spread

suppose l1 , 12 intersect @ point a. let c foot of perpendicular b 12. spread s = q/r.



spread gives 1 measure separation of 2 lines single dimensionless number in range [0,1] (from parallel perpendicular) euclidean geometry. replaces concept of angle has several differences angle, discussed in section below. spread can have several interpretations.



trigonometric (most elementary): sine ratio quadrances in right triangle (left) , therefore equivalent square of sine of angle. viewing side ac part of unit diameter of circle , considering similar triangles (right), spread measured exterior segment, equal 1 half times (1 minus cosine of central angle), twice angle @ a, , haversine.


vector: rational function of relative directions (or slopes) of pair of lines meet.


cartesian: rational function of 3 co-ordinates used ascribe 2 vectors.


linear algebra (from dot product): normalized rational function: square of determinant of 2 vectors (or pair of intersecting lines) divided product of quadrances.

trigonometric

suppose 2 lines, l1 , l2, intersect @ point shown @ right. choose point b ≠ on l1 , let c foot of perpendicular b l2. spread s is

{\displaystyle s(\ell _{1},\ell _{2})={\frac {q(b,c)}{q(a,b)}}={\frac {q}{r}}.}



vector/slope (two-variable)

like angle, spread depends on relative slopes of 2 lines (constant terms being eliminated) , invariant under translation (i.e. preserved when lines moved keeping parallel themselves). given 2 lines equations are








a

y

and

x

b

y
=

{\displaystyle a_{1}x+b_{1}y={\text{constant}}\qquad {\text{and}}\qquad a_{2}x+b_{2}y={\text{constant}}}



we may rewrite them 2 lines meet @ origin (0, 0) equations

{\displaystyle a_{1}x+b_{1}y=0\qquad {\text{and}}\qquad a_{2}x+b_{2}y=0}



in position point (−b1, a1) satisfies first equation , (−b2, a2) satisfies second , 3 points (0, 0), (−b1, a1) , (−b2, a2) forming spread give 3 quadrances:

the cross law – see below – in terms of spread is

{\displaystyle 1-s={\frac {(q_{1}+q_{2}-q_{3})^{2}}{4q_{1}q_{2}}}.}



which becomes:

{\displaystyle 1-s={\frac {\left(a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}-(b_{1}-b_{2})^{2}-(a_{1}-a_{2})^{2}\right)^{2}}{4\left(a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}\right)\left(a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}\right)}}.}



this simplifies, in numerator, (2a1a2 + 2b1b2), giving:

(note: 1 − s expression cross, square of cosine of either angle between pair of lines or vectors, gives name cross law.)

in form (and in cartesian equivalent follows) spread ratio of square of determinant of 2 vectors (numerator) product of quadrances (denominator)

this replaces (−b1, a1) (x1, y1), (−b2, a2) (x2, y2) , origin (0, 0) (as point of intersection of 2 lines) (x3, y3) in previous result:

spread compared angle

the spread of 2 lines can measured in 4 equivalent positions.


unlike angle, can define relationship between rays emanating point, circular measure parametrization, , pair of lines can considered 4 pairs of rays, forming 4 angles, spread more fundamental in rational trigonometry, describing 2 lines single measure of rational function (see above). being equivalent square of sine of corresponding angle θ (and haversine of chord-based double-angle Δ = 2θ), spread of both angle , supplementary angle equal.



spread not proportional, however, separation between lines angle be; spreads of 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, , 1 corresponding unevenly spaced angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° , 90°.


instead, (recalling supplementary property) 2 equal, co-terminal spreads determine third spread, value solution of triple spread formula triangle (or 3 concurrent lines) spreads of s, s , r:

or


r

s
(

s
)


{\displaystyle r=0\quad ({\text{trivial}})\qquad {\text{or}}\qquad r=4s(1-s)}



this equivalent trigonometric identity :

sin

θ

(

sin

)



{\displaystyle \sin ^{2}(2\theta )=4\sin ^{2}\theta \left(1-\sin ^{2}\theta \right)}



of angles θ, θ , 180° − 2θ of triangle, using

(

=
r
(
s
)


{\displaystyle s_{2}(s)=s_{2}\left(\sin ^{2}\theta \right)=\sin ^{2}(2\theta )=r(s)}



to denote second spread polynomial in s.


tripling spreads likewise involves triangle (or 3 concurrent lines) 1 spread of r (the previous solution), 1 spread of s , obtaining third spread polynomial, t in s. turns out be:

{\displaystyle s_{3}(s)=s(3-4s)^{2}=t(s)}



further multiples of basic spread of lines can generated continuing process using triple spread formula.


every multiple of spread rational rational, converse not apply. example, half-angle formula, 2 lines meeting @ 15° (or 165°) angle have spread of:

{\displaystyle \operatorname {hav} \left(30^{\circ }\right)=\sin ^{2}\left({\frac {30^{\circ }}{2}}\right)={\frac {1-\cos 30^{\circ }}{2}}={\frac {1-{\frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}}}{2}}={\frac {2-{\sqrt {3}}}{4}}\approx 0.0667.}



and exists algebraic extension of rational numbers.
