A trapezoid has how many pairs of opposite vertices?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the number of pairs of opposite vertices in a trapezoid. A trapezoid has pairs of opposite vertices formed by its four corners, and we need to identify how many distinct pairs can be made from those vertices.
Answer
Two pairs
A trapezoid has two pairs of opposite vertices.
Answer for screen readers
A trapezoid has two pairs of opposite vertices.
More Information
A trapezoid, being a quadrilateral, has four vertices. Opposite vertices are across from each other. Hence, there are two pairs of opposite vertices.
Tips
Sometimes 'opposite vertices' can be confused with 'consecutive vertices,' which are next to each other. Ensure to differentiate the two.
