What is a trapezoid

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly two parallel sides (the bases) and two non-parallel sides (the legs). The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the properties of a trapezoid?

In a trapezoid, the two bases are parallel. In an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal, the base angles are equal, and the diagonals are equal to each other.

What is the midsegment of a trapezoid?

The midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the legs and equals half the sum of the bases: m = (a + b) / 2. The midsegment is parallel to the bases.

How do you find the area of a trapezoid?

Area of a trapezoid = (sum of bases) × height / 2, or S = (a + b) × h / 2.
