Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! To find the height of a trapezoid when you know the length of the two bases and the area, you can use a simple formula. You would divide the area by half the sum of the bases to find the height, just like painting a beautiful mountain in your landscape. Just remember, there are many ways to approach a problem, and each one is like a unique brushstroke on your canvas.

Not necessarily. The two sides of equal length could be adjacent sides.
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 ...
The nonparallel sides of a trapezoid are called the legs. The parallel sides are called the bases.
Oh, isn't that just a happy little math problem! If the median of an isosceles trapezoid is 5.5, then the sum of the bases is twice the length of the median. So, the bases could be 6 and 5, or 7 and 4, or 8 and 3, or any other pair of integers that add up to 11. Just remember, there are many happy little solutions to this problem!
It could be a right angle trapezoid whereas the other two angles are acute and obtuse
