Is it possible for opposite angles in a trapezoid to be congruent? Sometimes? Always? Never?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd say never, or else it would be a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know which property states that? I'm pretty confused on all of this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I could be wrong though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sometimes. A parallelogram is a particular kind of trapezoid, which has opposite angles congruent. (So is the square)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A trapezoid is not a parallelogram.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A parallelogram is NOT a trapezoid. A trapezoid, by definition, is a quadrilateral with EXACTLY one pair of parallel sides. Therefore, a parallelogram which, by definition, has two pair of parallel sides is NOT a special trapezoid!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore the previous answer is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think about it, even if it's an irregular trapezoid, they wouldn't be congruent. Draw them out, it helps. |dw:1334420579424:dw|
