trapezoid
(noun)
a (convex) quadrilateral with two (non-adjacent) parallel sides
Examples of trapezoid in the following topics:
-
Approximate Integration
- The trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for approximating the definite integral $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\, dx$.
- Here, we will study a very simple approximation technique, called a trapezoidal rule.
- The trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for approximating the definite integral $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\,dx$.
- The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function $f(x)$ as a trapezoid and calculating its area.
- Use the trapezoidal rule to approximate the value of a definite integral
-
Carpals, Metacarpals, and Phalanges (The Hand)
- The distal row contains the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate, moving lateral to medial.
- The trapezoid articulates with the scaphoid proximally and the second metacarpal distally.
- There are eight carpal bones in each wrist: scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
-
Numerical Integration
- This is called the trapezoidal rule.
- For example, the composite trapezoidal rule can be stated as
-
Numerical Integration
- The trapezoidal rule is a more accurate method of numerical integration.
- For example, the composite trapezoidal rule can be stated as:
-
Clavicle
- Laterally the deltoid muscle originates from the anterior surface and the trapezius muscle attaches to the posterior surface at the trapezoid line.
-
Foreshortening
- Additionally, the depicted object is often not scaled evenly; for example a circle might appear as an ellipse and a square might appear as a trapezoid.
-
Machu Picchu
- Other design details that protected against earthquakes included trapezoidal doors and windows that tilted inward from bottom to top; rounded corners; and "L"-shaped blocks used to tie outside corners of the structure together.
- The residence of the Amautas (wise persons) was characterized by its reddish walls, and the zone of the Ñustas (princesses) had trapezoid-shaped rooms.
-
The Java Culture
- Traditional Javanese buildings can be identified by their trapezoidal rooves supported by wooden pillars.
- Traditional mosques in Java maintain a distinctive Javanese style with both the pendopo and a trapezoidal roof, rather than the more typical dome and minarets.
-
Gothic Cathedrals
- The Gothic vault, unlike the semi-circular vault of Roman and Romanesque buildings, can be used to roof rectangular and irregularly shaped plans such as trapezoids.
-
Italian Architecture in the Baroque Period
- The façade of the building, with its chiaroscuro half-domed portico and concave side wings, closely resembles a theatrical stage set and projects forward so that it substantially fills the tiny trapezoidal piazza.
