Properties of Trapeziums: Exploring AB || DC
In a trapezium, the opposite sides are parallel to each other, so it is correct to say that "AB is parallel to DC" in the trapezium ABCD.
A trapezium is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases and the non-parallel sides are called legs. In this case, AB and DC are the bases and AD and BC are the legs.
The area of a trapezium is given by the formula:
Area = (1/2) x (sum of parallel sides) x (distance between them)
So, for the trapezium ABCD, the area would be:
Area = (1/2) x (AB + DC) x (distance between them)
