On the grid to the right, draw a polygon that has:
- 2 pairs of parallel sides
- 2 pairs of sides equal in length
- 2 acute angles
- 2 obtuse angles
Tell all the possible names for the figure.
Answer (2)
Draw an isosceles trapezoid which has two parallel sides (the bases) and then two equal sides that. The angles between the smaller parallel side and the equal sides will form obtuse angles, and the angles formed by the larger parallel side and the equal sides will make acute angles.
An isosceles trapezoid can be drawn to meet the criteria of having two pairs of parallel sides, two pairs of equal-length sides, two acute angles, and two obtuse angles. This polygon is specifically known as an isosceles trapezoid. It features parallel bases, equal-length non-parallel sides, and the required angles.
