Using Properties of Trapezoids trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are the bases. ase angles of a trapezoid are two consecutive angles whose common side is a base. trapezoid has two pairs of base angles. or example, in trapezoid, and are one pair of base angles, and and are the second pair. The nonparallel sides are the legs of the trapezoid.

I The midsegment of a trapezoid is sometimes called the median of the trapezoid. Using the Trapezoid idsegment Theorem ecall that a midsegment of a triangle is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment that connects the midpoints of its legs. The theorem below is similar to the Triangle idsegment Theorem.
