A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with two parallel sides. As with any polygon, to find the perimeter of a trapezoid you need to add all four of its sides together. However, often you will be missing side lengths but have other information, such as the height of the trapezoid, or the angle measurements. Using this information, you can use rules of geometry and trigonometry to find the unknown lengths of sides. | A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with two parallel sides.
