What geometric term describes the place where a wall and the floor meet?
Tangent plane "is the floor". I never heard that the touching point has a specific name.
Is a trapezoid sometimes always or never a parallelogram?
A trapezoid is never a parallelogram. The definition of a parallelogram is a four sided figure with 2 pairs of parallel sides and a trapezoid only has 1 pair of parallel sides.
Explain why a square can never be a trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a four-sided figure with only one pair of parallel sides. A square will always have two pairs of parallel sides.
All trapezoids are kites?
Not all trapezoids are kites. A trapezoid is a 4-sided figure with a pair of parallel sides, so any item, not just kites, can manifest this shape.
Can a rhombus be a trapezoid?
The answer depends on which definition of trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) is used.Some mathematicians define a trapezoid as any four-sided figure with at least one pair of parallel sides. Using that definition, a rhombus is a special type of trapezoid because a rhombus is a figure with two sets of parallel sides.Others are more strict, using the name trapezoid only for four-sided figures with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition a rhombus is not a trapezoid.
