was doing a coordinate geo question just now and tried to look up properties of trapezium. For British definition of trapezium, there is 1 parallel side while there is no parallel side of US definition. Do I follow the british definition?
Hi,
Follow the Brit's definition.
In the American definition, it's called "trapezoid" and it has at least a pair of parallel sides.
