Trapezoid
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (a polygon with four sides) that has only one pair of parallel sides
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (a polygon with four sides) that has only one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid. The non-parallel sides are called the legs or the slant sides. The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (base1 + base2) * height / 2
where base1 and base2 are the lengths of the bases, and height is the perpendicular distance between the bases.
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. To find the perimeter, you can add the lengths of the bases and the lengths of the legs together.
It’s important to note that there are different types of trapezoids, such as isosceles trapezoids, where the non-parallel sides are equal in length, and trapezium, which is the British term for what Americans call a trapezoid.
