THE TRAPEZIUM

There is one more special type of quadrilateral which frequently occurs in practical work, the trapezium; this is a quadrilateral with just one pair of opposite sides parallel.
In the side figure, this is a trapezium ABCD with an axis of symmetry. Such a figure is called an isosceles trapezium.

  1. I want to discuss about trapezium,A trapezium has no parallel sides and any quadrilateral drawn randomly would probably be a trapezium and if the quadrilateral had one pair of parallel sides then it is a trapezoid and if both pairs of sides are parallel its a parallelogram.
