The nodal circle which bisects the
angle between the line drawn from any
point on a cardioid to the cusp and the
nodal circle through the point which
cuts the director circle orthogonally,
is a tangent circle at that point.
The latus rectum of a parabola is equal
to four times the distance from the
focus to the vertex.
The latus rectum of a cardioid is equal
to its length on the axis.
If a tangent to a parabola cut the axis
produced, the points of contact and of
intersection are equally distant from
the focus.
If a nodal tangent circle cut the
axis of a cardioid, the points of
intersection and of tangency are
equally distant from the cusp.
If a perpendicular be drawn from the
focus to any tangent to a parabola, the
point of intersection will be on the
vertical tangent.
If a nodal circle be drawn tangent to a
cardioid, the diameter of such circle
passing through the cusp will be a
common chord of this circle and another
described on the axis of the cardioid
as diameter.
The directrix of a parabola is the
locus of the intersection of tangents
that cut at right angles.
The base circle is the locus of the
intersection of nodal circles tangent
to a cardioid, which cut orthogonally.
The circle described on any focal chord
of a parabola as diameter will touch
the directrix.
The circle described an any nodal chord
of a cardioid as diameter will be
tangent to the base circle.
The locus of a point from which two
normals to a parabola can be drawn
making complementary angles with the
axis, is a parabola.
The locus of the point through which
two nodal circles, cutting a cardioid
orthogonally, and making complementary
angles with the axis, can be drawn is a
cardioid.
Two tangents to a parabola which
make equal angles with the axis and
directrix respectively, but are not at
right angles, meet on the latus rectum.
Two nodal circles tangent to a cardioid
which make equal angles with the axis
and latus rectum, respectively but do
not cut orthogonally intersect on the
latus rectum.
The circle which circumscribes the
triangle formed by three tangents to a
parabola passes through the focus.
