How do you draw 2 lines in a square to make 2 same-size triangles and 2 same-size trapezoids?

Draw one line vertically - splitting the square in half, and draw one line diagonally - corner to corner.

Why a square can never be a trapezoid and?
A square cannot be a trapezoid because a trapezoid has only one set of parallel lines. One of the trapezoids lines will eventually intersect. A square has two pairs of parallel lines.
Do some trapezoids have 4 right angles?
Yes. Those trapezoids with four right angles are called squares. Since in order to be a trapezoids, a shape must be a quadrilateral with with one set of parallel lines, and a square fits those requirements. In conclusion, the trapezoids that have four right angles are squares.
How do parallelograms and trapezoids differ?
parallelograms have two sets of parallel lines trapezoids do not
What triangles are formed when you draw 2 diagonal lines through a corner ofWhat 2 triangles are formed when you draw 2 diagonal lines through a corner of a square?
Isosceles
Are trapezoids always similar?
Most of the time trapezoids are similar but in some cases they are not Depends on what you call "similar." In mathematics, "similar" triangles have the same angles, but differ in size. One might be a shrunken version of the other. In that case, they are usually not. The only requirement for a trapezoid is the four sides with either pair of sides being parallel. So, yes, a square is a trapezoid as well. Try this: Draw two parallel lines. Now draw two lines connecting them anywhere you want. The enclosed area is the trapezoid. Can you see how there are an infinite number of trapezoids you can make?
What is the difference between triangles and trapezoids?
Triangles have three sides while trapezoids are quadrilaterals with four sides. Trapezoids have one set of parallel lines. Triangles do not have any sets of parallel lines.
Which figures out of Triangles Trapezoids squares or pentagons have the same number of lines of symmetry?
triangles
Do triangles and trapezoids have the same number of lines of symmetry?
yes it has the same number of lines of symmetry

Do trapezoids have perpendicular sides?
Trapezoids do not have perpendicular lines.
Why are trapezoids not parrelegrams?
Parallelograms have two sets of parallel lines. Trapezoids only have one pair of parallel lines.

Are all rectangles trapezoids?
NO rectangles are trapezoids
Why a square can never be a trapezoid?
Squares are required to have TWO pairs of parallel lines, whereas trapezoids are required to have only ONE pair of parallel lines. Hope this helps!
