  2. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    The midsegment of a trapezoid is one of the two bimedians (the other bimedian divides the trapezoid into equal areas). The height (or altitude) is the perpendicular distance between the bases. In the case that the two bases have different lengths ( a ≠ b ), the height of a trapezoid h can be determined by the length of its four sides using ...

  3. Tangential trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_trapezoid

    The median (midsegment) of a tangential trapezoid equals one fourth of the perimeter of the trapezoid. It also equals half the sum of the bases, as in all trapezoids. If two circles are drawn, each with a diameter coinciding with the legs of a tangential trapezoid, then these two circles are tangent to each other. [5]

  4. Trapezoid graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid_graph

    A circle trapezoid is the region in a circle that lies between two non-crossing chords and a circle trapezoid graph is the intersection graph of families of circle trapezoids on a common circle. There is an O ( n 2 ) {\displaystyle O(n^{2})} algorithm for maximum weighted independent set problem and an O ( n 2 log ⁡ n ) {\displaystyle {O}(n ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula

    Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane. [2]

  6. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    Tangential trapezoid: a trapezoid where the four sides are tangents to an inscribed circle. Cyclic quadrilateral: the four vertices lie on a circumscribed circle. A convex quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if opposite angles sum to 180°. Right kite: a kite with two opposite right angles. It is a type of cyclic quadrilateral.

    What is the formular to find the perimeter of a trapezium —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.170.37.10 03:31, 11 January 2010 (UTC) What information do you know? Often you know at least two of the four side lengths, and you can usually find the others by using the Pythagorean theorem.

  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. Wetted perimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetted_perimeter

    The wetted perimeter can be defined mathematically as = = where l i is the length of each surface in contact with the aqueous body. In open channel flow, the wetted perimeter is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body.
