Questions tagged [euclidean-geometry]
Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these.

How many Tverberg partition are in cloud of points?
Tverberg's Theorem: A collection of $(d+1)(r-1) +1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can always be partitioned into $r$ parts whose convex hulls intersect.
For example, $d=2$, $r=3$, 7 points:
Let $p_1, p_2,...

What's the number of facets of a $d$-dimensional cyclic polytope?
A face of a convex polytope $P$ is defined as
$P$ itself, or
a subset of $P$ of the form $P\cap h$, where $h$ is a hyperplane such that $P$ is fully contained in one of the closed half-spaces ...

If we know the combinatorics of a polyhedron, and all but one of its dihedral angles, does that uniquely determine the remaining dihedral angle?
If we know the combinatorics of a polyhedron, and all but one of its dihedral angles, does that uniquely determine the remaining dihedral angle?
I’m happy to assume the polyhedron is simply connected, ...

Does the sequence formed by Intersecting angle bisector in a pentagon converge?
I asked this question on MSE here.
Given a non-regular pentagon $A_1B_1C_1D_1E_1$ with no two adjacent angle having a sum of 360 degrees, from the pentagon $A_nB_nC_nD_nE_n$ construct the pentagon $...

Is the formula known? and can we generalized for higher dimensions?
In this configuration as follows, we have a nice formula:
$$\cos(\varphi)=\frac{OF.OE+OB.OC}{OF.OB+OE.OC}$$
Is the formula known? and can we generalized for higher dimensions?

Convergence of sequences formed by orthocenters, incenters, and centroids in repeated triangle constructions
I asked this question on MSE here.
Given a scalene triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ , construct a triangle $A_{n+1}B_{n+1}C_{n+1}$ from the triangle $A_nB_nC_n$ where $A_{n+1}$ is the orthocenter of $A_nB_nC_n$, ...

In how many ways is it possible to order the sides and diagonals according to their length for all n-gons?
If we'd do it for example for 4-gons, for quadrilaterals, we could start with all the possible quadrilaterals.
We could say that the four vertices are a,b,c and d.
And then we'd have 6 lines, I mean,
