  2. Rhombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

    The rhombus has a square as a special case, and is a special case of a kite and parallelogram.. In plane Euclidean geometry, a rhombus (pl.: rhombi or rhombuses) is a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    Rhombus – A parallelogram with four sides of equal length. Any parallelogram that is neither a rectangle nor a rhombus was traditionally called a rhomboid but this term is not used in modern mathematics. [1] Square – A parallelogram with four sides of equal length and angles of equal size (right angles).

  5. Orthodiagonal quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodiagonal_quadrilateral

    The kites are exactly the orthodiagonal quadrilaterals that contain a circle tangent to all four of their sides; that is, the kites are the tangential orthodiagonal quadrilaterals. [1] A rhombus is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides (that is, an orthodiagonal quadrilateral that is also a parallelogram).

  6. Golden rhombus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rhombus

    By using the area formula of the general rhombus in terms of its diagonal lengths and : The area of the golden rhombus in terms of its diagonal length d {\displaystyle d} is: [ 6 ] A = ( φ d ) ⋅ d 2 = φ 2 d 2 = 1 + 5 4 d 2 ≈ 0.80902 d 2 . {\displaystyle A={{(\varphi d)\cdot d} \over 2}={{\varphi } \over 2}~d^{2}={{1+{\sqrt {5}}} \over 4 ...

  7. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    For example, in spherical geometry, all three sides of the right triangle (say a, b, and c) bounding an octant of the unit sphere have length equal to π /2, and all its angles are right angles, which violates the Pythagorean theorem because + = >.

  8. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    Rhomboid: a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths, and some angles are oblique (equiv., having no right angles). Informally: "a pushed-over oblong". Not all references agree; some define a rhomboid as a parallelogram that is not a rhombus. [4] Rectangle: all four angles are right angles (equiangular). An equivalent ...

  9. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Among all quadrilaterals, the shape that has the greatest ratio of its perimeter to its diameter (maximum distance between any two points) is an equidiagonal kite with angles 60°, 75°, 150°, 75°. Its four vertices lie at the three corners and one of the side midpoints of the Reuleaux triangle .
