An Isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid with congruent legs.

Trapezoid

The parallel sides are called bases and the non-parallel sides are called legs.

The median of a trapezoid is the segment that joins the midpoints of the legs.

The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and its measure is one-half the sum of the measures of the bases.
