What else can I help you with?
Does a trapezoid contain 2 right angles?
Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.
Area of trapezoid with a circle inscribed?
The area of a trapezium (trapezoid) is the product of: A: the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides b: half the sum of the lengths of the other two sides. The inscribed circle is irrelevant.
Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
Is the distance between the two parallels is not same?
The perpendicular distance between two parallel lines is always the same.
How can you use the distributive property to write the formula for the area of a trapezoid in a different form?
It would be ha/2 + hb/2 where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between them (the height of the trapezium).
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
How is the area of the trapezoid found?
Atrapezoidor trapezium is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides. These two sides are called the bases. Find the average of the lengths of the bases andmultiplyby the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides (the height).bases have lengths a and b, height is h: A = h(a+b)/2
Why is it important to know the difference between parallel vs perpendicular?
perpendicular cross parallel do not
When figuring out the area of a trapezoid what does b2 mean?
In the formula for the area of a trapezoid, ( A = \frac{1}{2} (b_1 + b_2) h ), ( b_2 ) represents the length of one of the two parallel sides (bases) of the trapezoid. The other base is denoted as ( b_1 ). The height ( h ) is the perpendicular distance between these two bases. The area is calculated by averaging the lengths of the bases and then multiplying by the height.
What is the difference between a parralelogram a trapezoid?
Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel lines Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel lines
