The fl stones have the shape of a trapezium.
This is the British sense of the word trapezium where two sizes of a quadrilateral are parallel.
If the marked stone were at a, the trapezium would become a bamboo joint, if it were at b, it would become a table shape, and if it were at c it would become a tippy table.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Stole
It has either a uniform width throughout, or is somewhat narrower towards the middle, widening at the ends in the shape of a trapezium or spade.
A small cross is generally sewed or embroidered on the stole at both ends and in the middle; the cross, however, is prescribed only for the middle, where the priest kisses the stole before putting it on.
Towards the thirteenth century the ends came to be trapezium-shaped; in the fourteenth century this shape disappeared, and until the sixteenth century the stole was a strip of material of uniform width, and only ornamented with fringe at the ends.

 CHAPTER 1 - BASIC TERMS AND CALCULATIONS
It might be necessary to calculate, for example, the surface area of the cross-section of a canal or the surface area of a farm.
Another method to calculate the surface area of a trapezium is to divide the trapezium into a rectangle and two triangles, to measure their sides and to determine separately the surface areas of the rectangle and the two triangles (see Fig.
When the shape of the field is regular and has, for example, a rectangular shape, it should not be too difficult to calculate the surface area once the length of the field (that is the base of its regular shape) and the width of the field have been measured (see Fig.

 Brabham Alfa Romeo BT46
The idea, to design the cross-section of the monocoque chassis in the shape of a trapezium, had been done for the first time by Maurice Phillippe and it had been simply brilliant.
Reutemann had left the team in the middle of 1976 and Pace had had a fatal air crash in the spring of 1977; Watson and Stuck had not often failed by the pretty unreliable Milanese engine blown, when being in promising positions, but very often simply by a lack of fuel.
With the BT46 Gordon Murray brought back the pure trapezium shape in spite of the big tanks and with additional splitters behind the front wheels (that had got the task to stabilize the lateral air flow very similar to today´s deflectors).
