Formoncentric

Formoncentric is a term used in geometry to describe objects that share a common center point. This concept applies to a variety of shapes, most commonly circles, spheres, and polygons. When shapes are formoncentric, their central points are coincident, meaning they occupy the exact same location in space.

For example, concentric circles are circles that share the same center. This means that if you draw several circles with the same central point but different radii, they are considered formoncentric. The same principle applies to spheres. Concentric spheres have their centers at the same point.

The term can also extend to polygons, though it is less frequently used in this context. Concentric polygons, such as squares or triangles, would have their geometric centers aligned. This arrangement often leads to interesting properties regarding their relative positions and areas. The study of formoncentric shapes is fundamental in understanding spatial relationships and is applied in various fields including design, engineering, and physics.
