Parallelogram vs Trapezoid Parallelogram and trapezoid (or trapezium) are two convex quadrilaterals. Even though these are quadrangles, the geometry of the trapezoid differs significantly from the parallelograms. Parallelogram Parallelogram can be defined as the geometric figure with four sides, with opposite sides parallel to each other. More precisely it is a quadrilateral with two […]

Difference Between Altitude and Median
Altitude vs Median Altitude and median are two heights used when discussing the geometry of a triangle. Altitudes of a Triangle Altitude of a triangle is a line segment perpendicular to a side and passing through the vertex opposing the side. Since a triangle has 3 sides, they each have a unique altitude per […]
Difference Between Mean, Median and Mode
Mean vs Median vs Mode Mean, median, and mode are the primary measures of central tendency used in descriptive statistics. They are completely different from each other and cases in which they are used to summarize the data are also different. Mean The arithmetic mean is the sum of the data values divided by […]
Difference Between Mile and Nautical Mile
Mile vs Nautical Mile Miles and nautical miles are two units used for measuring length and distances. Both have older origins compared to the SI units, and they are not consistent units. Miles Mile, also called the statute mile or the land mile is a unit for measuring length in the imperial system of […]
Difference Between Rocket and Missile
Rocket vs Missile When discussing about rockets the impression is that they are high tech and complicated machinery used in defence and space exploration. Even these are often related to almost fantastical feats in human history; rockets have both simple and ancient origins. Today they are used in many forms to obtain range, high […]
Difference Between Spectrometer and Spectrophotometer
Spectrometer vs Spectrophotometer Intensive scientific research in different fields sometimes requires identifying compounds in living organisms, minerals, and perhaps the composition of stars. The chemically sensitive nature, difficulty of pure extraction, and distance make it almost impossible to identify the compounds properly in each case shown above by ordinary chemical analysis. Spectroscopy is a […]
Difference Between Rectangle and Rhombus
Rectangle vs Rhombus Rhombus and rectangle are quadrilaterals. The geometry of these figures were known to man for thousands of years. The subject is explicitly treated in the book “Elements” written by Greek mathematician Euclid. Parallelogram Parallelogram can be defined as the geometric figure with four sides, with opposite sides parallel to each other. […]

Difference Between Median and Average (Mean)
Median vs Average (Mean) Median and mean are measures of central tendency in descriptive statistics. Often Arithmetic mean is considered as the average of a set of observations. Therefore, here mean is considered as the average. However, average is not the arithmetic mean at all the times. Average The arithmetic mean is the sum […]
