same length. It is also known as a regular hexahedron and is one of the five platonic solids. The shape consists of six square faces, eight vertices, and twelve edges.
If a torch is pointed towards one of the vertical edges of a cube, the shadow is a rectangle but not a square.
Therefore, the shadow of the cube is in the shape of a rectangle but not a square.

Why is Geometric Construction so Important?
Geometric construction is an important chapter of Mathematics. It is a process of drawing figures and shapes using two geometrical tools. We can draw angles, line segments, different types of polygons, circles, arcs and several other geometric figures using basic and simple tools such as a ruler, a pencil and a compass. This helps in introspecting the problem with the help of figures drawn and helps in finding the solution. Students find geometric construction easy and interesting as one can create angles, bisect lines and all types of geometric shapes. Student needs to take care of having a sharp edged pencil so that he/she can make accurate measurements.
Besides, geometry is also very useful in daily life. It helps in deciding what materials should be used, which design should be made and also plays a crucial role in the construction process in the first place.
Geometric construction allows you to create shapes, angles, and polygons using the simplest materials. You'll need paper, a sharpened pencil, a straight line to control the lines, and a drawing compass to swing arcs and scribe circles.
2. Who found geometric construction?
In 13 books (chapters), Euclid (c. 325-265 BC), of Alexandria, presumably a pupil at the Academy founded by Plato, wrote a treatise entitled The Elements of Geometry, in which he introduced geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, known as the Euclidean geometry.
3. How can algebra make use of construction?
Mathematics is a central aspect of the field of engineering and is widely used in science as well. In architecture, tradespeople use mathematical principles for constructing roofs or buildings, such as calculation, arithmetic and trigonometry, plasterers use ratios for combining compounds, plumbers use hydraulics for heating systems, etc.

An isosceles triangle has sides A, B, and C, such that sides A and B have the same length. Side C has a length of #32 # and the triangle has an area of #16 #. What are the lengths of sides A and B?
1 Answer
Explanation:
First things first - we start off with a diagram!
Not the most elegant diagram in the world, but it does the job. By convention, the side opposite angle #A# is #a#, opposite angle #B# is #b# and #C# is #c#. #h# is the perpendicular bisector of AB at M - it cuts AB in half at a right angle.
Let #a=b=x#. Our job is to find #x#.
#Area_triangle=1/2bh# #16=1/2xx32h# #16=16h# #h=1#
Now, we can apply Pythagoras' Theorem in one of the right-angled triangles. We have the height #h=1# and the base#=16#, so we can work out x. | 677.169 | 1 |

Compare two-dimensional figures based on their similarities, differences and positions. Sort two-dimensional figures based on their similarities and differences. Figures are limited to circles, triangles, rectangles and squares.
Examples
A triangle can be compared to a rectangle by stating that they both have straight sides, but a triangle has 3 sides and vertices, and a rectangle has 4 sides and vertices.
Clarifications
Clarification 1: Instruction includes exploring figures in a variety of sizes and orientations.
Clarification 2: Instruction focuses on using informal language to describe relative positions and the similarities or differences between figures when comparing and sorting.
Connecting Benchmarks/Horizontal Alignment
Terms from the K-12 Glossary
Vertical Alignment
Purpose and Instructional Strategies
The purpose of this benchmark is for students to build on their understanding of classification of
two-dimensional figures by finding similarities and differences between shapes (MTR.5.1).
Instruction includes opportunities for students to sort images based on various criteria,
such as same number of sides, and figures with all straight sides (MTR.2.1, MTR.5.1).
Instruction includes helping students describe objects based on relative positions.
Relative position refers to students identifying left/right, in front of/behind, apart and
above/below. When comparing figures students should understand that relative position
can change even though the other features of the figures stay the same.
Instruction includes figures of various sizes and orientations, and may include figures that
are not triangles, circles, rectangles or squares (MTR.2.1).
Instruction includes examples of squares when discussing rectangles.
Right angles are technically not addressed until grade 4, but it is appropriate to discuss
"square corners" and corners that are not square in an informal way in Kindergarten.
Common Misconceptions or Errors
Students may not understand that all squares are also classified as rectangles; however,
only specific rectangles (with sides that are the same length) are also classified as
squares.
Students may sort figures separately because of orientation and/or size rather than the
identified attributes of the figures.
Strategies to Support Tiered Instruction
For example, instruction includes sorting shapes by how they are the same or by
how they are different. The teacher asks follow up questions such as, "How did
you decide to sort the shapes? How many sides does this group have?"
Teacher provides the following plane figures in multiple sizes: squares, circles, triangles,
rectangles. Shapes are scattered in the workspace. Students work to match the squares
with the squares, the circles with the circles, etc., until all shapes are grouped. The focus
is on students recognizing that shapes of different sizes go in the same group (i.e., all
circles large and small should be together).
Teacher provides instruction by doing a "Shape Show." The teacher shows and names a
large rectangle. Walk fingers around its perimeter, describing and exaggerating the
actions (straight side...turn, straight side...turn, straight side...turn, straight side...stop),
while asking students how many sides the rectangle has and count the sides with him or
her. Repeat the actions for a large square, drawing connections between the similarities.
The teacher explains that squares are a special kind of rectangle.
Instructional Tasks
Using the figures below, create sorting cards for students.
Provide each student in a group with their own set of figures to sort. Ask each student to sort
the figures in any way they choose. Once students have sorted their figures, give each student
time to share about their choices, and explain how they sorted their figures (by shape, straight
sides and circles, filled and not filled or number of sides). Once students have shared, ask
them to sort their figures in a new way. Give time for sorting and sharing again. Repeat the
task as needed.
Instructional Task 2
Identify which of the figures below are rectangles and describe their relative positions.
Instructional Items
Instructional Item 1
Circle all of the figures that have 4 sides.
Instructional Item 2
How many figures have straight sides?
*The strategies, tasks and items included in the B1G-M are examples and should not be considered comprehensive.
Lesson PlansThe students will be working in whole group, small group and individually to discover measurable attributes of objects and sort the objects into categories. Students will also count and compare the number of objects in each category lesson, kindergarten students will learn to sort objects familiar to them by different attributes. They will justify their decisions for classification when objects have more than one similar characteristic.

Cross Product of Two Vectors
In summary, the conversation discusses the result of applying the cross product to two vectors, A and B, and finding the magnitude of the resulting vector, C. It is shown that the magnitudes of C and 2(AxB) are equal, and the unit vectors for C and (AxB) are also equal. This is because the cross product changes sign when the order of the vectors is changed, but the magnitude remains the same. Additionally, the magnitude of a unit vector is always 1.

