In geometry the trapezoid has something to do with proving the area of something else. This is its main claim to worth as far as I know. In lore, the trapezoid shape is symbolic of an entry into the spirit world or the next world, etc. Coffins used to be in the trapezoid shape either for that reason, or else it is the other way around.
In other words the trapezoid is a door. Aesthetically it is an interesting shape in itself.
