Linear gradient not working with div

I am creating trapezoid using following CSS:

.trapezoid {
  border-bottom: 100px solid red;
  border-left: 50px solid transparent;
  border-right: 50px solid transparent;
  height: 0;
  width: 100px;
  background: linear-gradient(red, yellow);
}
<div class='trapezoid'></div>

The linear-gradient attribute is not working. I want the trapezoid as shadow i.e its color should eventually fade away. Can anyone please help me on this?

You cannot apply gradient in this way as you are using border and your element has a height of 0 so background won't be visible.

Instead you can try to use multiple gradient to create the shape:

.trapezoid {
  height: 100px;
  width: 200px;
  background: 
  linear-gradient(to bottom left,white 50%,transparent 52%) 100% 0/40px 100% no-repeat,
  linear-gradient(to bottom right,white 50%,transparent 52%) 0 0/40px 100% no-repeat,
  linear-gradient(red, yellow);
}
<div class='trapezoid'></div>

Or use clip-path:

.trapezoid {
  height: 100px;
  width: 200px;
  background: linear-gradient(red, yellow);
  -webkit-clip-path: polygon(20% 0%, 80% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
  clip-path: polygon(20% 0%, 80% 0%, 100% 100%, 0% 100%);
}
<div class='trapezoid'></div>

Another method with skew and pseudo-element:

.trapezoid {
  height: 100px;
  width: 200px;
  position: relative;
}

.trapezoid:before,
.trapezoid:after{
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  right: 0;
  width: 60%;
  background: linear-gradient(red, yellow);
  transform:skew(20deg);
  transform-origin:bottom right;
}
.trapezoid:after {
  left: 0;
  transform:skew(-20deg);
  transform-origin:bottom left;
}
<div class='trapezoid'></div>

Or use a transform on a suitably sized element (or pseudo-element).

.trapezoid {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  margin: auto;
  transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(40deg);
  background: linear-gradient(red, yellow);
}
<div class='trapezoid'></div>
