Four sides
The best description I have recently heard is "a triangle with the top chopped off". Take any triangle and put one side on the bottom as the base side. Now "cut off" the top angle with a line parallel to the base side and the resulting shape is a trapezium.
Four sides
there are 8 quadrilatrals in total these are square,rhombus,rectangle,parallegram,trapizuim/kite,oblong and deltathere are 8 quadrilatrals in total these are square,rhombus,rectangle,parallegram,trapizuim/kite,oblong and delta
The six quadrilaterals are a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram, a trapizuim, and a kite.

First you write the formula for the area of a trapezium, either from memory or by looking it up. Then you substitute the lengths of the sides in your trapezium for each of the appropriate terms in the formula. Oh, all right: Area = 1/2 (height) x (length of base-1 plus length of base-2).
