Trapezoids A quadrilateral with exactly ONE pair of parallel sides Parallel sides are called bases Other 2 sides are called legs Angles that share a base of a trapezoid are called base angles (2 pair) Base Leg Base Angles
Isosceles trapezoid Definition- A trapezoid with congruent legs Base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent (Thm 6-19) Diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent (Thm 6-20) Base Leg
Median (midsegment) of a trapezoid Definition- segment that joins the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid The median (midsegment) of a trapezoid (Thm 6-21) Is parallel to the bases (MN||DC) Has a length equal to the average of the base lengths MN= (AB + DC)/2 N M A B DC
Example For the trapezoid and its median (midsegment) shown above, find x. x = ( )/2 = x 30
Kites Definition- A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive sides congruent and no opposite sides congruent. Diagonals of a kite are perpendicular (Theorem 6-22)
