US Definition
A trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; two of these line segments are parallel (but not equal in length) and two are nonparallel.
(in the UK, this is called a trapezium)
British Definition
A trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; NONE of these line segments are parallel to any of the other line segments of the quadrilateral.
(in the US this is just a quadrilateral)
*(see the related links for images of trapezoids)
No, not every trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.
The altitude of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid.
All the names to classify a trapezoid are a trapezoid and a quadrilateral.
A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height
A trapezoid can also take the form of an isosceles trapezoid
A trapezoid with congruent diagonals is an isosceles trapezoid.
If the two sides which are not parallel have equal lengths, then the trapezoid is called an isosceles trapezoid (standard trapezoid has unequal sides). The base angles in an isosceles trapezoid are equal in measurement, also I know that a trapezoid with two nonparallel sides the same length is called an isosceles trapezoid.
The leg of a trapezoid is one of the two nonparallel sides of the trapezoid. However, the base of a trapezoid is of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.
Yes, the diagonals of a trapezoid are congruent.Another Answer:-The diagonals of a trapezoid are congruent only when it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral and has four faces.
The base angels of a trapezoid are the angles that attach to the legs of the trapezoid. There are four base angles in a trapezoid.
Yes, the diagonals of a trapezoid are congruent.Another Answer:-The diagonals of a trapezoid are congruent only when it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid.