You are right the cross product changes sign when you change the order of the vectors, but the magnitude stays the same. Think how the cross product was defined: AxB is a vector perpendicular to both A and B and it points in the direction from where the rotation of the first vector into the second looks anti-clockwise. So AxB=P and BxA=-P. If you subtract -P it is the same as adding P.ehild

I was doing part (d.) and the unit vector for [itex]\vec{C}[/itex] was (-0.949i - 0.316k) and the unit vector for ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]) was also (-0.949i - 0.316k). Therefore, the unit vector for [itex]\vec{C}[/itex] is not twice as long as the unit vector for ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]). Instead, it is equal. Why is it equal? I'm not quite sure. But if I had to guess, I would say that for vector C, the vector was twice that of ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]), as was the magnitude. And for ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]), the vector and magnitude for half of that for vector C, therefore, when the unit vector was found, they were equal to one another. Had the magnitude of ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]) been half that of vector C, THEN the unit vector for ([itex]\vec{A}[/itex] x [itex]\vec{B}[/itex]) would have been half that of vector C.
The magnitude of a unit vector is 1. It is the definition of the unit vector: a vector pointing in a specific direction, and having unit length (magnitude).

1. What is the cross product of two vectors?
The cross product of two vectors is a mathematical operation that produces a new vector that is perpendicular to both of the original vectors. It is also known as the vector product, and is denoted by the symbol "x".
2. How is the cross product calculated?
The cross product of two vectors, A and B, can be calculated using the following formula: A x B = (AyBz - AzBy)i + (AzBx - AxBz)j + (AxBy - AyBx)k where i, j, and k are unit vectors in the x, y, and z directions respectively.
3. What is the magnitude of the cross product?
The magnitude of the cross product of two vectors is equal to the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. It can be calculated using the formula: |A x B| = |A||B|sin(θ) where |A| and |B| are the magnitudes of the two vectors and θ is the angle between them.
4. What is the direction of the cross product?
The direction of the cross product is perpendicular to the plane formed by the two original vectors. The right-hand rule is often used to determine the direction of the resulting vector, where the thumb points in the direction of the cross product when the fingers of the right hand are curled in the direction from the first vector to the second vector.
5. What are the applications of the cross product?
The cross product has many applications in physics and engineering, such as calculating torque, magnetic fields, and fluid dynamics. It is also used in computer graphics to calculate surface normals and in 3D modeling to determine the orientation of objects. | 677.169 | 1 |

Meaning of linear measure and precision
Lines join two points and extend to infinity. Line segments are parts of lines that join two points together. This means that the 'lines' we typically see are geometrically defined as line segments.
A line segment AB, Jones - Vaia Originals
This figure provides an example of a line segment as it has two endpoints and doesn't extend infinitely. As it joins the points A and B, it can be referred to as AB.
Linear measure is the measurement of the length of a line segment. Length is a measure of distance; so, finding the length of the line segment that joins two points in space would give us the distance between the two points. How do we measure length? We use established units that define a specific amount of length. The unit of one inch always measures the same amount of distance; so, we can measure the length of line segments by how many inches fit into its length.
A ruler with 0.1 mm divisions, pixabay.com
Above is a tool which is used for linear measure. It is known as a ruler and is a rectangular instrument which has intervals of certain units of length written on it. On this ruler, we can see the use of units, mm (millimeters), which is a metric unit. The numbers on the ruler provide the amount of units of length of the measured object, as measured from the indicated zero.
How do we use a ruler? Line the ruler up with the line segment you want to measure, then place one endpoint of the line segment you want to measure on the zero of the ruler, and note the point on the ruler where the other endpoint of the line segment is. This is the length of the line segment.
The precision of a measurement is based on the tool used. Each tool has a certain increment in units which we use to measure the lengths of line segments. However, if the end point of a line falls between two of the increments, we don't include that extra measurement and simply use the closest interval on the tool. So if we had a ruler with increments of quarter-inches and the true value of length was a quarter and one eighth of an inch, we would only measure a sixteenth of an inch due to the intervals not being precise enough. A measuring instrument with smaller increments would be more precise as there is less uncertainty in the measured value. To maximize precision, minimize increment value.
To get the precision of a linear measurement, find the smallest increment on the tool used to measure the line segment, and halve it. This provides the absolute error of measurement. Then, add this value to the measurement and also subtract it. This creates a range of values in which the true length could be.
Examples of linear measure and precision
Earlier we listed some real-life applications of linear measure and precision. Now, let's take a look at some example questions that you may encounter regarding linear measure and precision.
Find the length of the line segment AB.
Working: The zero mark on the ruler is placed on the endpoint A. The large increments go up in 1s, and there are 10 smaller increments between, so each small increment represents 0.1 inches. Point B goes past the 4 mark, and there are 6 smaller increments between 4 and point B, so this means that the length of AB is 4.6 inches.
A ruler which is divided into half inches measures a line segment of length 7 inches. Find the precision of this measurement.
Working: The ruler has increments of half inches, so we halve this value to get 12÷2=14. This is the absolute error of measurement. Then, we add and subtract this value to 7 to get a range of values for which the true length could lie within. The ruler is precise within half of an inch, and the measurement could be 634to 714.
Linear measure and precision in geometryA diagram illustrating collinearity, Jones - Vaia Originals
Point C is collinear with A and B. Point D is not collinear with A and B. Therefore, point C is between points A and B, while point D is not.
If a point lies between two points, we can use the fact that the linear measure between the end points and the point between them add up to get the length of the whole line segment.
Find the value of x.
Working: We can see that point C is collinear with points A and B. This means that AC + CB = AB. The diagram tells us that the length of AC is 5 inches and the length of AB is 7 inches. Therefore, we subtract 5 from 7 to get the remaining length, which gives us our value for x. 7 - 5 = 2, so x = 2.
Find the value of x.
Working: This example is a little trickier, as we have 3 lengths involving unknowns. However, we can see that point R is between points P and Q, so we can use our knowledge of linear measure in geometry to form an equation. As point R is between points P and Q: PR + RQ = PQ. So, we substitute the values on the diagram into this equation, giving us x + 2 + 3x + 4 = 7x, which can be simplified to 4x + 6 = 7x. We then solve the equation for x by subtracting 4x from both sides, giving us 6 = 3x, and then dividing both sides by two, giving us our answer, x = 2.
Types of linear measure and precision
When taking linear measurements, there are a range of different measurement tools that we can use. This is because each instrument can have a different precision as their increment values are different. We use the appropriate measuring instrument based on the general size of the line segment we want to measure.
For example, if we wanted to measure the length of a corridor, we would most likely use a ruler with feet or meter increments. This is because the corridor is too big to use smaller measurements and it would be more efficient. For smaller objects, such as an apple, we would use a ruler with inch or centimeter increments as more precision is required to measure smaller lengths correctly and accurately. There are many different tools other than rulers which we can use to measure shorter or longer lengths. Here are some examples:
Vernier calipers are tools which can be used to measure very small lengths and typically provide a precision of around a thousandth of an inch.
Micrometers are used for even smaller lengths and have a higher precision than Vernier calipers, generally around a few ten thousandths of an inch.
Measuring wheels can be used to measure long distances, and have a very low precision as they only notify the user when it has travelled a certain amount of distance, generally a meter or a foot. They work by having a circumference equal to the distance measured, and when the wheel rotates one full rotation, it has travelled one increment of that measurement.
Laser measurement devices work by emitting a laser from one endpoint of the line segment to the other end. The device calculates the distance based on the time taken for the laser to travel to the endpoint and reflect back.
Electromagnetic measurement devices use electromagnetic waves to determine the distance between two points.
Units of linear measure and precision
When taking linear measurements we use units to define certain amounts of lengths. There are two systems for linear measurement: imperial and metric.
Imperial units of linear measure include:
Inches
Feet, which are the measurement of 12 inches
Yards, which are the measurement of 3 feet
Miles, which are the measurement of 1,760 yards
Metric units work in powers of ten. Metric units of linear measure include:
Millimeters
Centimeters, which are the measurement of 10 millimeters
Meters, which are the measurement of 100 centimeters or 1,000 millimeters
Kilometers, which are the measurement of 1,000 meters
There are more metric units which can be obtained by either dividing millimeters by 1,000, or multiplying kilometers by 1,000.
Units of linear measurement can be converted by knowing how many of each unit make up another unit. This forms a ratio between the two measurements. For example, as each foot is made up of 12 inches, the ratio between the two units could be represented as 12inches1foot=12.
Using these ratios, we can convert the units used to express a measurement. To do this unit conversion, we multiply the quantity's original unit by the ratio between that unit and another unit. This is called dimensional analysis. We will take a look at an example to see how this is done.
How many inches are in 2 yards?
Solution:
We know that 3 feet are in each yard, so multiply the number of yards by the ratio between feet and yards.
2yards×3feet1yard=6feet
Each foot is equal to 12 inches, so we multiply the number of feet by the ratio between inches and feet.
6feet×12inches1foot=72inches
Thus, there are 72 inches in 2 yards. Another way to think of this problem is that we want to convert this linear measurement (2 yards, in this case) to be expressed using the unit of the inch instead. In other words, the quantity itself remains the same, but the units we express it with can be changed using dimensional analysis.
Linear measure and precision - Key takeaways
Lines join two points and extend to infinity. Line segments are parts of lines that join two points together.
Linear measure is the measurement of the length of a line segment.
To define specific amounts of linear measurement, we use units.
We can use measuring tools to find lengths of line segments.
The precision of a measurement is based on the tool used. The precision of a tool is given by its smallest increment divided by two.When taking linear measurements, there are a range of different measurement tools that we can use.

Triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle centered at point O. Find the angle ACB if the angle AOB is 73 degrees.
The central angle inscribed in the circle of the triangle is equal to the arc on which it rests => angle AOB = arc AB The inscribed angle is equal to half of the arc on which it rests => ACB = 1/2 of arc AB Based on this, we can conclude that the inscribed angle equal to half of the central angle resting on the same arc ACB = 1 / 2AOB = 36.5 | 677.169 | 1 |

Given 3 points in $\mathbb R^3$, you have a plane that passes through them. Choose 2 points on the sphere and the third point to be the center of the sphere. The plane passing through these three points divides the sphere into two hemispheres. By the PHP, there is a hemisphere with at least 2 points, out of the remaining 3, on it. These two points along with the two points on the plane are 4 points that lie on a closed hemisphere. | 677.169 | 1 |

GRAPHING ENLARGEMENTS
When a dilation in the coordinate plane has the origin as the center of dilation, we can find points on the dilated image by multiplying the x and y coordinates of the original figure by the scale factor.
For example, if the scale factor is 'k', the algebraic representation of the dilation is
(x, y) → (kx, ky)
For enlargements, k > 1.
Example 1 :
The triangle PQR shown on the grid is the pre-image. If the center of dilation is the origin and the scale factor is 3, graph the dilated image P'Q'R'.
Solution :
Step 1 :
List the coordinates of the vertices of the pre image.
P(1, 3), Q(3, 1) and RP(1, 3) ---> P'(3, 9)
Q(3, 1) ---> Q'(9, 3)
R(1, 1) ---> R'(3, 3)
Step 4 :
Graph the image P'Q'R'.
Example 2 :
The rectangle JKLM shown on the grid is the pre-image. If the center of dilation is the origin and the scale factor is 2, graph the dilated image J'K'L'M'.
Solution :
Step 1 :
List the coordinates of the vertices of the pre image.
J(1, 1), K(3, 1), L(3, 4) and M(1, 4)
Step 2 :
Since the scale factor is 2, the rule to get the coordinates of the vertices of the image is
(x, y) → (2x, 2y)
Step 3 :
List the coordinates of the vertices of the image.
J(1, 1) ---> J'(2, 2)
K(3, 1) ---> K'(6, 2)
L(3, 4) ---> L'(6, 8)
M(1, 4) ---> M'(2, 8)
Step 4 :
Graph the image J'K'L'M'.
Example 3 :
The triangle ABC shown on the grid is the pre-image. If the center of dilation is the origin and the scale factor is 3, graph the dilated image A'B'C'.
Solution :
Step 1 :
List the coordinates of the vertices of the pre image.
A(1, 3), B(3, 3) and CA(1, 3) ---> A'(3, 9)
B(3, 3) ---> B'(9, 9)

