A circle which is tangent to two perpendicular lines |
2014-03-09 |
|
From MJ:
I'm a College Student taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education on Math Subject.
And I'm struggling for my research about Circles. I done solving the said topic particularly on this question:
"What are the possible equations of a circle being tangent to a pair of perpendicular lines, having the origin as the Point of Intersection and the C (h, k), where h, k ∈ℤ"
But I can't get what would be the process that I must do in order to jive to my idea/goal for that problem.
Please check my idea that the numerical coefficients of the equation is equal to the radius of the circle.
Thanks in advance! :)

From Gary:
Which of the 4 points are collinear when you construct the following concurrent lines or rays of a triangle? - P(1), the point where the angle bisectors intersect.
- P(2), the point where the altitudes (or extensions) intersect (inside or outside of the triangle).
- P(3), the point where the medians intersect.
- P(4), the point where the perpendicular bisectors (or extensions) of the three sides of a triangle intersect.
This is for my 9-12 high school class in geometry.
My name is Gary
Thanks for your help.

Intersection of perpendicular cylindrical surfaces |
2001-07-31 |
|
From Charlie:
Please consider two right circular cylinders, perpendicular one to the other, and of unlike radii in a 3 dimensional Cartesian space with mutually perpendicular x,y,z axes. If one cylinder is centered on the y axis with radius ra, and the other on the z axis with radius rb, then the expression for the first surface would be x2 + z2 = ra2, y = any number. Likewise, the second cylinder's surface would be x2 + y2 = rb2, z = any number. It is my intent to define the curve at the intersection of these two cylindrical surfaces. From sketching the conditions it appears that this intersection resembles an ellipse folded about its minor axis.
