Trapezoids and Kites Section 6.5

Vocabulary A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called bases. A trapezoid has two pairs of base angles. Each pair shares a base as a side. The nonparallel sides of a trapezoid are called legs.

Things we already should know

Special Properties An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with congruent legs.

Midsegment The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that connects the midpoints of its legs.
