Trapezoids
The median of a trapezoid is parallel to each base and its
length is one half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
Isosceles Trapezoids
1. The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
2. Opposite angles of an isosceles trapezoid are supplementary.
3. The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
