In Figure 1.15, we are given that ABllCD and that AD and BC are not parallel. Show that angle D equals angle C if and only if AD=BC. HINT: Draw a line through B parallel to AD. NOTE: Recall that a quadrilateral is said to be a trapezoid if it has exactly one pair of parallel sides. If the nonparallel pair of sides are equal, the trapezoid is said to be isosceles.
