The semiminor axis (also called the minor semi-axis, minor semiaxis, or minor radius) of an ellipse (or related figure) is half its extent along the shorter of the two ...

An algebraic curve of degree six. Examples include the astroid, atriphtaloid, Cayley's sextic, cornoid, cycloid of Ceva, dumbbell curve, ellipse evolute, epicycloid, Freeth's ...

The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula, the shoelace algorithm, shoelace method, or surveyor's formula, is a name sometimes given to the polygon area ...

Two triangles are similar if their triples of vertex angles are the same.

Two figures are homothetic if they are related by a dilation (a dilation is also known as a homothecy). This means that the connectors of corresponding points are concurrent ...

If a line L is the Simson line of a point P on the circumcircle of a triangle, then P is called the pole of L (Honsberger 1995, p. 128).

The inverse curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a^(1/n)[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is another sinusoidal spiral ...

The pedal curve of a sinusoidal spiral r=a[cos(nt)]^(1/n) with pedal point at the center is another sinusoidal spiral with polar equation r=a[cos(nt)]^(1+1/n). A few examples ...

A spherical polyhedron is set of arcs on the surface of a sphere corresponding to the projections of the edges of a polyhedron. The images above illustrate the spherical ...

A perimeter-bisecting line segment which originates at a vertex of a polygon. The three splitters of a triangle concur in a point known as the Nagel point Na.
