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

Does a trapezoid always have 4 congruent sides?

A trapezoid, in general, does not have congruent sides.


The angles of a trapezoid equal?

In general, no.


How many lines of symmetry does a trapezoid have?

A trapezoid need not have any lines of symmetry. An isosceles trapezoid has one vertical line of symmetry.


Why does a trapezoid have a right angle?

In general, trapezoids do not have right angles. In fact, a trapezoid with a right angle is a special case, called a rectangle.


How many acute angles are in the trapezoid?

That would depend on the shape of the trapezoid but in general its 4 interior angles add up to 360 degrees


Are the diagonals of a trapezoid bisectors?

No, the diagonals of a trapezoid do not necessarily bisect each other. Only in an isosceles trapezoid, where the two non-parallel sides are congruent, will the diagonals bisect each other. In a general trapezoid, the diagonals do not bisect each other.


How many right angels a trapezoid have?

A trapezoid can have either zero, one, or two right angles. In the case of a right trapezoid, it has exactly two right angles. However, a general trapezoid may have no right angles at all. Therefore, the number of right angles in a trapezoid varies depending on its specific type.


Does Drawing one diagonal trapezoid creates two congruent triangles?

No, in general, it does not.


When is a trapezoid also called a parallelogram?

A trapezoid is also called a parallelogram when it has two pairs of parallel sides. In general, a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Therefore, if a trapezoid meets the criteria for a parallelogram, it is specifically referred to as a parallelogram rather than a trapezoid.


Is a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram a trapezoid?

No. A trapezoid must have one pair of parallel sides, and a parallelogram must have two pair.But a quadrilateral in general doesn't necessarily have any parallel sides.

What shape do you get when you cut a trapaziod in half?

Depending upon exactly where the cut is made (and the shape/type of the original trapezoid), a trapezoid cut into two pieces [of equal area] can result in: 1: two trapezoids 2: a trapezoid and a parallelogram 3: a trapezoid and a [general] quadrilateral 4: a parallelogram and a triangle 5: two triangles.
