How to Understand the Key Properties of Trapezoids
Isosceles Trapezoid: A trapezoid in which the non-parallel sides (legs) are congruent. In this type of trapezoid, base angles are congruent. Non-Isosceles Trapezoid: Base angles are not necessarily congruent. Examples Practice Questions: If one pair of opposite sides in a quadrilateral is parallel and the other pair is non-parallel, what type of quadrilateral is it? […]
