  2. Rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

    In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.

  3. Arithmetic billiards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_billiards

    Arithmetic billiards can be used to show how two numbers interact. Drawing squares within the rectangle of length and width of the two natural numbers allows a reader to learn more about the relationship between the two numbers. Coprime integers interact with every unit square within the rectangle.

  4. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Although there are 10 mm in 1 cm, there are 100 mm 2 in 1 cm 2. Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres ...

  5. Girth (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In three-dimensional geometry, the girth of a geometric object, in a certain direction, is the perimeter of its parallel projection in that direction. [1] [2] For instance, the girth of a unit cube in a direction parallel to one of the three coordinate axes is four: it projects to a unit square, which has four as its perimeter.

  6. Perimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

    For example, the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.001 and length 1000 is slightly above 2000, while the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.5 and length 2 is 5. Both areas are equal to 1. Proclus (5th century) reported that Greek peasants "fairly" parted fields relying on their perimeters. [ 2 ]

  7. Equable shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equable_shape

    The only equable rectangles with integer sides are the 4 × 4 square and the 3 × 6 rectangle. [4] An integer rectangle is a special type of polyomino, and more generally there exist polyominoes with equal area and perimeter for any even integer area greater than or equal to 16. For smaller areas, the perimeter of a polyomino must exceed its area.

  8. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    P is the wetted perimeter of the cross-section. More intuitively, the hydraulic diameter can be understood as a function of the hydraulic radius R H, which is defined as the cross-sectional area of the channel divided by the wetted perimeter. Here, the wetted perimeter includes all surfaces acted upon by shear stress from the fluid. [3]

  9. Mean line segment length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_line_segment_length

    where = + is the length of the rectangle's diagonal. If the two points are instead chosen to be on different sides of the square, the average distance is given by [ 3 ] [ 4 ] ( 2 + 2 + 5 ln ⁡ ( 1 + 2 ) 9 ) s ≈ 0.869009 … s . {\displaystyle \left({\frac {2+{\sqrt {2}}+5\ln(1+{\sqrt {2}})}{9}}\right)s\approx 0.869009\ldots s.}
