  2. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    The parallel sides are called the bases of the 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, [4] in contrast with the special cases below.

  3. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(geometry)

    Any of the sides of a parallelogram, or either (but typically the longer) of the parallel sides of a trapezoid can be considered its base. Sometimes the parallel opposite side is also called a base, or sometimes it is called a top, apex, or summit. The other two edges can be called the sides.

  4. Perpendicular - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular

    The perpendicular bisectors of the sides also play a prominent role in triangle geometry. The Euler line of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the triangle's base. The Droz-Farny line theorem concerns a property of two perpendicular lines intersecting at a triangle's orthocenter .

  5. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

    The four sides can be split into two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. [7] One diagonal crosses the midpoint of the other diagonal at a right angle, forming its perpendicular bisector. [9] (In the concave case, the line through one of the diagonals bisects the other.) One diagonal is a line of symmetry.

  6. British flag theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_flag_theorem

    The British flag theorem can be generalized into a statement about (convex) isosceles trapezoids.More precisely for a trapezoid with parallel sides and and interior point the following equation holds:

  7. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    Isosceles trapezium (UK) or isosceles trapezoid (US): one pair of opposite sides are parallel and the base angles are equal in measure. Alternative definitions are a quadrilateral with an axis of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides, or a trapezoid with diagonals of equal length. Parallelogram: a quadrilateral with two pairs of ...

  8. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    There are known to be an infinitude of constructible regular polygons with an even number of sides (because if a regular n-gon is constructible, then so is a regular 2n-gon and hence a regular 4n-gon, 8n-gon, etc.). However, there are only 5 known Fermat primes, giving only 31 known constructible regular n-gons with an odd number of sides.

  9. Tangential trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_trapezoid

    The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be simplified using Pitot's theorem to get a formula for the area of a tangential trapezoid. If the bases have lengths a, b, and any one of the other two sides has length c, then the area K is given by the formula [2] (This formula can be used only in cases where the bases are parallel.)
