  2. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    The centers of four squares all constructed either internally or externally on the sides of a parallelogram are the vertices of a square. [8] If two lines parallel to sides of a parallelogram are constructed concurrent to a diagonal, then the parallelograms formed on opposite sides of that diagonal are equal in area. [8]

  3. Parallelogram law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_law

    For the general quadrilateral (with four sides not necessarily equal) Euler's quadrilateral theorem states + + + = + +, where is the length of the line segment joining the midpoints of the diagonals. It can be seen from the diagram that x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} for a parallelogram, and so the general formula simplifies to the parallelogram law.

  4. Rhombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

    A rhombus has an axis of symmetry through each pair of opposite vertex angles, while a rectangle has an axis of symmetry through each pair of opposite sides. The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at equal angles, while the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length. The figure formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a rhombus is a ...

  5. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    The other two sides are called the legs (or the lateral sides) if they are not parallel; otherwise, the trapezoid is a parallelogram, and there are two pairs of bases. A scalene trapezoid is a trapezoid with no sides of equal measure, [ 3 ] in contrast with the special cases below.

  6. Rhomboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboid

    Traditionally, in two-dimensional geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are non-right angled.. The terms "rhomboid" and "parallelogram" are often erroneously conflated with each other (i.e, when most people refer to a "parallelogram" they almost always mean a rhomboid, a specific subtype of parallelogram); however, while all rhomboids ...

  7. Parallelogon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogon

    Parallelogons have an even number of sides and opposite sides that are equal in length. A less obvious corollary is that parallelogons can only have either four or six sides; [1] Parallelogons have 180-degree rotational symmetry around the center. A four-sided parallelogon is called a parallelogram.

  8. Isosceles trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_trapezoid

    Note that a non-rectangular parallelogram is not an isosceles trapezoid because of the second condition, or because it has no line of symmetry. In any isosceles trapezoid, two opposite sides (the bases) are parallel, and the two other sides (the legs) are of equal length (properties shared with the parallelogram), and the diagonals have equal ...

  9. Theorem of the gnomon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_the_gnomon

    Furthermore there are two uniquely determined parallelograms and the sides of which are parallel to the sides of the outer parallelogram and which share the vertex with the inner parallelogram. Now the difference of the areas of those two parallelograms is equal to area of the inner parallelogram, that is: [ 2 ]
