How many angles are in a trapezium?
The interior angles of a trapezium = 360°The British definition of a trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.
Facts about a trapezium?
A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides). Two sides are parellel, but the other two are not. To find the area of it, the formula is: 1/2 h(a+b)
Is there a rule to describe a trapezium?
Not really. In "American" English a trapezium is a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. In "British" English a trapezium is a quadrilateral with two sides parallel. --- however --- You need to compare these usages with trapezoid.... which sees the definitions almost reversed. In "American" English a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel lines. In "British" English a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. -- Note -- A British "trapezium" could arguably include a square.

What is a polygon with 4 sides none of the same length?
The only terms that definitely apply are "quadrilateral" (or more specifically an "incongruent quadrilateral") and "quadrangle."The polygon may also be a trapezoid or a trapezium, but it is also possible to have a trapezoid or trapezium with two sides equal. Also note that the British and American definitions of trapezoid and trapezium are exactly reversed: an American trapezoid is a British trapezium, and a British trapezoid is an American trapezium.A polygon with 4 sides is called a quadrilateral. There is no special name to indicate that it has no two equal sides.
