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. Signed area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_area

   The blue area above the x-axis may be specified as positive area, while the yellow area below the x-axis is the negative area. The integral of a real function can be imagined as the signed area between the x {\displaystyle x} -axis and the curve y = f ( x ) {\displaystyle y=f(x)} over an interval [ a , b ].

4. Area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

   If the triangle is moved to the other side of the trapezoid, then the resulting figure is a rectangle. It follows that the area of the parallelogram is the same as the area of the rectangle: [2] A = bh (parallelogram). A parallelogram split into two equal triangles

5. Midpoint polygon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_polygon

   The midpoint polygon of a quadrilateral is a parallelogram called its Varignon parallelogram. If the quadrilateral is simple, the area of the parallelogram is one half the area of the original quadrilateral. The perimeter of the parallelogram equals the sum of the diagonals of the original quadrilateral.

6. 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 ...

7. Pappus's area theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_area_theorem

   Pappus's area theorem describes the relationship between the areas of three parallelograms attached to three sides of an arbitrary triangle. The theorem, which can also be thought of as a generalization of the Pythagorean theorem , is named after the Greek mathematician Pappus of Alexandria (4th century AD), who discovered it.

8. Hooper's paradox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooper's_paradox

   The length of the shorter side at the right angle measures 2 units in the original shape but only 1.8 units in the rectangle. This means, the real triangles of the original shape overlap in the rectangle. The overlapping area is a parallelogram, the diagonals and sides of which can be computed via the Pythagorean theorem.

9. Varignon's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem

   An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. 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 ...
