Task

There have been a lot of myths about the why this land is called "Trapezodia". 

 One of which is the said myths was that it was created at a time when the Triangle Nation had concquered this land. They say that it was made because of the history between the Triangle Nation and the Rectangle Country.

While others speculate that it was called as such because of the Shogun of the Head of the Land of the Parallelgoram bribed the head of Trapezodia to call it as such.

How about you? What do you think? 

Come dear traveller and lets take a look at the Scenery and ask the Locals...

Before entering the mystical land of Trapezodia... we must pass the river of Area's... 

(The river of Areas..)

To pass... we must talk to a Local and take a ride on his boat...

We now ask the Local why does he think that this land is called "Trapezodia"....

We must click the "Process" button to hear his story...

Process

As we cruise along the Water of Areas the local slowly tells the story of the name "Trapezodia".

According to the Local... The story begins with the Bishop from this Land and The Triangle Nation discussing the problem of how to call find the area of the Triangle Nation which was a part of the Rectangle Country.. They know that the formula to find the area of the a Rectangle is simple. It was basically b x h. 

So they noticed that a Triangle was half the area of a Rectangle

So they came up with area for the land of the Triangle...

The Bishop of the Triangle Nation was so pleased that he and the the Bishop from this Land became close friends... Now, that the problem  of the triangle nation has been taken care of they decided on the problem of this nation. One of which was the name.. They did not know how to name this fair and mystical land...The other one was how much of this land was for this land and how much was the other land for the Land of the Parallelogram.. So knowing that this area was half of the area of a Parallelogram...


While looking at the figure they realized something peculiar... 
That their land was actually shaped like half a parallelogram...

They called the figure a "TRAPEZOID"...

Overjoyed they laughed and decided to call the land... Trapezodia...
