Hey, I'm looking to prove a few things which seem almost trivial, but I'd like a formal proof anyway (so people don't spend too much time trying to find a way where it doesn't work).
All these questions apply to a plane.
1) If you're looking from one point at a square, you can see at most two sides.
2) when looking at a square and seeing two sides, the two invisible sides will converge at the point furthest away from you, or the two sides that you do see converge at the point closest to you.
3) Polar coordinates: two objects in a plane, one is closer then the other (r is stricly lower for each pont of the ontour) , if the maximum and minimum angular coordinates of the objects furthest away fall between the maximum and minimum angular coordinates of the closest object, you can't see it.
