Look up trapezoid in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. In geometry, a trapezoid (/ ˈtræpəzɔɪd /) in North American English, or trapezium (/ trəˈpiːziəm /) in British English, [1][2] is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid.
The trapezius muscle (pl.: trapezii) is a surface muscle of back, shown in red above and below. Details. Origin. Medial one-third of superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, spinous processes of vertebrae C7-T12, Nuchal ligament [1] Insertion. Posterior border of the lateral one-third of the clavicle, acromion process, and spine ...
The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans. It is the smallest bone in the distal row of carpal bones that give structure to the palm of the hand. It may be known by its wedge -shaped form, the broad end of the wedge constituting the dorsal, the narrow end the palmar surface; and by its having ...
The scaphoid is situated between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. It is located on the radial side of the wrist, [1]: 176 adjacent to the styloid process of the radius. [2] It articulates with the radius, lunate, trapezoid, trapezium, and capitate. [1]: 176 Over 80% of the bone is covered in articular cartilage. [3]
various methods; see below. Internal angle (degrees) 90° (for square and rectangle) In geometry a quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, having four edges (sides) and four corners (vertices). The word is derived from the Latin words quadri, a variant of four, and latus, meaning "side".
Trapezoidal rule. The function f (x) (in blue) is approximated by a linear function (in red). 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 trapezium is an irregular-shaped carpal bone found within the hand. The trapezium is found within the distal row of carpal bones, and is directly adjacent to the metacarpal bone of the thumb. On its ulnar surface are found the trapezoid and scaphoid bones. [1]: 708. The superior surface is directed upward and medialward; medially it is ...
The triquetral is one of the eight carpal bones of the hand. It is a three-faced bone found within the proximal row of carpal bones. Situated beneath the pisiform, it is one of the carpal bones that form the carpal arch, within which lies the carpal tunnel. [3]: 708. The triquetral bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an ...
