📐 Locus of the Midpoint of the Axis Intercepts of a Tangent to an Ellipse
A and B are the moving axis intercepts of the tangent.
P is their midpoint, tracing out the locus as the tangent moves around the ellipse.

📐 Why does every point on an ellipse satisfy
PS + PS′ = 2a?
This geometric proof uses the foci, directrices, eccentricity and a detail often skipped in proofs: handling absolute values correctly. 🔍

📐 How can the hyperboloid x² + y² = 1 + z² be parametrised?
Start with half a hyperbola in ℝ³, then rotate it through 360° about the z-axis.
The result:
(sec u cos v, sec u sin v, tan u)ᵀ

For the hyperbola
x²/a² − y²/b² = 1
derive the tangent equation
ay sinh t + ab = bx cosh t
from the parametrisation x = a cosh t, y = b sinh t.

📐 New proof on Geometry Insights
Why does
sin u < u < tan u
hold for 0 < u < π/2?
Using a unit circle, two triangles and a sector, the inequality falls straight out of geometry. 🔵📏
