Properties of Trapezoids and Isosceles Trapezoids

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral where one pair of sides is parallel while the other two sides are not. In an isosceles trapezoid the non-parallel sides are congruent. In this activity we will attempt to create an isosceles trapezoid from an ordinary trapezoid, then approach the problem in a different manner and finally, examine the properties of trapezoids.
