Trapezium, plural trapezia, may refer to: Trapezium, in British and other forms of English, a trapezoid, a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides; Trapezium, in North American English, an irregular quadrilateral with no sides parallel; Trapezium (bone), a bone in the hand; Trapezium Cluster, a group of stars in the Orion Nebula
height/altitude: trapezoid/trapezium with opposing triangles , formed by the diagonals. Given a convex quadrilateral, the following properties are equivalent, and each implies that the quadrilateral is a trapezoid: It has two adjacent angles that are supplementary, that is, they add up to 180 degrees.
The trapezius muscle resembles a trapezium, also known as a trapezoid, or diamond-shaped quadrilateral. The word "spinotrapezius" refers to the human trapezius, although it is not commonly used in modern texts. In other mammals, it refers to a portion of the analogous muscle.
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.
The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A l (half linear dimensions yields quarter area), and the area of the parallelogram is A ...
Any non-self-crossing quadrilateral with exactly one axis of symmetry must be either an isosceles trapezoid or a kite. [5] However, if crossings are allowed, the set of symmetric quadrilaterals must be expanded to include also the crossed isosceles trapezoids, crossed quadrilaterals in which the crossed sides are of equal length and the other sides are parallel, and the antiparallelograms ...
A computerized system that calls balls and strikes is being tested during Major League Baseball spring training exhibition games starting Thursday after four years of experiments in the minor leagues.
The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body.
