               6.TRAPEZOID



























               Look at the picture of the traditional house above!

               The shape of the lower roof of the house is called a trapezoid. Now look at

               the sides of the trapezoid on the roof of the house! What can you say? Of

               course you say that the upper and lower sides of the trapezoid are parallel

               and the other side is not.


               Based on your observations above, you can define a trapezoid as follows.
               A  trapezoid  is  a  quadrilateral  that  has  exactly  one  pair  of  parallel


               opposite sides. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair

               of parallel opposite sides.


                The  quadrilateral  ABCD  on  the  side  is  a

                trapezoid  ABCD.  Sides  AB  and  DC  are  called
                 the base of the trapezoid, side AB is parallel to

                side DC, while sides AD and BC are called the

                 legs  of  the  trapezoid.  Furthermore,  the
                quadrilateral  ABCD  is  called  an  arbitrary

                trapezoid.


                                                                                                       15
