Can't draw it on this site. Try this: Draw a one inch horizontal line. Below the beginning of that line and 1/4 inch to the right, draw a second one inch line at a slight downward diagonal. Now connect the ends of both lines, right to right and left to left. Not a math major, so I down't know the name of it, but that should be it.

What is the difference between square and a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure with two parallel sides. The other two sides are not parallel. A square is a special case of a rectangle, which is a four-sided figure with all four sides having the same length.


Can a trapezoid be a square?

Wikipedia defines a trapezium (trapezoid) as a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. However, it also acknowledges that there is disagreement as to whether or not that means exactly one pair or at least one pair. Under the first definition a trapezium could not be a square whereas under the second, it would. Sorry not to give you an unambiguous answer but ...


Are the diagonals of a trapezoid always congruent?

No, the diagonals of a trapezoid are not always congruent. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. The diagonals of a trapezoid connect the non-parallel vertices, and their lengths can vary depending on the specific dimensions of the trapezoid. In a trapezoid where the non-parallel sides are of equal length, the diagonals will be congruent, but this is not always the case.


Is it possible to draw a quadrilateral that is not a trapezoid or a parallelogram?

Yes, it is possible to draw a quadrilateral that is neither a trapezoid nor a parallelogram. One example is a kite, which has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length but does not have parallel sides. Another example is a concave quadrilateral, where at least one of the interior angles is greater than 180 degrees, making it neither a trapezoid nor a parallelogram.


What is the different between a kite and a parallelogram?

Both shapes have 4 sides, two pairs equal in length. In a parallelogram the equal length sides are opposite each other. In a kite the equal length sides are adjacent.

What is the difference between a parallelogram and a trapezium?

A trapezium has one a pair of parallel lines, a parallelogram has two.


Do all trapeziums have diagonals of equal length?

No. Even in the non-US use of the term (a quadrilateral with at least one set of parallel lines), the lengths of the parallel lines may not be the same, and/or the angles formed by each adjacent side may be different (as in a rhomboid), resulting in diagonals of extremely different lengths.Only in rectangles are diagonals "always" of equal length.

Can a trapezoid have no parallel bases?

No. A quadrilateral is trapezoid if it has at least one pair of parallel sides.


Why a square can never be a trapezoid and?

A square is a special type of quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles. A trapezoid, on the other hand, is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. Since a square has all sides equal in length, it cannot have a pair of parallel sides that are different in length, which is a defining characteristic of a trapezoid. Therefore, a square can never be a trapezoid due to the unique properties that differentiate these two shapes.

What is the name of a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides?

A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides has multiple possible names, depending on what type of quadrilateral it is.SquareRectangleParallelogramRhomboidTrapezoidYou are probably looking for only one pair of parallel sides, which is a trapezoid - both regular and irregular.


Do all quadrilaterals have a least one patterns of parallel sides?

No. An example of a quadrilateral that doesn't have a pair of parallel sides is a kite.
