You forgot that the height of the prism is 20 centimeters.....also, you shouldn't be looking up answers on Google....they could be wrong.
They are both trapezoids and so have one pair of parallel sides.
The general formula to calculate area of a trapezoid ( and an isosceles trapezoid) is:AREA=(Sum of parallel sides)(Distance between parallel sides)/2. And if you find this formula difficult, calculate separately the area of two right angled triangles and a rectangles. For more details, contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.com
Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.
In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. In a trapezoid (UK trapezium), only one set of sides is parallel, and the sides may all have unequal lengths, or two sides may have equal length with equal and opposite angles (this is routinely called an isosceles trapezoid).
its non parallel sides are equal. it is vertically symmetrical. any one pair of sides are parallel like in all trapeziums. the co-interior angles between the parallel sides sum up to 90 degrees.
The non-parallel line of an isosceles trapezium are equal.
They are both trapezoids and so have one pair of parallel sides.
In a general trapezium, the non-parallel sides are not congruent. However, in an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are congruent. So the shape is like an isosceles triangle with its apex chopped off by a straight line parallel to its base.

Yes. Any cut parallel to the base will do.
nothing
An Isosceles trapezoid has four sides (is a quadrilateral) with a pair of parallel sides and the other two sides of equal length; whereas An isosceles triangle has three sides with a pair of sides of the same length and the other side a different length.

A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides and a trapezoid has no parallel sides.
Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 of (length of one of the parallel sides + length of the other parallel side) times (distance between the two parallel sides)
