figura humana com braços e pernas em cruz/abertos


Explanation:
Ao olharmos para a gravura, parece que os membros superiores e inferiores da figura humana formam uma cruz e dá uma ideia de movimento da figura dentro do círculo e do quadrado.
Vejam a figurinha cómica aqui:
https://www.google.pt/search?q=homem vitruviano: o centro&bi...

"Ao examinar o desenho acima, o leitor notará que temos duas diferentes posturas, formadas pela combinação das posições dos braços e das pernas.
Observe que a figura humana com braços e pernas em cruz está contida dentro do quadrado. Enquanto aquela com braços e pernas abertos está contida no círculo.
A postura em cruz delimita os lados do quadrado, enquanto a postura com pernas e braços abertos delimita o círculo.
A área das duas figuras geométricas é igual.
O umbigo da figura humana é o seu real centro de gravidade, que continua imóvel, embora pareça se mover."
