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.
