Why is an isosceles triangle called an icsosceles triangle?
isos = equal, skelos = legs. A triangle with two equal legs is isosceles (not icsosceles!).
Why is an icosiles triangle called icociles?
There is no such word as icociles! The word is isosceles and isos = equal, skelos = legs. A triangle with two equal legs is isosceles.
Why is an isoceles triangle called and isoceles triangle?
Actually, it is called an isosceles triangle. In Greek, isosceles means having equal legs: an isosceles triangles has two sides (legs) of equal length.
Does an isosceles trapezoid have four congruent sides?
No, an isosceles trapezoid does not have four congruent sides. An isosceles trapezoid has a pair of parallel sides (the bases) and the non-parallel sides (the legs) are of equal length, but the lengths of the bases are generally different. Thus, it has only two pairs of congruent sides, not four.
If a quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides what type of quadrilateral is it?
A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid (or trapezium in some regions). The parallel sides are referred to as the bases, while the other sides are the legs. Trapezoids can be further classified into isosceles trapezoids if the non-parallel sides are of equal length.
What is formed by the congruent legs of an isosceles triangle?

What Angles opposite the legs of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has three interior angles whose base angles are equal.
How many sides does one isosceles have?
Isosceles means having equal "legs". It can be a triangle, trapezium or a shape with more sides.

How did the isosceles trignale get its name?
Assuming that trignale is a curious way of spelling triangle, isosceles means with equal legs from the Greek isos = equal and skelos = leg. The Greek isoskeles changed to the Latin isosceles and that is how it has remained.
