Unity :: Unity (n.) Any definite quantity, or aggregate of quantities or magnitudes taken as one, or for which 1 is made to stand in calculation; thus, in a table of natural sines, the radius of the circle is regarded as unity..

Radius :: Radius (n.) Radiating organs, or color-markings, of the radiates..

Secant :: Secant (a.) A right line drawn from the center of a circle through one end of a circular arc, and terminated by a tangent drawn from the other end; the number expressing the ratio line of this line to the radius of the circle. See Trigonometrical function, under Function..

Radio- :: Radio- () A combining form indicating connection with, or relation to, a radius or ray; specifically (Anat.), with the radius of the forearm; as, radio-ulnar, radio-muscular, radio-carpal..

Ray :: Ray (n.) A radiating part of a flower or plant; the marginal florets of a compound flower, as an aster or a sunflower; one of the pedicels of an umbel or other circular flower cluster; radius. See Radius..

Radius Vector :: Radius vector (n.) An ideal straight line joining the center of an attracting body with that of a body describing an orbit around it, as a line joining the sun and a planet or comet, or a planet and its satellite..

Radius :: Radius (n.) The preaxial bone of the forearm, or brachium, corresponding to the tibia of the hind limb. See Illust. of Artiodactyla..

Ulna :: Ulna (n.) The postaxial bone of the forearm, or branchium, corresponding to the fibula of the hind limb. See Radius..

Apsis :: Apsis (n.) In a curve referred to polar coordinates, any point for which the radius vector is a maximum or minimum..

Hanse :: Hanse (n.) That part of an elliptical or many-centered arch which has the shorter radius and immediately adjoins the impost.

Radius :: Radius (n.) A ray, or outer floret, of the capitulum of such plants as the sunflower and the daisy. See Ray, 2..

Radius :: Radius (n.) The movable limb of a sextant or other angular instrument.

Hypotrochoid :: Hypotrochoid (n.) A curve, traced by a point in the radius, or radius produced, of a circle which rolls upon the concave side of a fixed circle. See Hypocycloid, Epicycloid, and Trochoid..

Radiuses :: Radiuses (pl. ) of Radiu.

Semidiameter :: Semidiameter (n.) Half of a diameter; a right line, or the length of a right line, drawn from the center of a circle, a sphere, or other curved figure, to its circumference or periphery; a radius..

Eccentric :: Eccentric (n.) A circle described about the center of an elliptical orbit, with half the major axis for radius..

Radius Vector :: Radius vector () A straight line (or the length of such line) connecting any point, as of a curve, with a fixed point, or pole, round which the straight line turns, and to which it serves to refer the successive points of a curve, in a system of polar coordinates. See Coordinate, n..

Radius :: Radius (n.) A right line drawn or extending from the center of a circle to the periphery; the semidiameter of a circle or sphere.
