  2. Dynamic rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rectangle

    A root-phi rectangle divides into a pair of Kepler triangles (right triangles with edge lengths in geometric progression). The root-φ rectangle is a dynamic rectangle but not a root rectangle. Its diagonal equals φ times the length of the shorter side. If a root-φ rectangle is divided by a diagonal, the result is two congruent Kepler triangles.

  3. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    From the definition of a cycloid, it has width 2πr and height 2r, so its area is four times the area of the circle. Calculate the area within this rectangle that lies above the cycloid arch by bisecting the rectangle at the midpoint where the arch meets the rectangle, rotate one piece by 180° and overlay the other half of the rectangle with it.

  4. Hooper's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooper's_paradox

    The length of the shorter side at the right angle measures 2 units in the original shape but only 1.8 units in the rectangle. This means, the real triangles of the original shape overlap in the rectangle. The overlapping area is a parallelogram, the diagonals and sides of which can be computed via the Pythagorean theorem.

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  6. Heptagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagon

    The area (A) of a regular heptagon of side length a is given by: A = 7 4 a 2 cot ⁡ π 7 ≃ 3.634 a 2 . {\displaystyle A={\frac {7}{4}}a^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{7}}\simeq 3.634a^{2}.} This can be seen by subdividing the unit-sided heptagon into seven triangular "pie slices" with vertices at the center and at the heptagon's vertices, and then ...

    Regular polygons; Description Figure Second moment of area Comment A filled regular (equiliteral) triangle with a side length of a = = [6] The result is valid for both a horizontal and a vertical axis through the centroid, and therefore is also valid for an axis with arbitrary direction that passes through the origin.

  8. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    The most basic area formula is the formula for the area of a rectangle. Given a rectangle with length l and width w, the formula for the area is: [2] A = lw (rectangle). That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a square, the area of a square with side length s is given ...
