6.5 Trapezoids • Objectives • Use properties of trapezoids
Trapezoids • A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are the bases and the nonparallel sides are the legs.
A trapezoid has two pairs of base angles • If the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.
Theorem • 6.12 If a trapezoid is isosceles, the each pair of base angles is congruent. • 6.13 If a trapezoid has a pair of congruent base angles, then it is isosceles.
Midsegments • The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that connects the midpoints of the legs. The midsegment is parallel to the bases. The length of the midsegment is ½ the sum of the two bases.
