A scriptorium is commonly a large room set apart in a monastery for the use of the scribes or copyists of the community.When no special room was devoted to this purpose, separate little cells or studies called carrels were usually made in the cloister, each scribe having a window and desk to himself.he rules of the scriptorium varied in different monasteries, but artificial light was forbidden for fear of injury to the manuscripts, and silence was always enforced. As a general rule those of the monks who possessed skill as writers made this their chief, if not their sole active work.
Another quadrilateral that you might see is called a rhombus. All four sides of a rhombus are congruent. Its properties include that each pair of opposite sides is parallel, also making it a parallelogram. In summary, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
The number of sides; The interior angles (the angles inside). The length of the sides. These properties help use to remember which shapes are which and why they so called (in some cases). Let us look at shapes that have 4 sides Quadrilaterals (Quad- means 4). Quadrilaterals ALWAYS have 4 sides. The interior angles of a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees. Here are the quadrilaterals you are expected to know about. Square; Rhombus; Rectangle; Parallelogram; Trapezium; Kite; That does not seem to many does it. Let us look at the properties of quadrilaterals. Square. A square has got 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angles (right angle = 90 degrees).
