A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The side on a trapezoid are called based and the non parallel sides are called legs. If a trapezoid is isosceles then each pair of base angles is congruent. If a trapezoid has one pair of congruent base angles then it is an isosceles trapezoid. It is isosceles only if it’s diagonals are congruent.
