Isosceles 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°.
