trapezium
A trapezium is a four-sided geometric figure or polygon with at least one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are known as the bases of the trapezium, while the non-parallel sides are called the legs. In American English, it is called a trapezoid. However, in British English, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with no parallel sides.
