Kidney stones, also known as urolithiasis, are a common affliction of the urinary tract.
No. In order for a quadrilateral to be a trapezoid, it must have exactly one pair of parallel sides. A right trapezoid, therefore, has exactly one pair of right angles. However a square would be a right parallelogram (which is the current definition of a rectangle). In the UK, the word trapezoid refers to a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. They use the word trapezium to refer to what Canadians call a trapezoid. To make matters worse, North Americans call a quadrilateral with no parallel sides a trapezium. Here's a summary.
Save. gionnixxx/iStock/Getty Images. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral -- a four sided shape -- with two parallel sides, called bases, of unequal length. You can find the area of a trapezoid using the lengths of these two sides, and the distance between the two sides, called the height.If you don't know a trapezoid's height, solve for it using the Pythagorean Theorem and length of the trapezoid's diagonals, the two sides that connect its bases.rea, A, is given by the lengths of the two bases, b1 and b2, divided by 2 and multiplied by the trapezoid's height, h, as follows: A = (b1 + b2) / 2 x h. Take a trapezoid whose bases are 4 and 6 inches long and which is 2 inches high.
