Trapezoid A Trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The Parallel sides are the bases The non parallel sides are the legs A trapezoid has two pairs of base angles Isosceles trapezoid- if the legs are congruent

Example 1 Find Angle Measures of Trapezoids PQRS is an isosceles trapezoid. Find the missing angle measures. SOLUTION PQRS is an isosceles trapezoid and R and S are a pair of base angles. So, m R = m S = 50°. 1. Because S and P are same-side interior angles formed by parallel lines, they are supplementary. So, m P = 180° – 50° = 130°. 2. Because Q and P are a pair of base angles of an isosceles trapezoid, m Q = m P = 130°. 3.

Now You Try Find Angle Measures of Trapezoids ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid. Find the missing angle measures. ANSWER m A = 80° ; m B = 80° ; m C = 100° 1. 2. 3. ANSWER m A = 110° ; m B = 110° ; m D = 70° ANSWER m B = 75° ; m C = 105° ; m D = 105°

Example 2 Midsegment of a Trapezoid Find the length of the midsegment DG of trapezoid CEFH. SOLUTION Use the formula for the midsegment of a trapezoid. DG = 1 2 ( EF + CH ) Formula for midsegment of a trapezoid = 1 2 (8 + 20 ) Substitute 8 for EF and 20 for CH. = 1 2 ( 28 ) Add. = 14 Multiply. ANSWER The length of the midsegment DG is 14.
