  2. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    The area of the parallelogram is the area of the blue region, which is the interior of the parallelogram. The base × height area formula can also be derived using the figure to the right. The area K of the parallelogram to the right (the blue area) is the total area of the rectangle less the area of the two orange triangles. The area of the ...

  3. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    The most basic area formula is the formula for the area of a rectangle. ... It follows that the area of each triangle is half the area of the parallelogram: [2]

  4. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    The area of the Varignon parallelogram equals half the area of the original quadrilateral. This is true in convex, concave and crossed quadrilaterals provided the area of the latter is defined to be the difference of the areas of the two triangles it is composed of.

  5. Parallelogram law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_law

    Vectors involved in the parallelogram law. In a normed space, the statement of the parallelogram law is an equation relating norms: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ = ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖,.. The parallelogram law is equivalent to the seemingly weaker statement: ‖ ‖ + ‖ ‖ ‖ + ‖ + ‖ ‖, because the reverse inequality can be obtained from it by substituting (+) for , and () for , and then simplifying.

  6. Shoelace formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  7. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

    The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.

  8. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    By this usage, the area of a parallelogram or the volume of a prism or cylinder can be calculated by multiplying its "base" by its height; likewise, the areas of triangles and the volumes of cones and pyramids are fractions of the products of their bases and heights. Some figures have two parallel bases (such as trapezoids and frustums), both ...

  9. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    4 parallelograms The parallelepiped with O h symmetry is known as a cube , which has six congruent square faces. The parallelepiped with D 4h symmetry is known as a square cuboid , which has two square faces and four congruent rectangular faces.
