Lesson 6-5: Trapezoid & Kites Definition: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases and the non-parallel sides are called legs. Trapezoid Base Leg An Isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with congruent legs. Isosceles trapezoid Lesson 6-5: Trapezoid & Kites
Properties of Isosceles Trapezoid 1. Both pairs of base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. 2. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. B A Base Angles D C Lesson 6-5: Trapezoid & Kites
Lesson 6-5: Trapezoid & Kites Median of a Trapezoid The median of a trapezoid is the segment that joins the midpoints of the legs. The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and its measure is one-half the sum of the measures of the bases. Median Lesson 6-5: Trapezoid & Kites
