Is there a trapezoid with right angle?

Yes. Imagine a right-angled triangle with one of its legs forming the base. Cut of the apex (the top angle) using a line parallel to the base. You will then have a trapezoid with a right angle. In fact, since a trapezoid contains a pair of parallel lines, it has two pairs of supplementary angles (add up to 180 deg). So a trapezoid cannot have only one right angle. If there is one, there must be 2 (or 4).


Is every trapezoid a trapezoid?

Yes it is. The reason you decide to call it a trapezoid is because it is a trapezoid,and if it were not one, you would not call it one. So, since it has the label "trapezoid"painted on it when you meet it, and we have just said that in order to earn thatlabel it must be a trapezoid, we may conclude that if it is known to be a trapezoid,then it must ipso facto be a trapezoid.


What is a trapezoid cut in half called?
