TrapezoidA quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.Definition:
BaseLeg
An Isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with congruent legs.
Trapezoid
The parallel sides are called bases and the non-parallel sides are called legs.
Isosceles trapezoid
A Trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
Trapezoid Terminology • The parallel sides are called BASES. • The nonparallel sides are called LEGS. • There are two pairs of base angles, the two touching the top base, and the two touching the bottom base.

ISOSCELES TRAPEZOID - If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.
**** - Both pairs of base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
**** - The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
**** – If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base angles, then it is an isosceles trapezoid.
Example 1
CDEF is an isosceles trapezoid with leg CD = 10 and mE = 95°. Find EF, mC, mD, and mF.

The median of a trapezoid is the segment that joins the midpoints of the legs.
The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and its measure is one-half the sum of the measures of the bases.

Example 4
A quadrilateral is a kite if and only if it has two distinct pair of consecutive sides congruent.
• The vertices shared by the congruent sides are ends. • The line containing the ends of a kite is a symmetry line for a kite. • The symmetry line for a kite bisects the angles at the ends of the kite. • The symmetry diagonal of a kite is a perpendicular bisector of the other diagonal.
