The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the two non-parallel sides are called the legs. An isosceles trapezium is a trapezium where the two legs are of equal length.<\/p>\n<p>An isosceles trapezium is a special type of trapezium where the two legs are of equal length. This means that the two bases are also of equal length. An isosceles trapezium is often drawn with its bases connected by a line, as shown in the diagram.<\/p>\n<p>Isosceles trapeziums have a few special properties. First, the angles at the two bases are equal. This is because the bases are parallel, and therefore the angles between them are also equal. Second, the angles at the two legs are also equal. This is because the legs are equal in length, and therefore the angles between them are also equal.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the area of an isosceles trapezium is given by the formula:<\/p>\n<p>A = (base1 \u00d7 height) + (base2 \u00d7 height)<\/p>\n<p>Where height is the distance between the two bases.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scalene_Trapezium\"><\/span>Scalene Trapezium:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A scalene trapezium is a trapezium in which all four of the sides are of different lengths.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Properties_of_Trapezium\"><\/span>Properties of Trapezium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A trapezium is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides.<\/p>\n<p>The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the other two sides are called the legs.<\/p>\n<p>The angles between the two parallel sides are called the angles of the trapezium.<\/p>\n<p>The length of the two parallel sides is called the base length.<\/p>\n<p>The height of the trapezium is the perpendicular distance from one base to the other.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Area_of_Trapezium\"><\/span>Area of Trapezium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A trapezium is a four-sided figure with two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides.
