  2. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    A right trapezoid (also called right-angled trapezoid) has two adjacent right angles. [13] Right trapezoids are used in the trapezoidal rule for estimating areas under a curve. An acute trapezoid has two adjacent acute angles on its longer base edge. An obtuse trapezoid on the other hand has one acute and one obtuse angle on each base. An ...

  3. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

  4. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

    Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the quadrilateral to zero. Brahmagupta's formula gives the area ⁠ K {\displaystyle K} ⁠ of a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have lengths ⁠ a , {\displaystyle a,} ⁠ ⁠ b , {\displaystyle b,} ⁠ ⁠ c , {\displaystyle c ...

  5. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    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 the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.

  6. Tangential trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_trapezoid

    A right tangential trapezoid. A right tangential trapezoid is a tangential trapezoid where two adjacent angles are right angles. If the bases have lengths a, b, then the inradius is [6] = +. Thus the diameter of the incircle is the harmonic mean of the bases. The right tangential trapezoid has the area [6]

  9. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    The formula was described by Albrecht Ludwig Friedrich Meister (1724–1788) in 1769 [4] and is based on the trapezoid formula which was described by Carl Friedrich Gauss and C.G.J. Jacobi. [5] The triangle form of the area formula can be considered to be a special case of Green's theorem.
