Quadrilateral Trapezoid

A quadrilateral is a two-dimensional figure created by connecting four segments endpoint to endpoint with each segment intersecting exactly two others. It also has four sides and four angles. Sum of interior angle of any polygon is (n-2) *180o. Here quadrilateral has four sides so interior angle is (4-2)*180o = 360o.Exterior angle of any polygon is 360o so the exterior angle of a quadrilateral is 360 degree.

Characteristics of Trapezoid :-

The trapezoid is a type of a quadrilateral.
A pair of opposite equal sides is known as trapezoid.
A trapezoid has unequal sides.
Normally the trapezoid has no lines of symmetry.
A trapezoid is an irregular shape.
Two trapezoids can be used to form a Parallelogram.
There will be one pair of parallel lines in a trapezoid
Perimeter of a trapezoid is to sum all the length’s of the trapezoid
Perimeter = a + b + c + B
Area of a trapezoid is ½ h ( B + b )
The sum of the adjacent angles are equal to 180o
The sum of all the interior angles are equal to 360o
Isosceles trapezoid is a type or trapezoid

Isosceles Trapezoid


                   Isosceles trapezoid

Characteristics of  Isosceles Trapezoid :-

The Isosceles trapezoid is a type of trapezoid.
If non-parallel pair of opposite sides of a trapezium is equal then it is called as isosceles trapezium.
The angles on the both sides of the base are equal
The sum of the adjacent angles are equal to 180o
There will be one pair of parallel lines in a Isosceles trapezoid
There will be one pair of opposite sides which are equal
In a Isosceles trapezoid diagonals are equal
The sum of two adjacent angles are equal to 180o
The sum of all the interior angles are equal to 360o
