In this post the central point of the topic is trapezoids, as well as their properties. A trapezoid is a flat geometric figure formed by four sides. Two of them are parallel and are called bases. The geometry of the trapezoid has its roots in Ancient Greece, where mathematicians such as Euclid and Archimedes studied its properties1. The name “trapezium” comes from the Greek trapezion, which means “square table”. The trapeze was also used by the Egyptians in the construction of pyramids and temples.
