Trapezoids and Kites — Quiz

Question 20 • Mathematics III

Which quadrilateral is a trapezoid?

Answer

Image with description Quadrilateral J K L M is shown. Sides J K and M L are parallel. Sides K L and J M are parallel.

Image with description Quadrilateral E F G H is shown. Sides F E and G H are congruent. Angles E and H have different angle measures.

Image with description Quadrilateral N O P Q is shown. Sides O N and N Q are congruent. Sides O P and P Q are congruent.

Image with description Quadrilateral A B C D is shown. Sides A B and D C are parallel. Sides A D and B C have different length measures. Angles A and D are right angles.

Explanation

A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. In quadrilateral ABCD, AB is parallel to DC, while the description does not show the other pair as parallel. Choice B has two pairs of parallel sides, making it a parallelogram, not a trapezoid under the one-pair definition.
