nna is trying to determine if this quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid. First, she uses the slope formula and finds that AB || DC. Which other step must Anna take before she makes a determination? A) Use the slope formula to determine if AD || BC. B) Use the distance formula to determine if AB = CD. C) Use the distance formula to determine if AD = BC. D) Use the slope formula to determine if AD ⊥ AB.
Question
Answer:
In a trapezoid, exactly two opposite sides are parallel.The other two opposite sides are not parallel, so checking slopes of the other two sides will not help.
In an isosceles trapezoid, the non-parallel sides are congruent, so she must use the distance formula on the other two sides to determine if the non-parallel sides are congruent.
The non-parallel sides are sides AD and BC.
