An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid whose sides are congruent. An example of an isosceles trapezoid is shown below. The trapezoid $latex ABCD$ is isosceles with $latex AB$ parallel to $latex CD$ and $latex AD$ congruent to $latex BC$.
In this post, we are going to show that the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. In the figure below, we will show that $latex AC$ is congruent to $latex BD$. Continue reading
