Question 134386: How many times might a circle and a square intersect?
Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First we know that, by definition, a is a plane with from its radius and a is a with .
there were , then these two figures would intersect each other times because a circle is a set of all points on the plane.
Can a circle and square intersect in exactly one point?
I think that it is certainly possible to have a circle and square intersect in one point, and furthermore, I think this can happen in three main ways:
If the square is outside the circle:
- a case of 1 side tangential
- case of 1 corner touching
-if the square is outside the circle: in this case, we only can have 1 corner touching
Can a circle and square intersect in exactly two points?
I do think we can intersect a square with a circle in exactly two points, and I have determined there to be four main ways:
-if three vertices inside the circle
-if two vertices inside the circle
-if one vertex inside the circle
-if no vertices inside the circle
Can a square and a circle intersect in exactly points for each = , , ...,……
If you analyze these cases, you will see that only possible solutions are that a square and circle can intersect in ,,, or times-depends on the size and position of the shapes.
