A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium in some regions, is a four-sided polygon (a quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. To understand how many degrees are in a trapezoid, we can refer to a fundamental property of all quadrilaterals:
Every quadrilateral has a sum of interior angles equal to 360 degrees. This is true for trapezoids as well. Therefore, regardless of the specific lengths of the sides or the measures of the angles, the total measure of all four angles in a trapezoid will always add up to 360 degrees.
In conclusion, a trapezoid has a total of 360 degrees among its interior angles.
