Trisectrix — In geometry, a trisectrix is a curve which can be used to trisect an arbitrary angle. Such a method falls outside those allowed by compass and straightedge constructions, so they do not contradict the well known theorem which states that an… … Wikipedia
Trisectrix of Maclaurin — In geometry, the trisectrix of Maclaurin is a cubic plane curve defined by the equation in polar coordinates:r= a frac{sin 3 heta}{sin 2 heta} = {a over 2} frac{4 cos^2 heta 1} {cos heta} = {a over 2} (4 cos heta sec heta). In Cartesian… … Wikipedia
