Chapter 2 Calculation and Drawing of Elementary Geometric Figures

 

Geometric figures are abstracted from the real world, so the theory, calculation and drawing of geometric figures are widely used in people's social practice .

This chapter focuses on two types of commonly used geometric figures: one is plane figures, such as triangles, quadrilaterals, regular polygons and various figures related to circles; the other is spatial three-dimensional figures, such as cubes, cuboids, spheres, cones, cylinders And various regular polyhedrons . The calculation formulas of their area, volume, side area, surface area, center of gravity and moment of inertia are collected in more detail here .

In addition, the drawing methods of some figures (such as regular polygons) are also introduced, and the ellipse drawing method and the arc lofting method commonly used in production practice are also briefly explained . The so-called "three major problems of geometry" that have been strictly proved cannot be drawn with rulers and compass .

 

§ 1    Triangles and quadrilaterals

 

First,  the calculation of the elements of the triangle

 


   1. Elements of a triangle

             Figure 2.1                           Figure 2.2

a, b, c are the three sides of the triangle and R is the radius of the circumcircle                

A , B, C are the three angles r is the radius of the inscribed circle   

AD is the height on the a side and H is the vertical center (the intersection of the three heights)            

AF is the bisector of angle A and G is the center of gravity (the intersection of the three medians)           

AE is the center line on the side of a (the intersection of the three angle bisectors)           

is the half perimeter as the circumcentre (the intersection of three perpendicular bisectors)       

S is the area of
