Base of a 2-Dimensional Figure
An element (segment, polygon, etc.) identified for the purpose of providing a measure or a definition.
Examples
- A triangle is a polygon with three sides, each of which can serve as its base to calculate the area.
- By definition, the base of a cone is the plane surface of the solid; the other face is a curved surface.
- A trapezoid has two bases: a large base B and a small base b.
