This document summarizes a presentation given in India on the construction of an isosceles trapezium. It defines a trapezium as a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides. An isosceles trapezium is then defined as a trapezium with congruent legs and base angles. The document discusses the Indian mathematician Baudhāyana and his contributions to geometry in the 800s BCE, including calculating pi and discovering the Pythagorean theorem. It then demonstrates how to construct an isosceles trapezium by drawing two parallel lines, finding the midpoint, and using a compass to draw arcs intersecting the parallel lines.
