The perimeter of a trapezoid is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. For a trapezoid with non-parallel sides a, b, and parallel sides c and d, the perimeter is given by a + b + c + d.
def calculate_trapezoid_perimeter(side1, side2, base1, base2):
return side1 + side2 + base1 + base2
# Taking input for the lengths of the sides and bases of the trapezoid and calculating its perimeter
