👉 A tractrix is a geometric figure that represents a path where each point on the curve is connected to another by an arc, forming a closed loop. It's a mathematical concept used in the study of curves and surfaces. Tractrices are named after their geometric shape, which resembles the outline of a trapezoid (a type of quadrilateral) when viewed from above or below. They can be traced out on a flat surface, such as paper, to form a path that is closed
