  • isosceles trapezoid 6Isosceles trapezoid (a two-dimensional figure) is a trapezoid with only one pair of parallel edges and having base angles that are the same.
  • Acute angle measures less than 90°.
  • Circumcircle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
  • Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
  • Obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
  • a & c are bases
