A trapezium, also known as a trapezoid in American English, is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are referred to as the bases, while the non-parallel sides are called the legs. Trapeziums can be classified into different types, such as isosceles trapeziums, where the legs are of equal length, and right trapeziums, which have one right angle. Their properties and calculations, such as area and perimeter, differ based on the lengths of the sides and the angles involved.
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.

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).
