Sentences with PLANIMETRY (5)
See Plane, a.] Defn: Combining forms signifying flat, level, plane; as planifolious, planimetry, plano-concave.
For example, suppose the circumference of a circle were exactly 3-1/7 times greater than its diameter; then the diameter could be divided into seven equal parts, which could be easily done by the principles of planimetry with ruler and compasses; then we would produce to the amount of such a part a straight line exactly three times larger than the diameter, and should thus obtain a straight line exactly equal to the circumference of the circle.
But every triangle, as is taught in the elements of planimetry, can, with the help of ruler and compasses be converted into a square exactly equal to it in area.
The question next arises as to what problems may be properly regarded as fundamental; and it has been found, that the solution of a great part of the problems that arise in elementary planimetry rests upon the solution of only five original problems.
Since, accordingly, geometry does not itself furnish the solution of these five problems, but rather exacts them, they are termed _postulates_.[51] All problems of planimetry are not reducible to these five problems alone.
