What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length and the angles opposite those sides are equal.

How do you calculate the measure of the angles in an isosceles triangle?

Back

In an isosceles triangle, if you know one angle, you can find the other two angles by using the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is a midsegment of a trapezoid?

Back

The midsegment of a trapezoid is a line segment that connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides and is parallel to the bases.

Front

How do you calculate the length of the midsegment in a trapezoid?

Back

The length of the midsegment (PQ) can be calculated using the formula: PQ = (AB + DC) / 2, where AB and DC are the lengths of the two bases.

Front

What is an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid in which the non-parallel sides are equal in length.

Front

How do you find the length of the bases in an isosceles trapezoid?

Back

In an isosceles trapezoid, if you know the lengths of the legs and one base, you can use the properties of triangles to find the length of the other base.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in an isosceles triangle?

Back

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

What is a diagonal in a trapezoid?

Back

A diagonal in a trapezoid is a line segment that connects two non-adjacent vertices.
