A class of map projections in which the parallels are represented by a system of non-concentric circular arcs with centers lying on the straight line representing the central ...

A polyform of 30-60-90 triangles. The name was coined by Ed Pegg, Jr. because of the 30-60-90 triangle's use in mechanical drawing and drafting. The Eternity puzzle is based ...

A plane figure or solid compound consisting of multiple connected copies of a given base shape. For example, affixing n equal squares gives an n-polyomino, while affixing n ...

The (signed) area of a planar non-self-intersecting polygon with vertices (x_1,y_1), ..., (x_n,y_n) is A=1/2(|x_1 x_2; y_1 y_2|+|x_2 x_3; y_2 y_3|+...+|x_n x_1; y_n y_1|), ...

A polygonal diagonal is a line segment connecting two nonadjacent polygon vertices of a polygon. The number of ways a fixed convex n-gon can be divided into triangles by ...

The problem of polygon intersection seeks to determine if two polygons intersect and, if so, possibly determine their intersection. For example, the intersection of the two ...

The length of the polygonal spiral is found by noting that the ratio of inradius to circumradius of a regular polygon of n sides is r/R=(cot(pi/n))/(csc(pi/n))=cos(pi/n). (1) ...

A regular polygram {n/k} is generalization of a (regular) polygon on n sides (i.e., an n-gon) obtained by connecting every ith vertex around a circle with every (i+k)th, ...

An n-he (a term coined by Brendan Owen) is a shape formed from a polyhex by removing half of each hexagon in such a way that the remaining pieces are connected (Clarke). The ...

The geometric centroid of a polyhedron composed of N triangular faces with vertices (a_i,b_i,c_i) can be computed using the curl theorem as x^_ = ...
