Does a trapezoid contain 2 right angles?

Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.


Can a trapezoid have 3 bases?

No, a trapezoid cannot have 3 bases. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases of the trapezoid. Therefore, there can only be 2 bases.


Can any side of a trapezoid can be called a base?

The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the two non-parallel sides are the legs. If you call any other pair of sides the bases, the formula for the area of the trapezoid will no longer work.
