  2. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    The area of the parallelogram is the area of the blue region, which is the interior of the parallelogram. The base × height area formula can also be derived using the figure to the right. The area K of the parallelogram to the right (the blue area) is the total area of the rectangle less the area of the two orange triangles. The area of the ...

  3. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = ⁠12⁠ × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.

  4. Planimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

    This area is also equal to the area of the parallelogram A"ABB". The measuring wheel measures the distance PQ (perpendicular to EM). Moving from C to D the arm EM moves through the green parallelogram, with area equal to the area of the rectangle D"DCC". The measuring wheel now moves in the opposite direction, subtracting this reading from the ...

  5. Apothem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apothem

    Apothem of a hexagon Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6. The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo [1]) of a regular polygon is a line segment from the center to the midpoint of one of its sides.

  6. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    t. e. A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any point of the circle and the centre is called the radius. The length of a line segment connecting two points on the circle and passing through the centre is called the diameter.

  7. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_triangle

    The area of a triangle can be demonstrated, for example by means of the congruence of triangles, as half of the area of a parallelogramthat has the same base length and height. A graphic derivation of the formula T=h2b{\displaystyle T={\frac {h}{2}}b}that avoids the usual procedure of doubling the area of the triangle and then halving it.

  8. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

  9. 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.
