Borromean Rings by Jose Manuel Arranz
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the construction and properties of Borromean rings, a fascinating geometric figure. It involves core mathematical concepts such as coordinate geometry, parametric equations, and geometric transformations. The construction uses the CurveCartesian command and involves objects like a, b, α, c, d, e, v, w, controlled by sliders and buttons. It is suitable for high school and above students studying coordinate geometry, parametric equations, and transformations.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a Borromean ring consisting of three interlocked loops using parametric equations. Start by drawing a circle centered at the origin, then transform it into three interlocking loops through translation and rotation, ensuring they are not directly connected but form a closed structure. Adjust parameters a and b to change the size of the loops, and use slider α to control the range.
