TRAPEZOID

In Euclidean geometry, a convex quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel


sides is referred to as a trapezoid in American and Canadian English but as a trapezium
in English outside North America. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid
and the other two sides are called the legs or the lateral sides (if they are not parallel;
otherwise there are two pairs of bases). A scalene trapezoid is a trapezoid with no sides of
equal measure, in contrast to the special cases below.
There is some disagreement whether parallelograms, which have two pairs of parallel
sides, should be regarded as trapezoids. Some define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral having
only one pair of parallel sides (the exclusive definition), thereby excluding
parallelograms.] Others define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of
parallel sides (the inclusive definition]), making the parallelogram a special type of
trapezoid. The latter definition is consistent with its uses in higher mathematics such as
calculus. The former definition would make such concepts as the trapezoidal
approximation to a definite integral ill-defined. This article uses the inclusive definition
and considers parallelograms as special cases of a trapezoid. This is also advocated in the
taxonomy of quadrilaterals.

RHOMBUS
In Euclidean geometry, a rhombus (), plural rhombi or
rhombuses, is a simple (non-self-intersecting) quadrilateral all of whose
four sides have the same length. Another name is equilateral
quadrilateral, since equilateral means that all of its sides are equal in
length. The rhombus is often called a diamond, after the diamonds suit
in playing cards, or a lozenge, though the former sometimes refers
specifically to a rhombus with a 60 angle (see Polyiamond), and the
latter sometimes refers specifically to a rhombus with a 45 angle.
Every rhombus is a parallelogram, and a rhombus with right angles is a
square

KITE
A kite is an aircraft consisting of one or more wings tethered to an anchor
system. Frequently a wing of a kite is referenced as "kite". The necessary lift that
sustains the kite in flight is generated when air flows above the kite's surface,
producing low pressure above and high pressure below the wings. The interaction
with the wind also generates horizontal drag along the direction of the wind. The
resultant force vector from the lift and drag force components is opposed by the
tension of one or more of the lines or tethers to which the kite is attached. The
anchor point of the kite line may be static or moving (e.g., the towing of a kite by a
running person, boat, free-falling anchors as in paragliders and fugitive parakites or
vehicle).
The same principles can be used in water and experiments have also been made
with lighter-than-air kites (kytoons)
Kites may be flown for recreation, art or other practical uses. Sport kites can be
flown in aerial ballet, sometimes as part of a competition. Power kites are multi-

line steerable kites designed to generate large forces which can be used to power
activities such as kite surfing, kite landboarding, kite fishing, kite buggying and a
new trend snow kiting. Kites towed behind boats can lift passengers] which has had
useful military applications in the past.

PARALLELOGRAM
In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a (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. The congruence of
opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct
consequence of the Euclidean Parallel Postulate and
neither condition can be proven without appealing to the
Euclidean Parallel Postulate or one of its equivalent
formulations. The three-dimensional counterpart of a
parallelogram is a parallelepiped.

DIAMOND
In mineralogy, diamond from the ancient Greek . It is a
metastable allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are
arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal
structure called a diamond lattice. Diamond is less stable than
graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is
negligible at standard conditions. Diamond is renowned as a
material with superlative physical qualities, most of which
originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In
particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal
conductivity of any bulk material. Those properties determine the
major industrial application of diamond in cutting and polishing

tools and the scientific applications in diamond knives and


diamond anvil cells.

square
In geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral,
which means that it has four equal sides and four
equal angles (90-degree angles, or right angles).[1]
It can also be defined as a rectangle in which two
adjacent sides are equal.
