name of a 2 demension figure described below

Question

na rectangular like figure except with 2 right angles and 2 non-right angles. None of the sides are of the same lenght.

Answer 1

Sorry all you answerers above. It MIGHT be a right trapezoid (or trapezium, as some countries call it. That is ONLY if the two right angles are adjacent. If they are NOT adjacent, then it must be merely a quadrilateral (it cannot be a kite, as then sides would pair for length). If you wish to assemble one, draw two non-congruent non-isoceles right triangles which share a common hypotense. The combined shape is your target!

Example on Cartesian plane: (0,0),(0,1), (1,2), (3,0)

Answer 2

Trapezium is the correct answer

2 right angles

2 non right angles

all sides a different length

Answer 3

If the right angles are in consecutive corners, then you have a trapezoid. Trapezium is the term used in the United Kingdom.

In the United States, trapezium refers to one of the shoulder muscles.

If the right angles are in opposite corners, then you have a quadrilateral but not a trapezoid.

Trapezoids must have exactly one pair of parallel sides. Since all the sides have unique lengths, parallel sides cannot exist with right angles in opposite corners and still be a closed figure.

Why? The sum of the measures of the interior angles in any quadrilateral is 360 degrees. You already know two of these angles measure 90 degrees ( the right angles). So the measures of the non-right angles must sum to 180 degrees.

These angles can't be equal in measure: if they did, they would both be right angles. For two opposite sides of a quadrilateral to be parallel, the measures of their consecutive interior angles would have to be supplementary (add up to 180 degrees). A right angle can only be supplementary with another right angle. And thus, none of the sides of this quadrilateral can be parallel to any of the others.

If you would like more detail on the above, please ask.

Answer 4

A special trapezoid or trapezium with two right angles and different lengths of four sides.

Answer 5

The figure is a trapeziod. Start off by drawing a vertcal line on the left hand side of your page - about an inch long. At the top ad bottom of the line draw horizontal lines - so you make your two right angles. Now you need to make sure that each side is a different length. Draw the bottom line to say 3 inches and the top line 2 inches. Then connect these lines up.

Wikipedia has a nice diagram - just search trapezoid. In the diagram shown, imagine "h" is the left hand edge of your shape - ignore the line AD.

 

Answer 6

Your are describing a right trapezoid.

Answer 7

Trapezoid

 

Answer 8

Any geometrical figure with two dimensions only and zero thickness. Such as a Triangle defined by its height and base length, Rectangles with width and length etc., are two dimensional figures.If you add thickness with a rectangle for example it becomes a  three dimensional figure.Note a point has no dimenion. A line has one dimension.
