What else can I help you with?
Bases of a trapezoid are always parallel?
Depends on what you define the "base" as. A trapezoid always has two parallel bases, by definition. Hope this helps ! :)
Does the median of a trapezoid bisect the base of a trapezoid?
Only if it is an isosceles trapezoid which has one line of symmetry.
If a trapezoid has base lengths of 18 and 40 what is the length of the median?
median = 29
How do you find the base of the trapezoid?
The bases of a trapezoid are either of its parallel sides.
What is true about the base of a trapezoid?
Is parallel to the top.
What is a base of a trapezoid?
Applies to all types of trapezoids: the edges of a trapezoid that are parallel.
How do you solve isosceles trapezoid median is given?
To solve for the dimensions of an isosceles trapezoid when the median is given, first recall that the median (or midsegment) of an isosceles trapezoid is the average of the lengths of the two parallel bases. If the median is ( m ) and the lengths of the bases are ( a ) and ( b ), then the relationship can be expressed as ( m = \frac{a + b}{2} ). You can use this equation to find one base if the other is known, or to establish relationships between the bases if additional information is provided. Additionally, you can apply properties of the trapezoid and the Pythagorean theorem to find heights or side lengths if needed.
Does a trapezoid always have two congruent sides?
A trapezoid will always have two parallel sides. However, it will not necessarily have two congruent sides. The only way it will have two congruent sides is if the angles at the base match.
How do you get the base of a trapezoid without the area?
Simply measure it and the parallel bases of a trapezoid will have different lengths.
What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?
A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases
What is one of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid?
the base (there are two)
What is the area of a trapezoid?
The area of a trapezoid = 1/2 (altitude)(base 1 + base 2) *altitude can also be called the height, or the spacing between the parallel sides. Base 1 is the length of one of the parallel sides, and base 2 is the length of the other parallel side.
