There is no combination of trapezoids which can form a triangle.

well not exactly, if you have three " isoceles like trapezoid", then you can, provided, you are allowed to overlap.

you should be able to figure it out now....

What if the triangle was equilateral and the trapezoids were isoceles?

You wouldn't need the trapezoids to overlap.

Use the longer 'bottom' edge of each trapezoid and the 'left' edge of the next trapezoid to make up the edge of the triangle. The shorter 'top' edge of the trapezoids touch the 'right' edge of the next trapezoid in the center of the triangle.

Can a trapezoid make a triangle?

No because a trapezoid has 4 sides and a triangle has three if a trapezoid had three then it would be a triangle. If you had 3 trapezoids you could make a triangle!


How many trapezoid in a triangle?

A triangle cannot be formed by any number of trapezoids. Every time a trapezoid is stretched across one side of a triangle, a smaller triangle similar to the first is formed by the part not covered by the trapezoid. Unless... the triangle was equilateral and the trapezoids were isoceles. You could fill the triangle with 3 trapezoids as follows: Use the longer 'bottom' edge of each trapezoid and the 'left' edge of the next trapezoid to make up the edge of the triangle. The shorter 'top' edge of the trapezoids touch the 'right' edge of the next trapezoid in the center of the triangle.

How many trapezoids does it take to make 4 hexagons?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, a trapezoid has 4 sides while a hexagon has 6 sides. To form a hexagon, you need 3 trapezoids because if you try to fit 4 trapezoids together, you're just gonna end up with a wonky shape that's not a hexagon. So, it takes 3 trapezoids to make 4 hexagons. Easy peasy!


How do you divide a triangle into 2 triangles and 2 trapezoids?

Let's assume the triangle has points A, B, and C. Method 1 (3 lines) Draw two lines across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have two trapezoids and one triangle. Draw another line from C to the any point on the closest of the two lines you just drew, splitting the triangle into two more triangles. Method 2 (2 lines) Draw one line across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have one trapezoid and one triangle. Draw a second line that passes through C and is perpendicular to AB, splitting the trapezoid into two trapezoids and the triangle into 2 triangles. Method 3 (3 lines) Draw one line from point C to any point on line segment AB. Then draw a line parallel to AC and one parallel to BC, but don't let them cross the line you just drew.
