In this example, the triangle's side lengths and area are integers, making it a Heronian triangle. However, Heron's formula works equally well when the side lengths are real numbers. As long as they obey the strict triangle inequality, they define a triangle in the Euclidean plane whose area is a positive real number.
This yields as a special case the well-known formula for the area of a triangle, by considering a triangle as a degenerate trapezoid in which one of the parallel sides has shrunk to a point. The 7th-century Indian mathematician Bhāskara I derived the following formula for the area of a trapezoid with consecutive sides a, c, b, d:
Problem 50 of the RMP finds the area of a round field of diameter 9 khet. [10] This is solved by using the approximation that circular field of diameter 9 has the same area as a square of side 8. Problem 52 finds the area of a trapezium with (apparently) equally slanting sides.
What is the formular to find the perimeter of a trapezium —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.170.37.10 03:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC) What information do you know? Often you know at least two of the four side lengths, and you can usually find the others by using the Pythagorean theorem.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be simplified using Pitot's theorem to get a formula for the area of a tangential trapezoid. If the bases have lengths a, b, and any one of the other two sides has length c, then the area K is given by the formula [2] (This formula can be used only in cases where the bases are parallel.)
John Calipari recently likened playing in the SEC this season to sitting down at a poker table full of sharks. The Arkansas coach told reporters that he scanned the league standings from top to ...
