6.6 Trapezoids Quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of parallel sides called bases. Base Leg Base Angles
Isosceles Trapezoid Theorem 6.18: Each pair of base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are . Both legs are . Theorem 6.19: The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
Trapezoid Median: Segment that joins the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid. Theorem 6.20: The median is parallel to the bases and is ½ the sum of the bases. Median = ½ (b1 + b2)