Again, let the arc ABHb be the supplement of AB; draw the radius Cb, and produce it till it meet the circle in E, and the line TAt in t; demit bf and EF perpendicular to the diameter AD; then bf is the sine of the arc ABHb, or of the angle ACb, and EF is the sine of the arc ABbDLE, or of the angle which is measured by that arc.
17. DEF. 5. The versed sine of an arc is that part of the diameter passing through the beginning of the arc which is intercepted between the beginning of the arc and the right sine. Thus, AF is the versed sine of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB; and Af is the versed sine of the arc AHb, or of the angle ACb.
18. DEF. 6. The tangent of an arc is a straight line touching the circle in the beginning of the arc, produced thence till it meets the radius (produced) drawn through the end of the arc. Thus, AT is the tangent of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB; and At is the tangent of the arc AHb, or of the angle ACb.
19. DEF. 7. The secant of an arc is a straight line drawn from the centre through the end of the arc, and produced till it meets the tangent. Thus, CT is the secant of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB; and Ct is the secant of the arc AHь, or of the angle ACb.
20. DEF. 8. The cosine of an arc is the part of the diame ter passing through the beginning of the arc which is intercepted between the centre and the sine. Thus, CF is the cosine of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB; and Cf is the cosine of the arc AHb, or of the angle ACb.
21. DEF. 9. The cotangent of an arc is a line touching the circle in the end of the first quadrant, produced thence till it meets the radius (produced) drawn through the end of the arc. Thus, draw HK, touching the circle in H, and meeting the radius produced in K; then HK is the cotangent of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB.
22. DEF. 10. The cosecant of an arc is a straight line drawn from the centre through the end of the arc, and produced till it meets the cotangent. Thus, CK is the cosecant of the arc AB, or of the angle ACB.
Scholium to Definitions 8, 9, 10.
23. It is manifest that the cotangent and cosecant are referred to the diameter HL passing through the end of the quadrant, in like manner as the tangent and secant are referred to the diameter AD passing through the beginning of the quad
rant.
It appears also, that the cosine, cotangent, and cosecant of an arc under 90 degrees, or of an angle less than a right angle, are respectively equal to the sine, tangent, and secant of the complement of that arc or angle.
Draw BI perpendicular to the diameter HL, then CF-BI. But BI, HK, CK, are respectively the sine, tangent, and secant of the arc HB, reckoned from Has its beginning. Now the arc HB is the complement of the arc AB, and the angle HCB is the complement of the angle ACB. Therefore the cosine, cotangent, and cosecant of any arc or angle, are respectively equal to the sine, tangent, and secant of the complement of that arc or angle, whence they derive their names.
Of the Properties and Relations of Trigonometrical Lines.
24. The sine, cosine, tangent, secant, &c. of any angle ACB, in a circle whose radius is AC (fig. 1), will be to the sine, cosine, &c. of the same angle ACB, in any other circle whose radius is AC (fig. 2), respectively as the radius of the former circle is to the radius of the latter.
For the several right-angled triangles corresponding to one another in fig. 1 and 2, having one acute angle equal in each (the angle ACB in fig. 1 equal to ACB in fig. 2), are equiangular; therefore BF (1): BF (2) :: BC (1): BC (2). Similar analogies obtain in the case of all the other corresponding triangles, in each of which one corresponding side is radius.
25. Hence, if the radius of any circle be divided into 10,000,000 equal parts, and the length of the sine, tangent, or secant, &c. of any angle in such parts be given, the length of the sine, tangent, or secant of the same angle to any other given radius may be found by the common rule of proportion.
A table exhibiting the length of the sine, tangent, and secant of every degree and minute of the first quadrant in such parts, of which 10,000,000 make the radius, is called a trigonometrical canon; and it will always be, as the tabular radius is to any other given radius, so is the tabular sine, &c. of any angle to the sine, &c. of the same angle to the given radius.
26. THE chord of 60 degrees is equal to radius.
For then the angles ABC, BAC being equal (5. 1), each of them is 60 degrees = angle ACB; therefore the triangle ACB being equiangular, is also equilateral (Cor. 6. 1); therefore the chord AB=radius AC.
27. The sine of 90 degrees, or a quadrant, or a right angle, is equal to radius. This is manifest from an inspection of the figure.
28. The tangent of 45 degrees is radius.
For then the angle ACT being half a right angle, the other acute angle ATC must also be half a right angle; therefore AC=AT (6.1).
29. The secant of 0 (or at the beginning of the circle) is radius.
30. The cosine of no degrees is radius, and the cosine of 90 degrees is 0.
31. The versed sine of 90 degrees is radius, and the versed sine of 180 degrees is the diameter.
32. Universally, the versed sine is always either the sum or the difference of the cosine and radius, namely, the sum in the two middle quadrants HD and DL, and the difference in the two extreme quadrants AH and LA.
33. As the arc increases from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, its sine, tangent, and secant decrease. Thus, as Ab increases, it is evident that the sine bf, the tangent At, and the secant Ct must decrease till the point b coincides with D. Consequently, if there be two arcs between 90° and 180°, the greater arc will have the less sine, tangent, and secant.
34. Let the arcs Ab and AB be supplements to each other, namely, Ab greater, and AB less than a quadrant; then will their sines bf and BF be equal.
Because Ab+AB=180°=Ab+bD, the arc AB=6D, or the angle_bCD=BCA. But the radii BC, ¿C are equal. Hence the right-angled triangles ¿Cƒ, BCF are equal (26. 1), and bf=BF.
35. In like manner, Cf, the cosine of the arc AHb, is equal to CF, the cosine of the arc AB; but is negative, because it falls on the other side of the centre C, whence the cosines have their origin.
36. Again, At the tangent, and Ct the secant of Ab, are respectively equal to AT the tangent, and CT the secant of AB.
The right-angled triangles TCA, CA, having the angle BCA or TCA equal to the angle ¿CD or tCA, and CA common, are equal (26. 1), therefore At-AT, and Ct=CT. But the tangent and secant, being now produced in a contrary direction, will be negative.
37. In like manner, the sine, cosine, tangent, and secant of any arc terminating in the third quadrant DL, will be respectively the same as those of an arc equal to the excess of the
proposed arc above a semicircle. Thus, the sine of the arc AHDB is ßf, and is equal to BF, the sine of the arc AB=Ds. And so of the other lines.
38. The sine, cosine, tangent, and secant of an arc terminating in the fourth quadrant LA, will be the same as those of an arc equal to the supplement of the proposed arc to a whole circle. Thus, the sine of the arc AHDLË, is EF, and is equal to BF, the sine of the arc AB=AE, the supplement of AHDLE to a whole circle. And so of the other lines.
39. The versed sine Af of an arc Ab, above one quadrant, but under two quadrants, is equal to the difference between the versed sine of its supplement and the diameter; that is, Af AD-AF. For CF-Cf, therefore Af=DF=AD-AF.
40. The versed sine of an arc above two quadrants is (not merely equal to, but) the same as the versed sine of its supplement to a whole circle.
Thus, the versed sine of the arc AHD, and also of the arc AELs (or rather its equal ABHb) is Af: and the versed sine of the arc AHDLE, and of the arc AB AE, is in both cases AF.
Scholium. From these propositions it follows, that a table of sines, tangents, secants, and versed sines, computed for every degree and minute of the first quadrant, will serve for the whole circle.
41. The right-angled triangles BCF, TCA, CKH, having the several acute angles BCF, TCA, CKH equal (29. 1), are equiangular; hence the following analogies are deduced.
5. Tangent TA : radius CA :: radius CH=CA : cot. HK. Hence it appears that the radius is a mean proportional between the cosine and secant, between the sine and cosecant, and between the tangent and cotangent.
42. The tangents and cotangents of any two arcs of a circle are reciprocally proportional; that is, the tangent of the first arc tangent of the second :: cot. of the second arc : cot. of the first.
Let T and C denote the tangent and cotangent of the first arc, t and c the tangent and cotangent of the second; then T×C =radius (41), and txc-radius2; therefore TxC=txc, therefore Tt:c: C (16. 6).
B
In the same manner it may be shown, that the cosines and secants of two arcs, and also the sines and cosecants, are reciprocally proportional.
43. The sine of any arc is equal to half the chord of double that arc.
For the radius CA, perpendicular to BE, bisects the chord BE in F (3. 3), and also the arc BAE subtended by it (26. 3), because the angle BCA=ECA; therefore BF, the sine of the arc BA, is half the chord BE, which subtends the arc BAE, the double of BA.
44. Conversely. The chord of any arc is double the sine of half that arc.
For the radius CA, perpendicular to the chord BE, bisects BE in F (3. 3), and also the arc BAE subtended by it (26.3), because the angles ACB and ACE are equal; therefore the chord BE is double the sine BF of the arc AB-half the arc BAE.
45. The sine of 30 degrees, the cosine of 60 degrees, and the versed sine of 60 degrees, are each equal to half the radius.
The chord of 60 degrees is equal to the radius (26), therefore the size of 30 degrees, being equal to half the chord of 60 degrees (43), is equal to half the radius.
Again, the sine of an arc being equal to the cosine of its complement (23), the cosine of 60 degrees is equal to the sine of 30 degrees, and therefore is equal to half the radius.
Thirdly, the versed sine of an arc less than a quadrant being equal to the difference between the radius and the cosine, the versed sine of 60 degrees-radius-cosine of 60 degrees= radius-half radius=half radius.
46. On the diameter AD describe a semicircle ABD; draw AB the chord, and BF the sine, of the arc AB; draw the radius CLM perpendicular to the chord in L, and cutting the circle in M; then will the radius CLM bisect the chord AB in L (3.3), and the arc AMB in M (26. 3). Hence AL will be the sine, and CL the cosine of the arc AM. Lastly, join the points D, B, then the triangle

