Chapter 14.5, Problem 14PSB

To determine

To construct the isosceles trapezoid.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given are the bases and the altitude.

Calculation:

The isosceles trapezoid can be constructed using the following steps-

Step 1- Draw the two parallel lines of different lengths with the distance between them as the altitude.

Step 2- Join the endpoints of the line segment.

Step 3- The line joining the end points of the altitude should be perpendicular to the longer base.
