Q:

16. For quadrilateral ABCD, determine the most precise name for it. A (-2, 3), B (9, 3), C (5, 6) and D (2, 6). Show your work and explain.

Accepted Solution

A:
The quadrilateral ABCD, with vertices A(-2,3), B(9,3), C(5,6) and D(2, 6), is a trapezoid. 

 By definition, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral which has two parallel sides (These are called "bases"), but the other sides are not parallels.
