need help with geometry

[DarkManX]

what is it called when theres a circle inside another circle? something eccentric?

Are you thinking of Concentric?

amish

 

[Killbat]

And why are you doing geometry now?

 

[duragezic]

inscribed?

edit: Goes to show how much I remember and I was just in geometry this past year.

 

[Scrapster]

Annulus

The figure bounded by and containing the area between two concentric circles.

It's just like a doughnut.

 

[pulpp]

donut?

no concentric means with a common center, thats not what im looking for. Just a circle within a circle. thanks.

 

[Scrapster]

donut?

Same thing.

 

[Electric Amish]

I've never heard a term for that, that I can recall.

amish

 

[IcemanJer]

No, inscribed is when a polygon is inside a circle, but with the vertices on the circle.

 

[RossGr]

All this talk of dounuts had made me hungry!

Did you know that a topologist is a mathematician who cannot tell the difference between a cup of coffee and a dounut?

If you don't want concentric, then annulus would be the word for the the region between to concentric circles.

 

[DarkManX]

whats the definnition of eccentric then?

 

[Einz]

isn't it cocentric?

 

[thEnEuRoMancER]

The center points of two eccentric circles don't coincide. The center points of two concentric circles coincide.

not in the dictionary
