This knot is so named for it's similarities to the neck and fret board of a guitar. To make this knot, you'll need several feet of rope. For every inch in length of the guitar bar, you will need an extra foot of rope. So 12 inches = 12 extra feet of rope to spare, to make this creation.
Finding the area of a trapezoid can be done easily by using a simple formula. The area can be found by adding the length of base 1 plus base 2 then multiplying by the height and then dividing the sum by 2. The bases of the trapezoid are the straight lines that are parallel to one another. The last number in the equation is total height of the trapezoid. Now all that remains left is to plug these number into the formula and find the area of your trapezoid.
In this tutorial the author shows how to find out the missing part of a triangle that is similar to another triangle. He explains the concept of similar triangle diagrammatically by showing that similar triangles have similar angles and parallel sides.

Now in similar triangles as the lengths of sides of proportionate he shows how to write a equation of proportion and solves it finding the missing part ...
In this "Math Made Easy" geometry episode, you learn how to prove that two triangles are congruent (equal) by using the "side-side-side" evidence. By using "side-side-side" to prove that two triangles are congruent, you are stating that all the respective corresponding sides of two triangles are equal in length thus proving the triangles are congruent. The narrator in this tutorial provides you with definitions about statements, proofs, and congruency. This becomes useful when setting up a ta...
