Definition of a trapezoid (also known as trapezium)  

Trapezoid is a quadrilateral in which only one pair of opposite sides are parallel

 

Properties of a trapezoid (trapezium UK)  

1. The middle line of the trapezoid is parallel to the bases and is equal to their half-sum.

2. The bisector of any angle of the trapezoid cuts off on its base (or continuation) an interval equal to the leg.

3. The triangles , formed by segments of the diagonals and the bases of the trapezoid, are similar.

4. Triangles formed by segments of the diagonals and the leg of the trapezoid, have the same area.

5. A circle can be inscribed into a trapezoid if the sum of the bases of the trapezoid is equal to the sum of its lateral sides.

6. The segment connecting the midpoints of the diagonals is equal to the half-difference of the bases and lies on the midline.

7. The intersection point of the diagonals of the trapezoid, the point of intersection of the extensions of its lateral sides and the middle of the bases lie on one straight line.

8. If the sum of the angles at any base of the trapezoid is 90 °, then the segment connecting the midpoints of the bases is equal to their half-difference.
