Front

In a trapezoid, how many pairs of parallel sides are there?

Back

There is exactly 1 pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is a defining property of isosceles trapezoids?

Back

The legs of isosceles trapezoids are congruent.

Front

True or False: A trapezoid has 2 bases.

Back

Front

What is the measure of the angles in a trapezoid?

Back

The angles can vary, but the sum of the interior angles in any trapezoid is 360 degrees.

Front

Is a trapezoid a type of parallelogram?

Back

No, a trapezoid is not a parallelogram.

Front

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles on the same side of a trapezoid?

Back

The angles on the same side of a trapezoid are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula: Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height.

Front

What is the height of a trapezoid?

Back

The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

Can a trapezoid have right angles?

Back

Yes, a trapezoid can have right angles, making it a right trapezoid.
