What is a Trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a special shape! It has four sides:
- The top side is wide.
- The bottom side is smaller.
- There are two sides that connect the top to the bottom.
Imagine if you cut off a triangle's pointy top — that’s like a trapezoid!
Key Features of a Trapezoid:
- Top Side: It’s bigger than the bottom side.
- Bottom Side: It’s smaller than the top side.
