Diagonals of a parallelogram theorem
If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then it’s diagonals bisect each other
Trapezoid base angles theorem
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent
Trapezoid diagonals theorem
If a trapezoid is isosceles, then it’s diagonals are congruent
Mid segment theorem for trapezoids
The mid segment of a trapezoid is parallel to each base, and it’s length is half the sum of the lengths of the bases
