Read MoreConcentric Circles
In geometry, 2 or more objects are said to be concentric, coaxial, or coaxal when they share the same axis or center. Circles, regular polygons, regular polyhedra, spheres, and cylinders may be concentric to one another (sharing the same center point). Definition of Concentric Circles Concentric Circles are 2 or more circles which have same center point. They fit inside each … Continue reading "Concentric Circles"
Read MoreSets Theory
A set is a collection of distinct objects, considered as an object in its own right. For example, the numbers 1, 3, and 5 are distinct objects when considered separately, but when they are considered collectively they form a single set of size three, written {1, 3, 5}. The concept of a set is one … Continue reading "Sets Theory"

Mass: how much matter is in an object. We measure mass by weighing, but Weight and Mass are not really the same thing. The most common measurements: Grams Kilograms Tonnes Grams Grams are written as g (for short), so 250 g = 250 grams Kilograms 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams Kilograms are written as kg … Continue reading "Metric Mass (Weight)"
