Perimeter of Trapezium
The perimeter of the trapezium is defined as the sum of all the sides of the trapezium. A trapezium has 2 parallel sides and two non-parallel sides. Therefore, the perimeter of the trapezium is the sum of parallel sides and the sum of nonparallel sides. The formula for the perimeter of a trapezium when the sides are “a”, “b”, “c”, and “d” is given by,
Perimeter (P) = (a + b + c + d) units
What is the formula to find the area of a Trapezium?
Area of a trapezium is the number of unit squares that can fit into the trapezium, and it is measured in square units. The trapezium, which is also known as the trapezoid, is a closed quadrilateral that contains a pair of parallel sides, whereas the other pair of sides are not parallel. The sides may or may not vary in length.
The parallel sides of the trapezium are called the bases of the trapezium. The distance between the bases is known as the height of the trapezium. The height of the trapezium is also known as the altitude. The non-parallel sides of the trapezium are known as the legs. The sum of the interior angles of the trapezium is 360°. It has 4 sides and 4 vertices.
