Answer:

  • The name of the quadrilateral is isosceles trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The two parallel sides of different legths
1(3)/(4) and
1(1)/(4) constitute the bases of a trapezoid.

2) The two equal anglesare the base angles of the trapezoid, and mean that it is an isosceles trapezoid.

An isosceles trapezoid is truncated isosceles triangle.

The definition of trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least two parallel sides.

The drawing is attached: only the green lines represent the figure, the dotted lines just show how this is derived from an isosceles triangle.
