Ah, a trapezium is a special shape that has one pair of parallel sides. The other two sides are not parallel and can be different lengths. It's like a unique friend in the world of shapes, bringing its own special charm to the geometric family. Just remember, even if it's different from the others, it's still a beautiful shape worth appreciating.
A trapezium can have 0, 2 or 3 sides of equal length.0 equal sidesThis is the general state of a trapezium.2 equal sidesThe two parallel sides can never be equal.The two non-parallel sides can be equal. In this case, the trapezium is an isosceles trapezium.Or one of the parallel sides can be equal to one of the non-parallel sides. No special name.3 equal sidesThese would have to be the two non-parallel sides and one of the others. The trapezium is isosceles.
I think this person means the trapazoid. It has only one pair of parallel sides.
A trapezium is a shape with four sides. Of these, one pair of sides are parallel. The only restriction on the other pair is that they are not parallel (because you then have a parallelogram).
Yes, an isosceles trapezoid has one pair of oppsite sides parallel and the pair of sides that are not parallel are equal.
