A papal cross is a cross having three crossbars. A schematic polyomino version of a papal cross is illustrated above.

For a parabola oriented vertically and opening upwards, the vertex is the point where the curve reaches a minimum.

Mark a point P on a side of a triangle and draw the perpendiculars from the point to the two other sides. The line between the feet of these two perpendiculars is called the ...

A 15-sided polygon, sometimes also called the pentakaidecagon. For a regular pentadecagon with side length 1, the inradius r, circumradius R, and area A are r = ...

A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. Several special types of pentagons are illustrated above. In particular, a pentagon with vertices equally spaced around a circle and with ...

The smallest radial distance of an ellipse as measured from a focus. Taking v=0 in the equation of an ellipse r=(a(1-e^2))/(1+ecosv) gives the periapsis distance r_-=a(1-e). ...

A curve composed exclusively of circular arcs.

A pivot point of a curve is a fixed point Q such that points P lying on the curve and their (isogonal, isotomic, etc.) conjugates are collinear with Q.

If a circular pizza is divided into 8, 12, 16, ... slices by making cuts at equal angles from an arbitrary point, then the sums of the areas of alternate slices are equal. ...

Members of a coaxal system satisfy x^2+y^2+2lambdax+c=(x+lambda)^2+y^2+c-lambda^2=0 for values of lambda. Picking lambda^2=c then gives the two circles (x+/-sqrt(c))^2+y^2=0 ...
