Cardioid

A curve that is somewhat heart shaped. A cardioid can be drawn by tracing the path of a point on a circle as the circle rolls around a fixed circle of the same radius. The equation is usually written in polar coordinates.

Note: A cardioid is a special case of the limaçon family of curves.

Cardioid: r = a ± a cos θ (horizontal) or r = a ± a sin θ (vertical)


r = 2 + 2cos θ
r = 2 + 2sin θ
