Can any side of a trapezoid can be called a base?
The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the two non-parallel sides are the legs. If you call any other pair of sides the bases, the formula for the area of the trapezoid will no longer work.
If the bases of an isosceles trapezoid have lengths of 16 and 28 what is the length of the median?
The length of its median will be the same length as its line of symmetry.
What is a four-sided polygon with two parallel sides?
A four-sided polygon with two parallel sides is called a trapezoid (US) or trapezium (UK). It requires that the parallel sides are not equal in length, or they would form a parallelogram. A trapezoid's bases are parallel, but the legs are not.trapezoid
What is a polyhedron with 2 congruent parallel bases called?
A parallelogram or trapezoid.No!A parallelogram or a trapezoid are polygons (2-dimensional). A polyhedron, or 3-dimensional object, with parallel congruent bases is a prism.A prism. To give it fuller description, an "n-gonal prism" where the "n-gon" refers to the 2-d name of the bases.
A trapezoid has an area of 28ft2 The two bases are 5 ft and 9 ft What is the height of the trapezoid?
4 ft.
The median of a trapezoid is always parallel to the bases?
FALSE
What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?
A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases
The median of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid?
The altitude of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid.
What is the average of the bases of a trapezoid?
The average of the bases of a trapezoid is the median.
Is the length of the median of a trapezoid is the average of the length of the bases?
If it is the line joining the midpoints of the parallel sides it most certainly is not.
What are the parallel sides of a trapezoid?
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are the two bases
Can a trapezoid have 3 bases?
No, a trapezoid cannot have 3 bases. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases of the trapezoid. Therefore, there can only be 2 bases.
What are the bases on the trapezoid?
The bases on a trapezoid are the two lines that are parallel to each other. .............................. ....____base____...... .../ ...................\..... ../ .....................\.... ./_____base_____\... .............................
What are the parallel sides of a trapezoid called?
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are the two bases
Bases of a trapezoid?
They are parallel
Can a trapezoid have no parallel bases?
No. A quadrilateral is trapezoid if it has at least one pair of parallel sides.
What has two parallel bases?
A trapezoid
