Area of Trapezoids, Rhombuses, and Kites

7.5: Trapezoids & Kites Practice Questions

​

Trapezoid

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

• ​The parallel sides of a trapezoid are its bases.

• The nonparallel sides are its legs.

• Two angles that share a base of a trapezoid are base angles of a trapezoid.
