Family of Curves
A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…
XZ Plane
In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…
Euclidean Geometry
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…
Lines and Angles
In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

(ii)
A convex polygon is said to be regular if all of its sides have the same length and all angles between sides are the same. Let Pr denote the regular convex n-sided polygon. Thus, P3 is the equilateral triangle, P₁ is the square, P is the pentagon etc. Compute a formula for the size of any internal angle of Pn.
+ Recall that a map, f: R2 R², is an isometry if |P-Q| = |ƒ(P) — ƒ (Q) for all pairs of points P and Q in R². Thus, f is a distance preserving map. Show that an isometry, f: R² → R² also preserves angles. In other words if two line segments meeting at a point determine an angle a, their image line segments meeting at the image of that point also determine the angle a.
