That depends where the cut is made if it's from vertex to vertex it will make 2 triangles otherwise it will make 2 quadrilaterals

When a trapezoid is cut in half, the resulting shape is two identical triangles. Each triangle will have a base that is half the length of the original trapezoid's base, and the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid will become the two equal sides of the triangles. The height of the trapezoid will also be split in half to form the height of each triangle.

Oh, dude, a trapezoid cut in half would be two triangles, like if you take a slice of Pizza and then cut it down the middle. So, yeah, you'd have two right-angled triangles, not a trapezoid anymore. Geometry, man, it's wild.

Well, honey, a trapezoid cut in half would give you two pieces that are each a triangle. So, technically speaking, a trapezoid cut in half results in two triangles. Hope that clears things up for you, darling.