How Many Sides Does a Regular Polygon Have?
A regular polygon is a two-dimensional shape with equal sides and equal angles. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and has been studied for centuries. In this article, we will explore the properties of regular polygons, discuss how to determine the number of sides in a regular polygon, and provide examples and case studies to illustrate these concepts.
Understanding Regular Polygons
Before we delve into the number of sides in a regular polygon, let's first understand what makes a polygon regular. A polygon is a closed figure formed by straight lines, and a regular polygon has equal sides and equal angles.
Regular polygons are named based on the number of sides they have. For example, a polygon with three sides is called a triangle, a polygon with four sides is called a quadrilateral, and a polygon with five sides is called a pentagon.
Regular polygons have several interesting properties:
All sides of a regular polygon are congruent, meaning they have the same length.
All angles of a regular polygon are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.
The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides.
The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees / n, where n is the number of sides.
Determining the Number of Sides
Now that we understand the properties of regular polygons, let's discuss how to determine the number of sides in a regular polygon. There are a few different methods to do this, depending on the information available.
Method 1: Counting the Sides
The most straightforward method to determine the number of sides in a regular polygon is to count them. If you have a visual representation of the polygon, such as a drawing or a physical object, you can simply count the number of sides to find the answer.
For example, if you have a regular polygon with six sides, you can count each side and conclude that it is a hexagon. Similarly, if you have a regular polygon with eight sides, you can count each side and determine that it is an octagon.
Method 2: Using the Interior Angle
Another method to determine the number of sides in a regular polygon is to use the measure of the interior angle. As mentioned earlier, the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees / n, where n is the number of sides.
By knowing the measure of the interior angle, you can solve the equation for n and find the number of sides. Let's take an example to illustrate this method:
Suppose you have a regular polygon with an interior angle measuring 120 degrees. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:
(n-2) * 180 degrees / n = 120 degrees
Simplifying the equation, we have:
180n – 360 = 120n
60n = 360
n = 6
Therefore, the regular polygon in question has six sides and is a hexagon.
Examples and Case Studies
Let's explore a few examples and case studies to further illustrate the concept of regular polygons and the determination of their number of sides.
Example 1: Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle is a regular polygon with three sides of equal length. Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees. Using the formula mentioned earlier, we can verify this:
(n-2) * 180 degrees / n = (3-2) * 180 degrees / 3 = 60 degrees
Therefore, an equilateral triangle is a regular polygon with three sides.
Example 2: Regular Hexagon
A regular hexagon is a polygon with six sides of equal length. Each interior angle of a regular hexagon measures 120 degrees. Using the formula, we can confirm this:
(n-2) * 180 degrees / n = (6-2) * 180 degrees / 6 = 120 degrees
Therefore, a regular hexagon is a polygon with six sides.
Case Study: Architecture
Regular polygons have been widely used in architecture throughout history. One notable example is the Pantheon in Rome, which is a circular building with a portico consisting of eight regular granite columns. Each column represents a regular polygon with eight sides, known as an octagon.
The use of regular polygons in architecture allows for symmetry and aesthetic appeal. By incorporating regular polygons into the design, architects can create visually pleasing structures that are mathematically precise.
Summary
Regular polygons are two-dimensional shapes with equal sides and equal angles. They have several properties, including congruent sides and angles. The number of sides in a regular polygon can be determined by counting them or using the measure of the interior angle. Regular polygons have been used in various fields, including architecture, to create visually appealing and mathematically precise structures.

'Cabinet Oblique'
In Cabinet obliquethe scale (depth) is halved whilst in Cavalier
oblique the depth scale is the same as in the X and Y directions.
One remaining drawing conventions is Oblique drawing –In this convention the angles used are 45 degrees and 90 degrees. The only difference between the two named styles is in the scale of the dimension going away from the viewer.
This first example is Cavalier Obliqueand shows the full scale (1:1) in the axis.
This drawing (shown to the left) is symmetric about the horizontal centre-line.Centre-lines are chain-dotted and are used for symmetric objects, and also for showing the centre of circles and holes.
Drawing dimensions should generally be done directly to the centre-line, as shown on the left. In many cases this method
can be clearer than just dimensioning
between surfaces.
Note again that the measurements show only numbers. The statement at the bottom of the drawing identifies that these numbers are the dimensions in Millimetres.
A Simple Guide to Dimensions … Continued …With the left side of the block composed solely of "radiuses" (radii) – as shown here, we break our rule that we should not duplicate dimensions. The total length is known because the radius of the curve on the left side is given. Then, for clarity, we add the overall length of 60 and we note that it is a reference (REF) dimension.
This means that it is not really required.
Somewhere on the paper, usually the bottom, there should be placed information on what measuring system is being used (e.g. inches and millimetres) and also the scale of the drawing | 677.169 | 1 |
I have the rotation(A), elevation(B) and location(C) of a camera in a left handed 3d space. +x is right, +y is down and +z is inwards. Initially the camera is pointing in +z direction with up direction being -y. This camera is rotated by angle B along x axis, rotated by angle A along y axis and then translated by vector C.
1 Answer

You can compute your new right vector using the unit circle (assuming your angle A is measured in radians):
right.x = - cos(A)
right.y = 0
right.z = sin(A)
Here I've used a negative on the x component, because you said the camera is initially pointed in the +z direction. That would mean its "right" vector points in the world's "left" direction when angle A is zero.
We can use a similar trick for the forward and up vectors, using spherical coordinate formulas and a cross product: | 677.169 | 1 |

