The Equal Edge of a Tri-Equilateral Trapezoid is one of the parallel edges and any of the non-parallel legs of the trapezoid which are equal in length. In a tri-equilateral trapezoid, three edges are of equal length.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula derives from the area formula of a trapezoid, rearranged to solve for the equal edge length.
Details: Calculating the equal edge is essential for geometric constructions, architectural designs, and various engineering applications where precise dimensions of trapezoidal shapes are required.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters, height in meters, and unequal edge in meters. All values must be positive numbers with height greater than zero.
Q1: What is a Tri-Equilateral Trapezoid?
A: A Tri-Equilateral Trapezoid is a trapezoid where three of its four edges are equal in length.
Q2: Can the unequal edge be zero?
A: No, the unequal edge must be a positive value. If the unequal edge were zero, the shape would become a triangle.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses meters for length and square meters for area, but you can use any consistent unit system as long as all measurements are in the same units.
Q4: What if I get a negative result?
A: A negative result indicates that the input values are inconsistent with a valid trapezoid shape. Please verify your measurements.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the input values. The accuracy depends on the precision of your measurements.
