Side 3 - A circle is a plane figure contained by one line, which is called the circumference, and is such, that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within the figure to the circumference are equal to one another : 16.
Side 3 - A diameter of a circle is a straight line drawn through the centre, and terminated both ways by the circumference. XVIII. A semicircle is the figure contained by a diameter and the part of the circumference cut off by the diameter. XIX. "A segment of a circle is the figure contained by a straight line, and the circumference it cuts off.
Side 3 - ... OF THE CIRCLE. A circle contains a greater area than any other plane figure bounded by the same length of circumference or outline. A circle is a plane figure contained by one line and is such that all straight lines drawn from a point within the figure to the circumference are equal, and this point is called the center of the circle. A diameter of a circle is a straight line drawn through the center and terminated both ways by the circumference, as AC in Fig.
Side 15 - ... in which they affect the eye of the observer, under varying conditions : in the latter, it enables us to make representations of visible objects that shall affect the eye in the same manner as the objects themselves would, if viewed from a certain fixed point. " Perspective is the art of drawing on a plane the appearances of any figures by the rules of geometry. "In order to understand the principles of this art, we must consider that a picture painted in its utmost degree of perfection, ought...
Side 1 - A straight line, or right line, is that which lies evenly between its extreme points ; or, as defined by Archimedes, it is the shortest distance between two AB points, as A B.
