Dividing a circle into areas "F" can also be derived, which will solve the problem. Its vertices include the "n" points on the circle, referred to as the exterior vertices, as well as the interior vertices, the intersections of distinct chords in the interior of the circle. The "generic intersection" assumption made above guarantees that each interior vertex is the intersection of no more than two chords. Thus the main task in determining "V" is finding the number of interior vertices. As a consequence of the lemma, any two intersecting chords will uniquely determine an interior vertex. These chords are in turn uniquely determined by
Area of a circle value of formula_72 at x. A spherical circle is the set of points a geodesic distance "R" from the zenith point z. Equivalently, with a fixed embedding into formula_73, the spherical circle of radius formula_74 centered at z is the set of x in formula_64 such that formula_76. We can also measure the area of the spherical disk enclosed within a spherical circle, using the intrinsic surface area measure on the sphere. The area of the disk of radius "R" is then given by More generally, if a sphere formula_78 has radius of curvature formula_79, then the area of the
