  2. Pappus's area theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_area_theorem

    For squares on two sides of an arbitrary triangle it yields a parallelogram of equal area over the third side and if the two sides are the legs of a right angle the parallelogram over the third side will be square as well. For a right-angled triangle, two parallelograms attached to the legs of the right angle yield a rectangle of equal area on ...

  3. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    The centers of four squares all constructed either internally or externally on the sides of a parallelogram are the vertices of a square. [8] If two lines parallel to sides of a parallelogram are constructed concurrent to a diagonal, then the parallelograms formed on opposite sides of that diagonal are equal in area. [8] The diagonals of a ...

  4. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    These two triangles are shown to be congruent, proving this square has the same area as the left rectangle. This argument is followed by a similar version for the right rectangle and the remaining square. Putting the two rectangles together to reform the square on the hypotenuse, its area is the same as the sum of the area of the other two squares.

  5. Thébault's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thébault's_theorem

    The quadrilateral formed by joining the centers of those four squares is a square. [1] It is a special case of van Aubel's theorem and a square version of the Napoleon's theorem. All three of these theorems are just a special case of Petr–Douglas–Neumann theorem. Tiling pattern based on Thébault's problem I

  7. Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

    In a right triangle two of the squares coincide and have a vertex at the triangle's right angle, so a right triangle has only two distinct inscribed squares. An obtuse triangle has only one inscribed square, with a side coinciding with part of the triangle's longest side. The fraction of the triangle's area that is filled by the square is no ...

  8. 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.

  9. Rhomboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboid

    Traditionally, in two-dimensional geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are non-right angled.. The terms "rhomboid" and "parallelogram" are often erroneously conflated with each other (i.e, when most people refer to a "parallelogram" they almost always mean a rhomboid, a specific subtype of parallelogram); however, while all rhomboids ...
