Does a trapezoid always have 4 congruent sides?
A trapezoid, in general, does not have congruent sides.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Does Drawing one diagonal trapezoid creates two congruent triangles?
No, in general, it does not.
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 quadrilateral has 0 parallel sides and 0 perpendicular sides?
trapezoid rhombus parellogrm
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.
Another name for a rectangle?
it depends general: quadrilateral, polygon only some: trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, square, isosceles trapezoid, etc. (i'm pretty sure there's more)
Is a square bigger or trapezoid?
In general, a trapezoid is bigger. This is because you can look at a trapezoid as a square with two half-triangles attached to the end. While a square, only has a square part. With this said however, make sure you check the side lengths to make sure they are comparable.
