Euler's quadrilateral theorem

In any convex quadrilateral the sum of the squares of the four sides is equal to the sum of the squares of the two diagonals plus four times the square of ... more

Center of mass of a uniform trapezoid

Trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid and the other two sides ... more

West number

The West number is an empirical parameter used to characterize the performance of Stirling engines and other Stirling systems. A Stirling engine is a heat ... more

Varignon's theorem (Varignon parallelogram)

The Varigons theorem states that :
The midpoints of the sides of an arbitrary quadrangle form a parallelogram. If the quadrangle is convex or ... more

Relation between the consecutive sides and the diagonals of a trapezoid

Trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid and the other two sides ... more

British flag theorem (Rectangles)

Rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its ... more

Find the terminal velocity of an 85-kg skydiver falling in a spread-eagle position.

Terminal Velocity (without considering buoyancy)
Rectangle area

where Vt is the terminal velocity, m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the acceleration due to gravity, Cd is the drag coefficient, ρ is the density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object.
