Transcript of Trapezoids A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid.

  • TrapezoidsA quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid.

  • Parts of a trapezoid

    The parallel sides are called bases.

    The other sides are called legs.basebaselegleg

  • ISOSCELES TRAPEZOIDA trapezoid with congruent legs is called an isosceles trapezoid.

    What is true of the base angles? (2x + 10)o(-5x + 80)o(2x + 10)o= (-5x + 80)o= +5x +5x7x + 10 = 80 - 10 = - 10 7x = 70x = 10

  • Find the missing values.5x + y = 1415x + 7y = 58-3(5x + y = 14)15x + 7y = 58-15x - 3y = -4215x + 7y = 58 4y = 16 y = 45x + 4 = 14 - 4 = - 45x = 10 x = 2

  • Median of a TrapezoidThe median of a trapezoid is a segment that joins the midpoints of the legs.

    The median of a trapezoid isIs parallel to the basesHas a length that is equal to average of the base lengths.1030x10 + 30 2 = x x = 20

  • Median of a TrapezoidFind the missing values.4x + 111x - 237(4x + 1) + ( 11x 2) 2= 37(4x + 1) + ( 11x 2) = 7415x 1 = 7415x = 75x = 5
