Parallel sides of a trapezoid

Question 3

Leg

Answer 3

non-parallel sides of a trapezoid

Question 4

Base angle

Answer 4

the two angles that share a base of a trapezoid

Question 5

Isosceles trapezoid

trapezoid with legs that are congruent

Question 6

Midsegment of a trapezoid

Answer 6

segment that joins the midpoint of its legs

Question 7

Kite
