Are a trapezoid's diagonals ever perpendicular?
Yes, they can be. Here is an example to see how this is true. Construct two perpendicular lines AB and CD that intersect at a point O. Let AO = CO, BO = DO and AO ≠ BO, then ABDC forms an isosceles trapezoid. If the lines are not perpendicular, then also ABDC is an isosceles trapezoid and it has perpendicular diagonals.
How do you draw a trapezoid?
Draw two parallel lines of unequal length, and connect their end points. If you have a right angle, it is a right trapezoid. If the non-parallel sides are equal in length, it is an isosceles trapezoid.
Does a trapezoid have a pair of perpendicular lines?
The only requirement for a trapezoid is that one pair of opposite sides be parallel. There could be trapezoids with a pair of perpendicular lines.
What is Perpendicular and Parallel?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
Which shape has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines?
A rhombus has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines.
What are the 3 diffrent types of trapezoids?
The regular trapezoid and the isosceles trapezoid, both have one pair of parallel lines. With the isosceles trapezoid the parallel lines are not equal in length.
How many parallel lines and perpendicular does a trazioud have?
A trapezoid has 2 parallel lines. It may or may not have perpendicular lines.
Are a trapezoid's diagonals ever perpendicular?

Let AO = CO, BO = DO and AO ≠ BO, then ABDC forms an isosceles trapezoid. If the lines are not perpendicular, then also ABDC is an isosceles trapezoid and it has perpendicular diagonals.
What quadrilateral has only one set of parallel lines at different lengths?
The isosceles trapezoid.
What 2d shape has one set of parallel lines?
There are many, the simplest that I can think of is an isosceles trapezoid.
Does a trapezoid have perpendicular liens?
No, but it does have 1 pair of opposite parallel lines of different lengths
How do you draw a trapezoid?
Draw two parallel lines of unequal length, and connect their end points. If you have a right angle, it is a right trapezoid. If the non-parallel sides are equal in length, it is an isosceles trapezoid.
Does a trapezoid have a pair of perpendicular lines?
The only requirement for a trapezoid is that one pair of opposite sides be parallel. There could be trapezoids with a pair of perpendicular lines.
What is general trapezoid?
A general trapezoid is a 4 sided quadrilateral with a pair opposite parallel lines of different lengths and no lines of symmetry But an isosceles trapezoid has the same properties as above except that it has 1 line of symmetry
What shape has 2 equal sides 2 parallel sides and 2 lines of symmetry?
An isosceles trapezoid.
Does a trapezoid contain 2 right angles?
Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.
Does perpendicular have parallel lines?
= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.
