All trapezoids have one pair of parallel sides, and they are called the bases. The other two sides are called the legs. The bases are often labeled b1 and b2.

- Is a segment that extends from one leg of a trapezoid, to the other.
- A median to a trapezoid divides each leg into congruent segments.
- The formula for finding the median of a trapezoid is [(b1+b2)]÷2
- The median is parallel to b1 and b2.
- If you have an isosceles triangle with a median,than all four segments created are congruent.
