Do isosceles trapezoid have opposite sides are parallel?

Yes, an isosceles trapezoid has one pair of oppsite sides parallel and the pair of sides that are not parallel are equal.


Parallel sides of a trapezoid?

Called an Isosceles trapezoid when the sides that aren't parallel are equal in length.


Can the parallel sides of an isosceles trapizoid be equal?

No not even as an isosceles trapezoid


Difference with trapezoid and 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.


Does an isosceles trapezoid have 2 pairs of parallel sides?

No. All trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides which are different in length. In an isosceles trapezoid the lengths of the two non-parallel sides are equal.


Do the two non parallel sides of a trapezoid are congruent then the trapezoid is isosceles?

Yes the non parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent


Can the parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid be equal Why?

No because otherwise it would be a rectangle


Can an isosceles trapezoid have parallel sides?

Yes an isosceles trapezoid has 1 pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths.


How an isosceles trapezoid is related to an isosceles triangle?

Both have equal sides and equal base angles An isosceles trapezoid is made from an isosceles triangle that's had its top cut off parallel to its base


What are characteristic isosceles trapezoid?

Base angles are equal and non-parallel sides are equal in length.


What other shape can a trapezoid be?

A trapezoid can also be a parallelogram if its non-parallel sides are of equal length.


Is it possible for the bases of a trapezoid to be equal?

No its parallel bases can never be equal in length. But if it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid then its slanted sides are equal in length.
