Dual quadrangles in the plane

Metric Geometry 2019-11-22 v1

Abstract

We consider quadrangles of perimeter 22 in the plane with marked directed edge. To such quadrangle QQ a two-dimensional plane ΠR4\Pi\in\mathbb{R}^4 with orthonormal base is corresponded. Orthogonal plane Π\Pi^\bot defines a plane quadrangle QQ^\circ of perimeter 22 and with marked directed edge. This quadrangle is defined uniquely (up to rotation and symmetry). Quadrangles QQ and QQ^\circ will be called dual to each other. The following properties of duality are proved: a) duality preserves convexity, non convexity and self-intersection; b) duality preserves the length of diagonals; c) the sum of lengths of corresponding edges in QQ and QQ^\circ is 11.
