    Math Definitions -> T -> Trapezoid

 Trapezoid


A trapezoid (UK: trapezium) is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.

It is not a parallelogram because only one pair of sides is parallel.

It is called a regular trapezoid if the sides that aren't parallel are equal in length and both angles coming from a parallel side are equal (shown on the right).
