Topic 5 (Trapezoids)

Today we began our analysis of more complex trapezoids and their definitions.

 

We are attempting to create a ladder of quadrilaterals using their definitions. Our ladder will go from

Rigid     < ——————-to———————> Loose

 

Today we identified trapezoids – a four sided figure with one pair of parallel lines as loose when compared to rectangles which have a more rigid definition.

 

Check out some possible trapezoids:
