Answer 1

Explanation:

In mathematics: Applied geometry. Apollonius introduced an alternative “epicyclic” model, in which the planet turns about a point that itself orbits in a circle (the “deferent”) centred at or near Earth. As Apollonius knew, his epicyclic model is geometrically equivalent to an eccentric.
