ISOSCELES TRAPEZOIDS Isosceles Trapezoids are trapezoids that have a few of their own properties to add to the 2 trapezoid properties we just spoke about: Legs have the same length(the 2 non- parallel sides) Base angles have the same degree measure (on each base) Diagonals have the same length
STEPS in solving any of these problems: 1) Figure out which property(ies) you are using to help you set up the equation 2) Solve the equation 3) Look back at the question to see what you are solving for (either the variable or you have to substitute)
EXAMPLE – Let’s try 1 together In isosceles trapezoid ABCD, AC = 4x – 10 and BD = 2x + 20. Find the value of x.
