It is also known as trapezium. It is a quadrilateral shape which has a pair of parallel sides.
Properties of Trapezoid
- Known as trapezium in UK.
- It has a pair of parallel sides.
- Parallel sides are called bases of trapezoid.
Area of Trapezoid
The area of trapezoid is given by:
A=h.[(a + b)/2]
Where, a and b are the two bases of trapezoid, h is the height.
Parameter of Trapezoid
Parameter of trapezoid is the sum of the length of all sides.
P= a + b + c + d
Median of Trapezoid
The median of a trapezoid is the midline halfway between the two bases.
m= (a + b)/2
