Quadrilaterals which have one pair of parallel sides are called trapezoids. Sides that are parallel are called bases of a trapezoid, and ones that are not parallel are called legs. Trapezoids whose legs are of equal length are called isosceles trapezoids. Diagonals of a isosceles trapezoids are congruent.
Definition of Trapezoid. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. As shown in the picture below, the parallel sides of trapezoid ABCD are called bases and the sides that are not parallel are called legs. The degree measure of the four angles add up to 360 degrees. This is actually true of any quadrilateral.
