Look up trapezoid in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. In geometry, a trapezoid (/ ˈtræpəzɔɪd /) in North American English, or trapezium (/ trəˈpiːziəm /) in British English, [ 1 ][ 2 ] is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid. The other two sides are called the ...
Isosceles trapezoid. In Euclidean geometry, an isosceles trapezoid (isosceles trapezium in British English) is a convex quadrilateral with a line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides. It is a special case of a trapezoid. Alternatively, it can be defined as a trapezoid in which both legs and both base angles are of equal measure, [ 1 ...
Tangential trapezoid: a trapezoid where the four sides are tangents to an inscribed circle. Cyclic quadrilateral: the four vertices lie on a circumscribed circle. A convex quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if opposite angles sum to 180°. Right kite: a kite with two opposite right angles. It is a type of cyclic quadrilateral.
convex. In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non- self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. The congruence of opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct consequence of ...
The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans. It is the smallest bone in the distal row of carpal bones that give structure to the palm of the hand. It may be known by its wedge -shaped form, the broad end of the wedge constituting the dorsal, the narrow end the palmar surface; and by its having ...
Trapezoidal rule. The function f (x) (in blue) is approximated by a linear function (in red). In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of ...
30-60-90 triangle. Isosceles right triangle. Kepler triangle. Scalene triangle. Quadrilateral – 4 sides. Cyclic quadrilateral. Kite. Parallelogram. Rhombus (equilateral parallelogram)
A right trapezoid is a trapezoid that has two pairs of adjacent sides that are perpendicular. Each of the four maltitudes of a quadrilateral is a perpendicular to a side through the midpoint of the opposite side. An orthodiagonal quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular. These include the square, the rhombus, and the kite.
