How To: Draw a hypercube

This clip shows how you can draw a hypercube, which is a complex shape composed of cubes. You start with a series of equally spaced horizontal lines. Then you draw a vertical line from the origin (o, o, o). From the same point, you draw a horizontal line of the same length and two more lines at 45 degrees and 135 degrees from the horizontal. The vertical line and the 45 degree line form two of the vertices of one of the cubes. The vertical line and the 135 degree line form two of the vertices...

How To: Understand the properties of a rhombus in Geometry

In this math tutorial the instructor discusses the properties of a rhombus. He begins by saying that the properties of a rhombus are similar to the properties of a square. He says that the rhombus is a quadrilateral and hence the sum of internal angles of it is 360 degrees. He says that four sides of a rhombus are equal in length. He says that a rhombus has two diagonals which cross each other at their mid points and are perpendicular to each other but says that the lengths of diagonals are d...

How To: Quickly find the area of a trapezoid

In this video, Mr. Maisonet provides a quick and easy method for calculating the area of a trapezoid. In the first step, The lengths of the two bases (the two sides of a trapezoid that are parallel to one another) are averaged. The lengths of the bases are first added together, and the sum is divided by two, yielding the average. The average is then multiplied by the height. The resulting product is the area of the trapezoid. This method for finding the area of a trapezoid is mathematically s...

How To: Easily find the area of a rhombus

In this video, you will learn how to find the area of a rhombus. The formula is A = 1/2 d1 * d2. The d1 is the diagonal inside the rhombus, while d2 is the other diagonal inside the rhombus. You will need to find the length of these lines in order to complete the formula. For example, if one length is 5 and the other is 4, then you should plug in the numbers into the formula. This will equal 20 divided by 2, or 10. 10 units squared is the answer to this particular problem. Viewing this video ...
