In Euclidean geometry, Moss's egg is an oval made by smoothly connecting four circular arcs. It can be constructed from a right isosceles triangle ABC with apex C.
To construct Moss's egg: [1] [2] [3]
- Draw a semicircle on the base AB of the triangle, outside of the triangle.
- Connect it to a circular arc centered at B from A to a point D on line BC, and by another circular arc centered at A from B to a point E on line AC.
- Complete the oval by a circular arc centered at C, from D to E.
