What is the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
How do you find a segment bisector?
Adjust a compass so the distance between the point and the pencil is more than half of the length of the segment. With the point at one end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the segment. Without adjusting the compass, with the point at the other end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the first arc at two places. The line that includes those two intersecting points is the perpendicular bisector.
Is it possible to bisect any given angle using only a straightedge and a compas?
Yes Set the compass at a reasonable width. Put the point of the compass on the point of the angle. Draw an arc on each arm of the angle. With the point of the compass on where one arc intersects one arm of the angle, draw a further arc between the arms of the angle (roughly in the middle). With the point of the compass on the other arc-arm intersection, draw another arc to intersect this just drawn arc. With a straight edge join this intersection to the point of the angle - this line bisects the angle.
A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arc's radius is said to be?
tangent
What is a 180 degree?
Taking a straight line/ Place a POINT on that straight line. Sweep an arc from one side of the point to the other side of the point. That arc is 180 degrees.
What are the proper steps for constructing an angle bisector?
Suppose you need to bisect angle PQR using only a pair of compasses and a straight edge:Draw an arc with the point of the compass at Q so the arc QP at X and QR at Y.Draw an arc with the point of the compass at X so that the arc is between the arms of the angle and extends to more than halfway across.Without changing the compass setting, draw an arc with the point of the compass at Y so that this arc intersects the previous arc at Z.Using the straight edge, draw the line QZ: this is the bisector of angle PQR.
Who would win in deadliest warrior - William the Conqueror or Joan of Arc?
Joan of Arc was victorious in the hyopothetical battle. Her superior armor tookt he day.
Can a radius also be a chord?
No. Because a radius extends from the arc to the point. Chord extends from one point of the arc to another.
Part of the circumference of a circle is called?
An arc. The arc covering less than half the circumference is called a minor arc; the arc covering more than half is called a major arc.
What is a made shot behind the three point arc in basketball?
No matter where you shoot from, after the three point arc it just counts as a three pointer.
What is geometric mean radius?
The radius is the distance between the centre of a circular arc and a point on the arc.
