[ adjective ] (geometry) at an angle; especially connecting two nonadjacent corners of a plane figure or any two corners of a solid that are not in the same face
Examples "a diagonal line across the page" Used in print (R. P. Jerrard, "Inscribed squares in plane curves"...)For any such square the middle corner of these will be called the vertex of the square and the corner not on the curve will be called the diagonal point of the square . Each point on C , as a vertex , may possess a finite number of corresponding diagonal points by the above construction . To each paired vertex and diagonal point there corresponds a unique forward corner point , i.e. , the corner on C reached first by proceeding along C from the vertex in the direction of increasing t . We must now show that on some component of the graph there exist two points for which the corresponding diagonal points in the C-plane are on opposite sides of C . Related terms |
