01 Rectangle of maximum perimeter inscribed in a circle
Problem 01
Find the shape of the rectangle of maximum perimeter inscribed in a circle.
03 Area Inside the Cardioid r = a(1 + cos θ) but Outside the Circle r = a
Example 3
Find the area inside the cardioid r = a(1 + cos θ) but outside the circle r = a.
The Circle
The following are short descriptions of the circle shown below.
Secant - is a line that would pass through two points on the circle.
Chord - is a secant that would terminate on the circle itself.
Diameter, d - is a chord that passes through the center of the circle.
Radius, r - is one-half of the diameter.
