Sometimes.

One side can be perpendicular to the two parallel sides, but doesn't have to be.

Does an isosceles trapezium have any perpendicular lines?

In its normal orientation the parallel sides of a trapezium are horizontal. In that case it will have no perpendicular lines. But turn the figure through 90 degrees and it has two!In its normal orientation the parallel sides of a trapezium are horizontal. In that case it will have no perpendicular lines.

Can a trapezium have a right angle?

Yes, it can can have two right angles. However, only 2 sides are parallel in a trapezium. One side of the two remaining sides can be perpendicular to the parallel sides, making it have two right angles.


How many right angles does a trapezium have?

A trapezium (or trapezoid in North America) does not necessarily have any right angles. The only requirement is that it is a quadrilateral (4 sided polygon) with one pair of parallel sides. If one of the sides is perpendicular to the bottom base, then it is also perpendicular to the top (so 2 right angles). If the other side is also perpendicular to the bottom base then it will be perpendicular to the top base as well, then it is a rectangle, with four right angles.

Do all rectangles have adjacent sides that are perpendicular?

Yes, otherwise it would be a different shape such as a rhombus or trapezium.


What are the characteristics of a trapezium?

has two parallel sideshas four straight linesThe area of the trapezium is given by the following formula where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides.


What shapes don't have perpendicular diagnals?

Regular polygons whose number of sides are not even will not have any parallel sides, e.g. triangle, pentagon, heptagon.Irregular polygons of any number of sides may have no parallel sides (e.g. an irregular quadrilateral, known in the US as a trapezium).


What features does a trapezium?

A trapezium has one set of parallel lines and the one of them has the lines of symmetry but the other one doesn't have any. Trapezium doesn't have perpendicular lines


How many perpendicular lines are there in a trapezium?

A trapezium has no right angles therefore there are no perpendicular lines. If it had perpendicular lines, it would be a square or rectangle.
