Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, the

students are expected to;
1. Describe Trapezoid;
2. Apply the Theorems of
Trapezoid in problem solving;
3. Prove the theorems of
trapezoid; and
4. Demonstrate cooperation in
class discussion.
THEOREMS
OF
TRAPEZOID
TRAPEZOID
is a four sided shape
that has two sides
that a are parallel and
two sides that are not
parallel.
THEOREMS OF TRAPEZOID
Theorem 1:
The median of
trapezoid is parallel
to each base and its
length is one half the
sum of the bases.
Example:
Trapezoid MUST is an isosceles trapezoid.
Given:
AB II MU, AB II ST
MU = 3cm
ST = 11 cm
Unknown: AB=?

Theorem 2:
The base angles of an isosceles
trapezoid are congruent.
Example:
Trapezoid AMOR is an isosceles trapezoid.
Given:
MO II AR M O

Theorem 3:
Opposite angles of an isosceles trapezoid are
supplementary.

Example:
Given: ∠ ARS = 90°
∠ A = 120°
Unknown: ∠ S =?
∠ T =?

Theorem 9:
The diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid are
congruent.
Example:
Given: RM = 12y – 34
AO = 4y + 6
Find the value of y?
Find the value of RM?
Find the value of AO?
