In geometry, a trapezoid (/ ˈ t r æ p ə z ɔɪ d /) in North American English, or trapezium (/ t r ə ˈ p iː z i ə m /) in British English, [1] [2] is a quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides. [3] The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid.
The area of an isosceles (or any) trapezoid is equal to the average of the lengths of the base and top (the parallel sides) times the height. In the adjacent diagram, if we write AD = a , and BC = b , and the height h is the length of a line segment between AD and BC that is perpendicular to them, then the area K is
The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be simplified using Pitot's theorem to get a formula for the area of a tangential trapezoid. If the bases have lengths a, b, and any one of the other two sides has length c, then the area K is given by the formula [2] (This formula can be used only in cases where the bases are parallel.)
