Clavus's map in thetrapezoidal projection invented by himself, whereby his Greenland has been given a more oblique position than the Greenland of the original map and the corresponding peninsula on the Medici map.
A tetartohedral solid of the hexagonal system, bounded by six trapezoidal planes.
A solid of five sides, having a rectangular base, two rectangular or trapezoidal sides meeting in an edge, and two triangular ends.
Side and top sections are joined with seams, reinforced by finger impressions, meeting at top of trapezoidal opening.
It has a roughly oval beehive shape with a trapezoidal framed opening in which a pottery door fits snugly.
It is not apparent that one form of ditch is particularly preferable to the other and since some engineers prefer the V section and others the trapezoidal section both are shown.
It would appear that the V shaped ditch is somewhat the easier to construct with the blade grader while the trapezoidal is readily excavated with the slip or fresno scraper.
It is generally stated that the trapezoidal outline was adopted in order to allow the water to enter the ditch from a running stream and to part easily into two channels (fig.
In this feature Pompeii resembles the trapezoidaloutlines of the Terremare (fig.
Whatever the reason, the trapezoidal house-blocks of Pompeii exhibit a feature which is not alien to the earlier town-planning of Italy, though it is strange to the cities of Greece.
Suppose the channel is to be trapezoidal in section (fig.
Ratio of Mean to Greatest Surface Velocity, for the whole Cross Section in Trapezoidal Channels.
In channels of trapezoidal form the velocity increases and diminishes with the discharge.
The bricks composing it are trapezoidal in shape, two of their sides being slightly rounded--the one concave, the other convex.
This trapezoidal monolith, Egyptian in style, is 13 ft.
All the voussoirs, which have issued from a single mould, have a slightlytrapezoidal shape, like the stone voussoirs of our most carefully built edifices.
It is a monolith of slightly trapezoidal form, rounded in the upper part.
Defn: A solid of five sides, having a rectangular base, two rectangular or trapezoidal sides meeting in an edge, and two triangular ends.
In the deciduous P4 the anterior cingulum is projected strongly anteriorly forming the apex of the sharpest angle of a triangle, whereas the permanent P4 is trapezoidal in occlusal pattern.
The general form {hkl} is bounded by eight trapezoidal faces and is the tetragonal trapezohedron.
Bounded by twenty-four trapezoidal faces, and hence sometimes called a "trapezohedron.
The general form {hikl} is the hexagonal trapezohedron bounded by twelve trapezoidal faces.
This is the hemihedral form of the triakis-octahedron; it has the indices {hhk} and is bounded by twelve trapezoidal faces.
The bricks composing it are trapezoidal in shape, two of their edges being slightly rounded, the one concave, the other convex.
Such a section seems, upon paper, the simplest that could be adopted for the filling in of the angle between two of the steps, but it is far inferior in solidity to the trapezoidal section.
If not unknown in bays of rectangular plan, this was probably a first attempt to apply these intersecting ribs to bays of trapezoidal shape, a problem especially difficult when these bays had two curved sides.
Perhaps to avoid this the builders of Saint Steven at Nymwegen and of the cathedral at Brandenburg left the eastern bay trapezoidal so that there might be a central Lady chapel.
This advance combined with its height and general character may perhaps entitle the ambulatory of Le Mans to rank as the finest in Gothic architecture and the high water mark of the trapezoidal four-part broken ribbed vault.
Accordingly the fact that some of the earliest ribbed vaults appear over the ambulatory is readily explained by the trapezoidal shape of the vaulting bays, for which a wooden centering would have been especially difficult to construct.
The arrangement at Saint Remi has been described, that at Chalons consists of a simple four-part vault of trapezoidal form with outer and inner sides curved.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "trapezoidal" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
