alleryAn isosceles trapezoid's line of symmetry does what?
AJoins two opposite corners
BBisects both pairs of sides
CPasses through exactly one corner
DBisects one pair of opposite sides
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Bisects one pair of opposite sides
1. An isosceles trapezoid has equal legs and equal base angles.
2. Its mirror line is the perpendicular line through the middle of the two parallel sides.
3. That line bisects one pair of opposite sides and passes through no corner, so the other options fail.