How to Find Area of a Triangle with Heron's Formula & Examples
A triangle is a closed shape with three angles, three sides, and three vertices. Consider a triangle with 3 vertices says X, Y, and Z are represented as △XYZ (where △ represent the symbol for triangle). A triangle sometimes is also termed a three-sided polygon/trigon.
There are three types of triangles based on the sides; Equilateral Triangle (where all the three sides are equal), Isosceles Triangle (having two equal sides), Scalene Triangle (a triangle with no equal sides).
Further triangles are also categorised based on the angle:
Acute Triangle (where all the angles are less than 90°).
Right Triangle (where one of the angles is 90°).
Obtuse Triangle(a triangle where one of the angles is more than 90°).
In this maths article on the area of a triangle, you will learn about the area of the triangle formulas, how to find the area of a triangle, how to calculate the area of the triangle and many such concepts regarding.
What is Area of a Triangle?
Triangles are one of the most popular 2D shapes in mathematics. They are defined as a closed, two-dimensional shape with three straight sides and three angles. They can also be considered as 3 sided polygons. Triangles can be classified based on the length of their sides and the measure of their angles. A triangle with all three sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle, while a triangle with exactly two sides of equal length is called an isosceles triangle. A triangle also has some interesting properties like the sum of the interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees, a property known as the Triangle Sum Theorem.
The area of a triangle is the measure of the two dimensional region enclosed within its three sides. The area of a triangle depends on the length of its base and its height, which is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex. If we let b be the length of the base and h be the height of a triangle, then the area A of the triangle is given by the formula:
This formula can be derived using various methods, such as dividing the triangle into two smaller right triangles or using trigonometry. However, this formula only works for triangles with a known base and height. For triangles with other known measurements, such as the lengths of all three sides or the coordinates of its vertices, different formulas or techniques must be used to find its area.
Area of Triangle Formulas
General formula for area of a triangle is equivalent to half of the base time's height.
Area of a Triangle (A)=\(\frac{1}{2}\times b\left(\text{base}\right)\times h\left(\text{height}\right)\)
Hence, to calculate the area of a triangle, we must have the values of its base (b) and height (h) of it. This formula is employed in all types of triangles, whether it is scalene, isosceles or equilateral.
Various formulas for calculation of area of a triangle are given below:
How to find the Area of a Triangle?
The most well known way to find the area of a triangle is to take half of the product of the base and height of the triangle. Can we find the area of the triangle without height? There are methods to find the area of a triangle from the information about the sides and angles of a triangle or the properties of a particular type of triangle. Let's see how to find the area of a triangle depending on the information we have:
From Base and Height: We simply used the formula ½ x b x h
From One Side of an Equilateral Triangle: using the properties of an equilateral triangle we can find its area from its side
From Side Lengths: We use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle from the length of the three sides of a triangle
From Trigonometry: We use trigonometry to find the area from two adjacent sides and the angle between them
From coordinates of the vertices: We can also find the area of a triangle from the coordinates of its vertices.
We will study all these methods in detail below.
Area of a Right Angled Triangle with Formula
A right-angled triangle or a right triangle has one of its angles at 90° and the other two angles compose a sum of 90°. Below shown is the image of a right-angle triangle. Here in the right-angle triangle, the three sides are known as the base, the altitude, and the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the largest side and is opposite to the right angle within the triangle.
Formula for Area of a Right Triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times \text{Height (Perpendicular distance)}\)
Area of an Equilateral Triangle with Formula
An Equilateral triangle is a type of triangle in which all three sides are identical and angles are also equal. The value of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60° hence, it is also understood as an equiangular triangle.
Formula of Area of an Equilateral Triangle is \(\frac{(\sqrt{3})}{4}\times side^2\)
Area of an Isosceles Triangle with Formula
Area of an isosceles triangle is the measure of space included between the sides of the triangle. An isosceles triangle has two of its sides identical and also the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
Formula for Area of an Isosceles Triangle is \(\frac{1}{4}\times b\sqrt{4a^2−b^2}\)
Similarly, the area of the scalene triangle can also be calculated. A scalene triangle is a triangle possessing all three sides of different lengths, along with all three angles of different degrees. However, the sum of the three interior angles of any triangle always adds up to 180 degrees, which fulfils the angle sum properties of triangle.
Area of Scalene Triangle
A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths. To find the area of a scalene triangle, we can use a formula that involves the lengths of its sides and the semi-perimeter, which is half the sum of the lengths of its three sides. This formula is known as Heron's Formula. We will have a look at this formula in a section below.
Perimeter of a Triangle
Perimeter of a triangle is the length traversed around the triangle and is determined by adding all three sides of a triangle.
Formula for Perimeter of a triangle is \(\text{P(perimeter)=(a+b+c) units}\)
where a,b and c are the sides of the triangle.
Area of a Triangle with 3 Sides using Heron's Formula?
Area of a triangle with 3 sides of distinct lengths can be calculated using Heron's formula. Heron's formula involves two essential steps:
Step 1: Determine the semi-perimeter of a triangle by summing all three sides of a triangle and dividing it by two.
Step 2: Implement the semi-perimeter of a triangle value in the main equation called "Heron's Formula" to calculate the area.
Area of a Triangle using Heron's Formula \(A=\sqrt{s\left(s-a\right)\left(s-b\right)\left(s-c\right)}\)
where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle
Semi-Perimeter of a Triangle using Heron's Formula \(s=\frac{(a+b+c)}{2}\)
Area of a Triangle with 2 Sides and Included Angle (SAS)
Consider the below triangle ABC, where the vertex angles are ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C, and sides are a,b and c. Then the formula for the area of a triangle is:
\(Area\ (∆\ ABC)=\frac{1}{2}bc\sin\left(A\right)\)
\(Area (∆\ ABC)=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin\left(C\right)\)
\(Area (∆\ ABC)=\frac{1}{2}ca\sin\left(B\right)\)
Area of Triangle in Coordinate Geometry
The area of a triangle formed by three non-collinear points with coordinates (x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2), and (x_3,y_3) can be calculated using the formula:
where |\cdot| denotes the determinant of the matrix. This formula is derived from the fact that the area of a triangle can be expressed as half the magnitude of the cross product of two of its sides, which can in turn be represented using vectors formed from the given coordinates.
Either way, we find that the area of the triangle is \boxed{\frac{7}{2}} square units.
Area of triangle in Vector
The area of a triangle formed by two vectors can be calculated using the cross product of those vectors. The magnitude of the cross product of two vectors gives the area of the parallelogram formed by those vectors, and half of that area gives the area of the triangle.
Let's say we have two vectors u and v that form the sides of a triangle. We can calculate the area of the triangle using the following formula:
Area = 1/2 * ||u x v||
where u x v is the cross product of u and v, and ||u x v|| is the magnitude of that cross product.
So the area of the triangle formed by two vectors u and v is half the magnitude of their cross product:
Area = 1/2 * ||u x v||
Note that the area of the triangle will be a scalar value, not a vector, as it is a measure of the magnitude of the area enclosed by the two vectors.
For example:
Sure, let's take two vectors u = [3, 2, 1] and v = [1, 4, 2] and find the area of the triangle they form.
To find the area, we first need to calculate the cross product of u and v:
u x v = [u2*v3 - u3*v2, u3*v1 - u1*v3, u1*v2 - u2*v1]
= [2*2 - 1*4, 1*1 - 3*2, 3*4 - 2*1]
= [0, -5, 10]
Next, we find the magnitude of the cross product:
||u x v|| = sqrt(0^2 + (-5)^2 + 10^2) = sqrt(125) = 5*sqrt(5)
Finally, we use the formula to find the area of the triangle:
area = 1/2 * ||u x v|| = 1/2 * 5*sqrt(5) = 2.5*sqrt(5)
So the area of the triangle formed by the vectors u and v is 2.5*sqrt(5).
Area of Similar Triangles
Similar triangles have the same shape but different sizes. In other words, the corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal, and the corresponding sides are proportional. The area of similar triangles can be related using the area of similar triangle theorem.
Area of similar triangle theorem: If we have two similar triangles with corresponding sides a and b, and corresponding heights (or altitudes) \(h_1\) and \(h_2\), then the ratio of the areas of the two triangles is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides:
Example 6: The area of a rectangle is twice the area of a triangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 58cm. What is the area of the triangle?
Solution: According to the question, Area of rectangle = 2 × Area of Triangle And we know that, Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Perimeter of rectangle is equal to sum of its four sides.
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
And according to the question Perimeter of rectangle is 58. So, 2(length + breadth) = 58
∴ Length + breadth = 29
Here we cannot calculate area of rectangle using above result, because we don't know the individual values of length and breadth of rectangle so the area of triangle also cannot be determined.
Example 7: Area of a triangle is \(90 cm^2\), then what will be the area of triangle if height becomes 5 times and base of triangle is decreased by 20%?
Solution: 90 = \(\frac{1}{2} × height × base\)
New area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} × (5 × height) × (0.8 × base)\)
⇒ 4 × (\(\frac{1}{2} × height × base\))
⇒ 4 × 90 ⇒ \(360 cm^2 \)∴ Area of triangle is \(360 cm^2 \)
Example 8: The sides of a triangle are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. Circles of radius 2 cm are drawn with center at each vertex of the triangle. What is the area of the triangle excluding the part covered by the areas of the triangle? ( π = 3.14)
Solution: From the dimension of the sides, we can deduce that it is a right angles triangle, as 152 = 92 + 122 Area of the triangle \((T) = \frac{(9 × 12)}{2} = 54 cm^2\)
Since, sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180º, hence the area of the circles inside the triangle has a sector angle of 180º in total. Also, the sector angle of a complete circle = 360º ⇒ Area of the circles that is in the part of triangle as well(A) = πr2/2 ⇒ A = [3.14 × (22)]/2 = 6.28 cm2 ∴ Required area = 54 – 6.28 = 47.72 cm2
Example 9: The diagonal of a square equals the side of an equilateral triangle. If the area of the square is 12 sq.cm, what is the area of the equilateral triangle?

