6.6 TRAPEZOIDS
• A quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of opposite parallel sides (bases), 2 pairs of base angles, and 1 pair of non-parallel sides (legs)
• Isosceles Trapezoid:• A trapezoid with congruent
legs and congruent base angles
• Median (of a trapezoid):• The segment that connects
the midpoints of the legs
• The median is parallel to the bases
• Diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent

A. Each side of the basket shown is an isosceles trapezoid. If mJML = 130, KN = 6.7 feet, and LN = 3.6 feet, find mMJK.
B. Each side of the basket shown is an isosceles trapezoid. If mJML = 130, KN = 6.7 feet, and JL is 10.3 feet, find MN.
In the figure, MN is the midsegment of trapezoid FGJK. What is the value of x.
WXYZ is an isosceles trapezoid with medianFind XY if JK = 18 and WZ = 25.
A. If WXYZ is a kite, find mXYZ.
