Activity 2. True or False Directions: Write T if your guess on the statement is true; otherwise, write F. 1. The median of the trapezoid is parallel to the bases and its length is equ to half the sum of the lengths of the bases. 2. The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are parallel and congruent. 3. The bases of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent. 4. The segment that joins the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid is called th median. 5. The area of a kite is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals.
