Let the other parallel side be x:-
If: 0.5*(6.25+x)*3.5 = 26.25
Then: x = -6.25+(26.25*2)/3.5 => 8.75 cm
Check: 0.5*(6.25+8.75)*3.5 = 26.25 square cm
The answer is 8.75 cm.
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel bases)*height Need to know the measure of the other base

A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides. The other sides intersect so they are not parallel.
If two sides are parallel and the other two aren't, the shape is a trapezoid.
Yes, the top and bottom are parallel to each other.

The perimeter is 48 cm.
A trapezoid has two parallel sides, and two that are not. Call the distance between the two parallel sides the height (H). Add the length of the two parallel sides (L1 + L2), multiple this by the height (H) and then divide by 2. This can be experessed as - ((L1 + L2) * H ) / 2 Remember, L1 and L2 are the length of the parallel sides, and H is the distance between the parallel sides. We do not care about the length or angle of the other sides.
A trapezoid is a shape which has parallel lines and two other lines connecting the parallel ones.
http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Rectangles/Different-between-parallelogram-rectangle-square-rhombus-and-trapezoid.lesson That site says, "A quadrangle which has only one of the two opposite sides as parallel is called a Trapezoid. The other opposite sides need not be parallel. If both pair of opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel then it becomes a parallelogram. The trapezoid does not follow the basic properties of a parallelogram."

The area of a trapezoid = 1/2 (altitude)(base 1 + base 2) *altitude can also be called the height, or the spacing between the parallel sides. Base 1 is the length of one of the parallel sides, and base 2 is the length of the other parallel side.

If two sides are parallel and the other two aren't, the shape is a trapezoid.
A trapezoid is a four-sided figure with two parallel sides. The other two sides are not parallel. A square is a special case of a rectangle, which is a four-sided figure with all four sides having the same length.
No. It has one pair of parallel lines, but the other lines are not parallel.
Yes, the top and bottom are parallel to each other.
