It depends upon the size of the polygon, as well as its orientation (flat on the ground, or placed upright, etc.).
A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height
The area of a four-sided polygon is base times height.
The segment that connects the center of a regular polygon to an outer edge, forming the height of a triangle, is called the "apothem." The apothem is perpendicular to the side of the polygon and is essential for calculating the area of the polygon. It is also the distance from the center to the midpoint of a side.
What is the special name for the segment that connects the center of a regular polygon to an outer edge to form the height of a triangle
A triangle.
Height
A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height
The area of a four-sided polygon is base times height.
It's different for every polygon. For example, for a triangle, it's (1/2) x (base) x (height). For a rectangle, it's (the entire) (base) x (height).

A triangle.
Trapezoids do not have right angles. You probably thinking of a polygon or quadralateral.
