Dual polygon. Kite. 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 ...
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.)
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 ...
convex, cyclic. Dual polygon. Self-dual. In geometry, an isosceles triangle (/ aɪˈsɒsəliːz /) is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a ...
Any square, rectangle, isosceles trapezoid, or antiparallelogram is cyclic. A kite is cyclic if and only if it has two right angles – a right kite.A bicentric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral that is also tangential and an ex-bicentric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral that is also ex-tangential.
Heron's formula. A triangle with sides a, b, and c. In geometry, Heron's formula (or Hero's formula) gives the area of a triangle in terms of the three side lengths Letting be the semiperimeter of the triangle, the area is [1] It is named after first-century engineer Heron of Alexandria (or Hero) who ...
Trapezia (UK) and trapezoids (US) include parallelograms. 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.
Square. In Euclidean geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four sides of equal length and four equal angles (90- degree angles, π/2 radian angles, or right angles). It can also be defined as a rectangle with two equal-length adjacent sides.
