- It is also relatively easy to make, as long as you don't get too fussed about perfect trapezoids of bread and the delicate art of construction.
- The bold monochrome panels in other works, such as the juxtaposed trapezoids in the Birds Over Loop pieces, are reminiscent of Sean Scully's paintings.
- It is not an easy show: a dozen works on paper, single coloured trapezoids, subtle curves and rhomboids, hung sparely in a stark white interior.
- 1.1North American A quadrilateral with one pair of sides parallel.
〈英〉不规则四边形 Compare with trapezium Example sentencesExamples - Wood blinds, meanwhile, can fit a variety of applications, including quarter arches, full arches, angles, trapezoids, hexagons and triangles.

- The key elements of our total approach include measurements, models, and data, which are represented by the black squares, trapezoids, and ellipses respectively.
- For example, Angel consists of three layers of open triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms and pentagons, once again made of wood.
- With their vast knowledge of geometry, they were able to correctly calculate the areas of triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids and the volumes of figures such as bricks, cylinders, and pyramids.

- Complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint with avulsion of the trapezoid and deltoid muscle results in a decrease in upper extremity strength.
- During surgery, we observed partial or complete detachment of the trapezoid and deltoid muscles from the lateral clavicle in all patients.
- The distal row of carpals includes the hamate, capitate, trapezium, and trapezoid, which are closely approximated to the metacarpals.
- A mass of muscle would pop up: deltoids would ripple, trapezoids bunch and gloots clench.
OriginEarly 18th century: from modern Latin trapezoides, from late Greek trapezoeidēs, from trapeza 'table' (see trapezium).
