How to Make a Trapezoid

Trapezoid is a type of quadrilateral with two equal opposite pair of sides. Trapezoid has four sides which are in different size. The sum of total interior angle will be 360º and also an exterior angle 360º. The sum of adjacent angle will be 180º. Let us see how to make a trapezoid.



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 formula:

Isosceles trapezoid is also a type of 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

How to make a isosceles trapezoid with a long base B that is 10cm long, a short base d that is 5 cm long and 35 degree angle



Step-1 Take a scale and draw a straight line of it’s length 10 cm and mark it as ‘n’ ‘o’ for the base B.

Step-2 And then take the protractor and keep it in the line n and mark 90o

Step-3 And draw a straight line. Now mark it as ‘m’.

Step-4 Now take ‘m’ ‘n’ as the line and using the protractor mark 90o and draw a straight line.

Step-5 From o mark 35o by using the protractor. So that we can join the line and mark it as p

This is how to make a trapezoid.
