Summary

Description

Geometrical construction diagram for Vesica Piscis figure, formed by the intersection of two circles of the same radius, where each circle's center is on the circumference of the other circle.

  • Black: Vesica Piscis figure itself
  • Light blue: Claimed "fishtail" extensions (when it is desired to approximate the Vesica Piscis to an Ichthys )
  • Light red: Two equilateral triangles formed by drawing straight lines between the centers of the two circles, and between the circle centers and the points of intersection of the circles.
