Trapezoid Properties and Theorems

Bases: The parallel sides of a trapezoid.
Legs: The nonparallel sides of a trapezoid.
Base Angles: Two angles that share a base in a trapezoid.
Theorem 6-15: Base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

Coordinate Plane Conventions

Place the vertex of figures at the origin, with one side along an axis, or center the figure around the origin for convenience in calculations.
Midsegment of a Trapezoid: The segment connecting the midpoints of the nonparallel sides.
Theorem 6-18:
- The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases.
- The length of the midsegment is half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