I found another way to solve this question that is simpler in my opinion (note: I have taken a high school geometry class before)
First solve for the base angles of the lower triangle. The lower triangle must be isosceles because it is in an isosceles trapezoid so the base angles must be equal. Since angles in a triangle add up to 180, the sum of these angles is 180-120=60. Each angle is 30 because 30=30 and 30+30=60.
45c19703-3daf-4ae3-ab74-1c18a38e91d3-image.png
Next draw a 30-60-90 triangle with one of the 30 degree angles and by breaking up a right angle on the top base into 30 and 60. Notice the diagonal of this 30-60-90 triangle is the same as the diagonal of the isosceles trapezoid.
66d086d8-aa32-4112-8bee-216348b96709-image.pngg)
Then move the triangle to the right of the 30-60-90 to the right of the trapezoid like this to create a rectangle of the same area:
32ce6a08-f0ba-4d5b-9b77-08fe1de4816b-image.png
(optional) To prove why this works you could draw a rectangle inside the isosceles trapezoid. The angles with one red mark are equal to each other. The angles with two red marks are also equal to each other. An angle with one red mark and an angle with two red marks adds up to 90 (or 180-90) because they are acute angles in a right triangle.
3c32cc8d-7479-44cf-ada6-52a8321fe1fd-image.png
Next, let x be the length of the diagonal. This is the hypotenuse of the 30-60-90 triangle! Because of this, we can identify the lengths of the rectangle as x/2 and x(√3)/2 using the ratio of 1, √3, 2. To find the area of the rectangle (which is equal to the area of the isosceles trapezoid), simply multiply the sides x/2 and x(√3)/2 which equals x²(√3)/4, the formula found in the video.
0eee0f16-c905-4e86-b419-ecd4d224feb6-image.png
Finally, set x²(√3)/4 equal to 36(√3).
Divide both sides by √3 to get
x²/4 = 36
Multiply both sides by 4 to get
x² = 144
Take the square root to get
x = 12
Since we set x as the diagonal of the trapezoid, the diagonal of the trapezoid is 12. | 677.169 | 1 |

Intro
Calculating the perimeter of a triangle has been a practice done through centuries. This tool aids in determining the measure of the boundary that encloses a given triangular shape. Here we delve into a brief history, the everyday life significance, common purposes of calculating triangle perimeters, and even interesting trivia.
Quick Summary:
The practice of measuring triangle perimeters dates back centuries and is a key concept in geometry.
Knowing the perimeter of a triangle is crucial not just in the academe, but also in ordinary life situations.
The reasons for computing the triangle's perimeter are numerous, from recreational purposes to practical applications.
There is some fascinating trivia about measuring triangle perimeters, like the variety in measurements and where they are commonly observed.
History of Measuring Perimeter of a Triangle
The history of measuring a triangle's perimeter is, essentially, the history of geometry itself. Egyptians were among the first civilizations to develop geometry, building their pyramids using principles we still use today – including the calculation of perimeters. Ancient Greeks, including Pythagoras, expanded our knowledge of geometry, exploring the relationships between the sides of a triangle.
Knowing the Perimeter of a Triangle in Everyday Life
Calculating the perimeter of a triangle possesses significance aside from its academic relevance. It's used in various practical situations such as determining the length of fencing needed for a triangular plot of land, calculating the journey's length around a triangular path, or even estimating the fabric length needed for a triangular piece of clothing.
Common Reasons to calculate the perimeter of a triangle
From everyday decisions to academic requirements, here's why you might need to calculate the perimeter of a triangle:
Landscaping: To know the quantity of fencing needed for a triangular garden.
Construction: To estimate materials for triangular structures.
Fabrication: For designing triangle-shaped goods like scarves.
Transportation: To map out vehicular paths on triangle-based road routes.
Do You Know?
The world's largest 'triangle', the Bermuda Triangle, covers approximately 1.5 million square miles, but its exact perimeter depends on its definition.
The smallest possible triangle perimeter is practically 0 – seen in degenerate triangles where all points are aligned.
Egypt's Great Pyramids rely on precisely computed triangle perimeters in their design.
The saying "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line" is exemplified by calculating triangle perimeters.
Triangles are the only geometric shape where knowing the lengths of all sides is enough to calculate the perimeter – no other info is needed.

Arc Length of a Circle: Learn the Proof!
In summary, the conversation discussed finding the arc length of a circle with a given radian and radius. The formula for finding the arc length is s = radian * radius, but it only works for radians and not degrees. To convert from degrees to radians, the formula is s = (pi/180) * theta * radius. The correct formula was corrected by one of the participants in the conversation.

Homework Statement
Today we went over finding the arc length s of a circle with a given radian and radius...
Thus s = radian*radius...
Thats easy to remember but I think it will be more memorable for the long run if I knew the proof and understood it... can some one please post a website where I can read the proof... or if some one could explain that would be nice to .
Thank you.
The arc length of the entire circle (its circumference) of radius r is [itex]2 \pi r[/itex]. IOW, the arc length associated with an angle of [itex]2 \pi[/itex] is [itex]2 \pi r[/itex]. Since the arc length is proportional to the angle between the two rays that subtend the arc, the arc length associated with an angle [itex]\theta[/itex] is [itex]\theta r[/itex].
So s = radius * (angle measure in radians).

That's correct. Alternately, you could use this formula:
[tex]s=\frac{180}{\pi} \theta r[/tex]
Where [itex]\theta[/itex] is measured in degrees.

