Objectives
• Recognize and apply the properties of
trapezoids
• Solve problems involving medians of
trapezoids
Vocabulary
• Trapezoid – a quadrilateral with only one pair
of parallel sides
• Isosceles Trapezoid – a trapezoid with both
legs (non parallel sides) congruent
• Median – a segment that joins the midpoints
of the legs of a trapezoid

The top of this work station appears to be two adjacent
trapezoids. Determine if they are isosceles trapezoids.
Each pair of base angles is congruent, so the legs are the
same length.
Answer: Both trapezoids are isosceles.
The sides of a picture frame appear to be two adjacent
trapezoids. Determine if they are isosceles trapezoids.
Answer: yes
DEFG is an isosceles trapezoid with median

Find
Theorem 8.20
Substitution
Multiply each side by 2.
Subtract 20 from each side.
Answer:
DEFG is an isosceles trapezoid with median
Find
, and
if
and
Since EF // DG,
1 and 3 are supplementary
Because this is an isosceles trapezoid,
1  2 and 3  4
Substitution
Combine like terms.
Divide each side by 9
Answer: If x = 20, then m1 = 65° and 3 = 115°. Because
1  2 and 3  4, 2 = 65° and 4 = 115°

Summary & Homework
• Summary:
– In an isosceles trapezoid, both pairs of base
angles are congruent and the diagonals are
congruent.
– The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases
and its measure is one-half the sum of the
measures of the bases
