Base of a hexagon?
Any side of the hexagon can be its base.
Does an isosceles trapezoid have diagonals that bisect each other?
An isosceles trapezoid, or any trapezoid, does not have diagonals that bisect each other.
How many right angles does a trapezium have?
A trapezium (or trapezoid in North America) does not necessarily have any right angles. The only requirement is that it is a quadrilateral (4 sided polygon) with one pair of parallel sides. If one of the sides is perpendicular to the bottom base, then it is also perpendicular to the top (so 2 right angles). If the other side is also perpendicular to the bottom base then it will be perpendicular to the top base as well, then it is a rectangle, with four right angles.
What has 4 sides of any length and 4 sides of any size?
trapezoid
How do you find the volume of a trapezoidal prism?
I think it is area of the trapezoid x height. Sorry if i didnt help. fOR ANY PRISM IT IS THE AREA OF THE BASE (IN THIS CASE A TRAPEZOID) X VERTICAL HEIGHT ( DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO BASES)
Any side of a trapezoid can be called a base?
No, they cannot.
Can any side of a trapezoid be called a base?
No, only the two sides that are parallel to each other are bases.
How do you prove that the base of a trapezoid is twice the length of a side?
U don't, because it isn't true. Draw a trapezoid. Now lengthen the base and the other parallel edge by any amount u want (the same amount, of course). U now still have a trapezoid, but the base is longer and the sides are the same as they were before.
Does a trapezoid have any congruent side?
Not normally but if it's an isosceles trapezoid it will have a pair of congruent sides
Is a leg of a trapezoid longer than its base?
They could be, but to form a trapezoid, They doesn't have to be. The legs of the trapezoid can be any length, so long as the the bases are parallel to one another.
What are two other names for a trapezoid?
A trapezoid is called a trapezium in the UK (because the UK trapezoid is scalene). In any case, a trapezoid is also a quadrilateral, in that it has four sides.
What are the angles of a trapezoid called?
They do not have any special names.
Does the median of an isosceles trapezoid create two isosceles trapezoids?
A trapezoid does not have a median since from any vertex, there is no single opposite side.
What is the area of a trapezoid with base lengths 14 cm and 12 cm and a height of 8 cm?
The area of ANY trapezoid is [ 1/2 times (height) times (one base plus the other base) ].Knowing that, you can now find the area of not only that particular trapezoid, but ofevery trapezoid that you ever encounter for the rest of your life. The formula is notexpected to change. You are empowered !
What is the difference betwe a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
If you pick any side of a parallelogram, there's always another side parallel to it. With a trapezoid, that's true for two of its sides, but not for the other two.
What is the volume of a trapezoid prism?
The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.
Can the side opposite of the vertex of a triangle could be the base of a triangle?
Yes, though generally speaking the bottom, horizontal side (if any) of a triangle is called its base.