Say 64 is the deg. w/ radius of 1
Then your saying I can multiply 180/pi*64*1
= 3666... that seems to big to be an arc length of radius 1
That's because the formula is wrong. It should be
[tex]s=\frac{\pi}{180} \theta r[/tex]

Its cool no big deal
1. What is the arc length of a circle?
The arc length of a circle is the distance along the circumference of the circle between two points on the circle, measured in linear units such as centimeters or inches.
2. How is the arc length of a circle calculated?
The arc length of a circle can be calculated using the formula s = rθ, where s is the arc length, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the central angle in radians.
3. Why is the arc length of a circle important?
The arc length of a circle is important because it helps in determining the distance traveled by an object moving along the circumference of a circle, such as the hands of a clock or a rotating wheel. It is also used in various real-world applications such as navigation and engineering.
4. Can the arc length of a circle be greater than the circumference?
No, the arc length of a circle cannot be greater than the circumference. The circumference is the distance around the entire circle, while the arc length is the distance between two points on the circle. Therefore, the circumference is always larger than the arc length.
5. How is the proof for the arc length of a circle derived?
The proof for the arc length of a circle can be derived using calculus, specifically by finding the limit of a sum of infinitely small line segments along the circumference of the circle. This leads to the formula s = rθ and shows the relationship between the arc length and the central angle in radians. | 677.169 | 1 |

How Do You Draw Line Segments, Lines, and Rays? We all are familiar with the terms line segments, rays, and lines. Most of the kids use these terms regularly without knowing the geometric definition of these terms.
Here we have briefly defined each of these terms and also discussed how to draw each of them.
Lines - Kids understand what a line is, but aren't familiar with the geometric definition of this term.
Geometrically, a line is a collection of points extending infinitely in two opposite directions. When we draw a line, we draw two arrowheads at both the ends, representing that a line extends infinitely in both directions
Segment - Unlike a line, the line segment has endpoints. Typically, a line segment is referred to as a small part of a line. A line segment features exact length and definite measurement. It has two endpoints, enclosing all the points of a line between them.
We typically use letters to denote the two endpoints of a line segment.
Rays - A ray features the characteristics of line segment and line. Like a line, ray has one end extending infinitely in one direction. And the other end, like a line segment, has an endpoint.
We start this section by simply drawing what is asked of us. You will be asked to draw lines which are infinite and carry on in opposite directions. A line segment is finite; on the other hand, they have two endpoints. A ray is a hybrid of these two. A ray has an endpoint and another end that goes on infinitely. You cannot measure a line or a ray, since they are infinite. We use this naming system to better understand systems. These worksheets explain how to draw lines, segments, and rays. Students will also learn the proper symbols to designate each, using given points for the labels. | 677.169 | 1 |

Expression for the area of a triangle, in terms of the sides.
221. Let the sides of the triangle ABC (Fig. 23.) be expressed by a, b, and c, the perpendicular CD by p, the segment AD by d, and the area by S.
Then a2bc2-2cd, (Euc. 13. 2.)
Transposing and dividing by 2c;
Reducing the fraction, (Alg. 150.) and extracting the root
of both sides,
(b2+c3—a2)2
4c2
This gives the length of the perpendicular, in terms of the sides of the triangle. But the area is equal to the product of the base into half the perpendicular height. (Alg. 518.) that is,
Here we have an expression for the area, in terms of the sides. But this may be reduced to a form much better adapted to arithmetical computation. It will be seen, that the quantities 46°c2, and (b2+c2—a2) are both squares; and that the whole expression under the radical sign is the difference of these squares. But the difference of two squares is equal to the product of the sum and difference of their roots. (Alg. 235.) Therefore, 4b c2 (b2+c2-a2) may be resolved into the two factors,
S 2bc+(b2+c2—a2) which is equal to (b+c)2—a2 2bc—(b3+c2—a2) which is equal to a2—(b——c)2
Each of these also, as will be seen in the expressions on the right, is the difference of two squares; and may, on the same principle, be resolved into factors, so that,
{
; (b+c)2—a2=(b+c+a)x(b+c—a) a2-(b- —c)2=(a+b—c)x(a−b+c)
Substituting, then, these four factors, in the place of the quantity which has been resolved into them, we have,
S=÷v(b+c+a)×(b+c—a)×(a+b—c)×(a−b+c
* The expression for the perpendicular is the same, when one of the angles is obtuse, as in Fig. 24. Let AD = d.
Then a2=b2+c2+2cd. (Euc. 12, 2.) And d=
—b2-c2+a2
2c
-(Alg.219.)
Here it will be observed, that all the three sides, a, b, and c, are in each of these factors.
Let h=(a+b+c) half the sum of the sides. Then
S=vh×(h—a)×(h—b)×(h—c)
222. For finding the area of a triangle, then, when the three sides are given, we have this general rule;
From half the sum of the sides, subtract each side severally; multiply together the half sum and the three remainders; and extract the square root of the product.

COMPUTATION OF THE CANON.
ART. 223. THE trigonometrical canon is a set of tables containing the sines, cosines, tangents, &c., to every degree and minute of the quadrant. In the computation of these tables, it is common to find, in the first place, the sine and cosine of one minute; and then, by successive additions and multiplications, the sines, cosines, &c., of the larger arcs. For this purpose, it will be proper to begin with an arc, whose sign or cosine is a known portion of the radius. The cosine of 60° is equal to half radius. (Art. 96. Cor.) A formula has been given, (Art. 210,) by which, when the cosine of an arc is known, the cosine of half that arc may be obtained.
Proceeding in this manner, by repeated extractions of the square root, we shall find the cosine of
0° 0' 52" 44"|| 3|||| 45|||| to be 0.99999996732
And the sine (Art. 94.)=v1-cos 2
0.00025566346
This, however, does not give the sine of one minute exactly. The arc is a little less than a minute. But the ratio of very small arcs to each other, is so nearly equal to the ratio of their sines, that one may be taken for the other, without sensible error. Now the circumference of a circle is divided into 21600 parts, for the arc of 1'; and into 24576, for the arc of 0° 0' 52" 44 3 45!!!!
Therefore,
21600 24576:: 0.00025566346 0.0002908882,
which is the sine of 1 minute very nearly.*
And the cosine =√1 —sin2 =0.9999999577.
224. Having computed the sine and cosine of one minute, we may proceed, in a contrary order, to find the sines and cosines of larger arcs.
Making radius=1, and adding the two first equations in art. 208, we have | 677.169 | 1 |

What are Corresponding Angles? Definition and Examples
What are corresponding angles? Corresponding angles are formed when a line, called transversal, cuts or intersects two or more lines.
In the figure below, line p shown in green is the transversal or the line that cuts or intersects two lines ( line m and line n ).
Here is how to identify corresponding angles
They are on the same side of the transversal
One is located inside the lines the transversal cuts or intersects.
The other is located outside the lines the transversal cuts or intersects.
Angle a and angle b are on the same side of the transversal or line p. Angle b is located inside line m and line n. Angle a is located outside line m and line n. Therefore, angle a and b are corresponding angles.
By the same token, angle c and angle d are on the same side of the transversal or line p. Angle c is is located inside line m and line n. Angle d is located outside line m and line n. Therefore, angle c and d are corresponding angles.
When a transversal intersects two lines, four pairs of corresponding angles will always be formed. | 677.169 | 1 |
