  2. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Line art drawing of parallel lines and curves. In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet. Parallel curves are curves that do not touch each other or intersect and keep a fixed minimum distance. In three ...

  3. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.

  4. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    a hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces, a polyhedron with six faces , each of which is a parallelogram, and; a prism of which the base is a parallelogram. The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all special cases of parallelepiped.

  5. Trapezoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoid

    The ratio of the areas of each pair of adjacent triangles is the same as that between the lengths of the parallel sides. [13] Let the trapezoid have vertices A, B, C, and D in sequence and have parallel sides AB and DC. Let E be the intersection of the diagonals, and let F be on side DA and G be on side BC such that FEG is parallel to AB and CD.
