Subsections
Arc and Sector
The algebraic value of an arc is its lenght, the value of a sector
is its area.
Semicircle
- Semicircle[point A, point B]
- Semicircle above the segment AB.
CircularArc
- CircularArc[point M, point A, point B]
- Circular arc with midpoint M between two points A and B.
Note: point B does not have to lie on the arc.
CircumcircularArc
- CircumcircularArc[point, point, point]
- Circular arc through three points
Arc
- Arc[conic c, point A, point B]
- Conic section arc between two points A and B on the conic
section c (circle or ellipse)
- Arc[conic c, number t1, number t2]
- Conic section arc between two parameter values t1 and t2
for the following parameter forms:
- circle: (r cos(t), r sin(t)), where r is the circle's radius
- ellipse: (a cos(t), b sin(t)), where a and b are the lengths of the first and second axis
CircularSector
- CircularSector[point M, point A, point B]
- Circular sector with midpoint M between two points A and B.
Note: point B does not have to lie on the arc.
CircumcircularSector
- CircumcircularSector[point, point, point]
- Circular sector through three points
Sector
- Sector[conic c, point A, point B]
- Conic section sector between two points A and B on the conic
section c (circle or ellipse)
- Sector[conic c, number t1, number t2]
- Conic section sector between two parameter values t1 and t2
for the following parameter forms:
- circle: (r cos(t), r sin(t)), where r is the circle's radius
- ellipse: (a cos(t), b sin(t)), where a and b are the lengths of the first and second axis
