Answer to Problem 5CT
A trapezoid never has three congruent sides.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given statement,
A trapezoid ------------has three congruent sides.
Calculation:
Consider the fact a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases and the other sides are legs.
Also consider that fact that a trapezoid with congruent legs is called an isosceles trapezoid, thus a trapezoid can have at most two sides congruent.
Hence, a trapezoid never has three congruent sides.
