    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 .

  3. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    In geometry, a trapezoid (/ ˈ t r æ p ə z ɔɪ d /) in North American English, or trapezium (/ t r ə ˈ p iː z i ə m /) in British English, [1] [2] is a quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides. [3] The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid.

    The Lahun Papyrus Problem 1 in LV.4 is given as: An area of 40 "mH" by 3 "mH" shall be divided in 10 areas, each of which shall have a width that is 1/2 1/4 of their length. [12] A translation of the problem and its solution as it appears on the fragment is given on the website maintained by University College London.

  5. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The area bounded by one spiral rotation and a line is 1/3 that of the circle having a radius equal to the line segment length; Use of the method of exhaustion also led to the successful evaluation of an infinite geometric series (for the first time);

  6. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    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]

  7. Perimeter - Wikipedia

    For example, the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.001 and length 1000 is slightly above 2000, while the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.5 and length 2 is 5. Both areas are equal to 1. Proclus (5th century) reported that Greek peasants "fairly" parted fields relying on their perimeters. [ 2 ]

  8. Isosceles trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_trapezoid

    The area of an isosceles (or any) trapezoid is equal to the average of the lengths of the base and top (the parallel sides) times the height. In the adjacent diagram, if we write AD = a , and BC = b , and the height h is the length of a line segment between AD and BC that is perpendicular to them, then the area K is

    The area-equivalent radius of a 2D object is the radius of a circle with the same area as the object Cross sectional area of a trapezoidal open channel, red highlights the wetted perimeter, where water is in contact with the channel.
