In this lesson, we explore trapezoids, quadrilaterals with one pair of parallel sides. Learn about the properties of trapezoids, including isosceles trapezoids and right trapezoids. Discover how to find the area of a trapezoid using the given formula involving its bases and height. We will also delve into the concept of symmetry in trapezoids and discuss ways to identify and prove various trapezoid types. This comprehensive guide is designed for students seeking to deepen their understanding of trapezoid properties and calculations.

  1. 6.3 What If Both Sides Are Parallel? Pg. 13 Properties of Trapezoids

  2. 6.3 – What If Both Sides Aren't Parallel?___ Properties of Trapezoids In the previous lesson, you learned that parallelograms have both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Today you will study a shape that has only one pair of opposite sides parallel.

  3. Trapezoid: Quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides

  4. a. Saundra noticed that two identical trapezoids can be arranged to form a parallelogram. Trace the trapezoid shown below onto a piece of tracing paper. Be sure to label its bases and height as shown in the diagram. Then determine a formula to find the area of the original trapezoid.

  5. b2 b1

  6. b2 b1 A(parallelogram) = h(b1 + b2)

  7. 32 6.15 –AREA OF A TRAPEZOID Calculate the exact areas of the trapezoids below. Don't forget units.

  8. 32

  9. 8 x2 + 62 = 102 x2 + 36 = 100 x2 = 64 x = 8

  11. 6.16 –RIGHT TRAPEZOIDS A quadrilateral with two consecutive right angles is called a right trapezoid.

  12. a. If two consecutive angles are 90°, does it have to be a trapezoid? How do you know? Explain using the proof below.

  13. given addition Consecutive int. are supp. One pair opp. sides //

  14. b. What do you know about and now that you know that ABCD is a trapezoid?

  15. c. What if the angles were not consecutive? Does it still have to be a trapezoid? Draw a picture to support your answer. No. The angles have to be consecutive

  16. 6.17 –ISOSCELES TRAPEZOIDS A trapezoid with its legs congruent is called isosceles.

  17.  a. Using reflection symmetry, what can you say about the angles in the picture? Complete the statements.

  18.  a. Using reflection symmetry, what can you say about the angles in the picture? Complete the statements.

  19.  a. Using reflection symmetry, what can you say about the angles in the picture? Complete the statements.

  20.  a. Using reflection symmetry, what can you say about the angles in the picture? Complete the statements.

  21. b. Complete the two new properties of isosceles trapezoids.

  22. Base angles are congruent • Diagonals are congruent

  23. 6.18 –MISSING ANGLES Find the measure of the missing angles in the isosceles trapezoids.

  24. 6.19 –TRAPEZOIDS ON THE GRID Prove the following shape is a trapezoid. Then prove it isn’t isosceles.

  25. Slopes of: AB = BC = CD= DA=

  26. Lengths of: AB = BC = CD= DA=

  27. Midsegment of a Trapezoid: • Connects the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid base + base 2 midsegment = base midsegment base
