Exercise 1 Page 849

Think of what Theorem 6.21 tells us about the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid.

False

Practice makes perfect

An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with two parallel sides (called bases) and two congruent legs. An isosceles trapezoid has several symmetry properties. Theorem 6.21 tells us that both pairs of base angles are congruent. The given statement is false, and we need to correct it.

Both pairs of base angles in an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
