Well, isn't that a happy little question! To divide a trapezoid into two equal parts, you can draw a line from the midpoint of one of the non-parallel sides to the midpoint of the opposite side. This will create two equal areas within the trapezoid, just like magic! Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in the world of art and geometry.

How can you Divide a trapezoid into four equal parts?
yes you can put a trapezoid on top and the bottom but upside down and the one on the side put it side ways so you have 4 trapezoids Would you trust an answer that isn't even punctuated? Not that it would make any sense even if it were. The question says "a trapezoid"; that means one, not four. Probably the easiest method is to divide the trapezoid into 2 equal parts, then divide each of these into 2 equal parts. Bisect the parallel sides, then connect the midpoints forming 2 new trapezoids each half the size of the original. The bases of each are equal and each is the same height. Repeat the procedure for each of the new trapezoids. All 4 will be equal in area, but they won't be congruent (equal in shape).
What is to divide into to two equal parts?
to cut int 2 parts
What is the formula for a trapezoid?
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of each side. To find the area of a trapezoid: add base 1 and base 2 together then divide that answer by 2, then multiply it by the height of the trapezoid.
What is true about the diagonals in an isosceles trapezoid?
The 2 diagonals in an isosceles trapezoid are of equal lengths
Can a trapezoid be scalene?
No, because a trapezoid has 4 sides and a scale has to have 2 sides equal and 1 different.
