1

What defines a trapezoid in plane geometry?

a

A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides

b

A quadrilateral with all sides equal

c

A shape with two pairs of opposite parallel sides only

2

In a trapezoid, which sides are parallel?

a

The two bases

b

The legs

c

The diagonals are parallel

3

Can a trapezoid have bases of equal length?

a

Only if it is a kite

b

No, bases must be different

c

Yes, it can be a parallelogram or isosceles trapezoid

4

Which statement best describes a kite?

a

Opposite sides are parallel

b

Two distinct pairs of adjacent sides are equal

c

All four sides equal

5

Are the diagonals of a kite perpendicular?

a

Never, they are parallel

b

Often yes, the diagonals are perpendicular

c

Only when it is also a rectangle

6

What is a typical symmetry feature of a kite?

a

One axis of symmetry through the unequal angles

b

No symmetry at all

c

Two axes of symmetry

7

What is the trapezoid midsegment?

a

A segment joining opposite vertices

b

A diagonal of the trapezoid

c

A segment joining midpoints of legs, parallel to bases

8

In a trapezoid, how is the midsegment length related to the bases?

a

It equals the sum of the bases

b

It equals the longer base

c

It is the average of the lengths of the bases

9

Can a trapezoid have equal base lengths and still be a trapezoid?

a

Only if it is a parallelogram

b

No, bases must be different

c

Yes, if the legs are not parallel, it would be a isosceles trapezoid

10

Which property distinguishes an isosceles trapezoid from a general trapezoid?

a

Opposite sides are perpendicular

b

Diagonals are equal

c

Legs are equal and base angles are equal
