Let ABCD be a quadrilateral with perpendicular polygon diagonals. The midpoints of the sides (a, b, c, and d) determine a parallelogram (the Varignon parallelogram) with ...

The intersection of an ellipse centered at the origin and semiaxes of lengths a and b oriented along the Cartesian axes with a line passing through the origin and point ...

For an ellipse given by the parametric equations x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) the catacaustic is a complicated expression for generic radiant point (x_r,y_r). However, it ...

Consider the family of ellipses (x^2)/(c^2)+(y^2)/((1-c)^2)-1=0 (1) for c in [0,1]. The partial derivative with respect to c is -(2x^2)/(c^3)+(2y^2)/((1-c)^3)=0 (2) ...

Relates evolutes to single paths in the calculus of variations. Proved in the general case by Darboux and Zermelo in 1894 and Kneser in 1898. It states: "When a single ...

A 1-cusped epicycloid has b=a, so n=1. The radius measured from the center of the large circle for a 1-cusped epicycloid is given by epicycloid equation (◇) with n=1 so r^2 = ...

The inverse curve of the epispiral r=asec(ntheta) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is the rose curve r=(kcos(ntheta))/a.

A polygon whose vertex angles are equal (Williams 1979, p. 32).

An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose edges are all of equal length (Williams 1979, pp. 31-32). The most prominent examples of equilateral polygons are the regular ...

The Euler infinity point is the intersection of the Euler line and line at infinity. Since it lies on the line at infinity, it is a point at infinity. It has triangle center ...
