Webb4 sep. 2024 · is called the complex cross-ratio of u, v, w, and z; it is denoted by (u, v; w, z). If one of the numbers u, v, w, z is ∞, then the complex cross-ratio has to be defined by taking the appropriate limit; in other words, we assume that ∞ ∞ = 1. For example, (u, v; w, ∞) = … WebbTheorem: The cross ratio of four lines of a pencil equals the cross ratio of their points of intersection with an arbitrary fifth line transversal to the pencil (i.e. not through the pencil's centre) -- see fig. 3.1. In fact, we already know that the cross ratios of the intersection points must be the same for any two transversal lines, since ...
Ptolemy
WebbA wonder of wonders: the great Ptolemy's theorem is a consequence (helped by a 19 th century invention) of a simple fact that UV + VW = UW, where U, V, W are collinear with V between U and W. For the reference sake, Ptolemy's theorem reads. Let a convex … WebbIn Section 2, we give a short proof of Theorem 1 using cross-ratios and establish a link with the butter y theorem and its projective generalization. Section 3 interprets Theorem 1 in terms of hyperbolic and M obius geometry, reproves and generalizes it. Both approaches to Theorem 1 are quite common and belong to the folk- charpentier jonathan

We prove that the well known Ceva and Menelaus’ theorems are both particular cases of a single theorem of projective geometry. Webb3) Prove Ptolemy’s theorem using the fact that the cross-ratio of four complex numbers is real if and only if the points lie on a circle. 4) Let Cbe a circle with center at a∈C and radius R>0. For any complex number z, let z∗ denote its symmetric point with respect to C. Prove Ptolemy’s theorem using the fact that for any two complex ... current time in clock form
