grrr:/

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides

anonymous · Answer

3rd one :D

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Well A is out because that's a rhombus

B is true by definition

C is false because you can have an isosceles trapezoid where adjacent sides aren't equal

and D is false because that describes a rectangle

So it's actually B

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

oh wait, D is just a parallelogram, and not just a rectangle...but it's still not the answer
