Answer:
b) One pair of opposite sides are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides is called, in American and Canadian English, a trapezoid. In British and other forms of English, a trapezoid is called a trapezium. The transposition of these two terms was a result of an error in Charles Hutton's mathematical dictionary.
Properties of Trapezium
- It is a 2D shape.
- The bases of a trapezium are parallel to each other.
- The length of both the diagonals is equal.
- The diagonals of a trapezium always intersect each other.
- The adjacent interior angles sum up to 180°.
- The sum of all the interior angles in a trapezium is always 360°.
- Two angles on the same side are supplementary, that is the sum of the angles of two adjacent sides is equal to 180°.
- Its diagonals bisect with each other.
- The length of the mid-segment is equal to 1/2 the sum of the bases. the mid-segment= 1/2 (AB+CD)
- In special cases of the isosceles trapezium, legs of the trapezium are congruent to each other. This means that despite being non-parallel, the measurement of both the legs is equal
A trapezium is a two-dimensional quadrilateral (as it is made of four straight lines) having a pair of parallel opposite sides. The opposite parallel sides are referred to as the base and the non-parallel sides are referred to as legs of the trapezium. It is a closed plane shape having four sides and four corners
