Check below, please

1) In this trapezoid, we can name the legs and the bases this way:

• Legs: ,AB, and ,CD

Notice that the legs are denoted by the points that form them since it is a line segment.

• Bases: AD, and ,BC

• Base angles: ∠BAD and ∠CDA

2) A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. So examining those figures we can classify the following ones as trapezoids:

a) Trapezoid? No Explanation: There are two pairs of parallel sides in this quadrilateral

b) Trapezoid? Yes There is one pair of parallel sides in this quadrilateral

c) Trapezoid? yes A square can also be classified as a trapezoid

d) Trapezoid? Yes There is one pair of parallel sides in this quadrilateral

e) Trapezoid? Yes There is one pair of parallel sides in this quadrilateral
