If the parallel sides are the same length, then the figure must be a parallelogram. You can prove this by dividing the parallelogram into two triangles, and then using SAS (side angle side) to prove the triangles congruent, which leads to you showing the corresponding angles are the same measure, therefore the other set of sides must be parallel as well.
Or
If the non parallel sides are the same length, then you have an isosceles trapezoid. A trapezoid is any figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides. An isosceles trapezoid is one where the non-parallel sides are the same length. The non-parallel sides are sometimes considered the legs of the trapezoid (and the parallel sides are the bases).
Or
If you have two adjacent sides that are same length, and you have one set of parallel sides, then you could have a trapezoid (not isosceles but just a more generalized trapezoid)

Step-by-step explanation:Your probally asking what times 8 gives us 80. If you are than 10!
The mid-point formula can be used, which is
Substitutint
(x1,y1)=(-5,3), and
(x2,y2)=(7,-1) we get
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the possible value of x in the given trapezoid MNOP with median QR, recall that one of the properties of a trapezoid is that the median length = ½ of the sum of the length of the parallel bases
Thus, ½ of [x + (3x + 8)] = 20
Let's find x
½*[x + (3x + 8)] = 20
½*[x + 3x + 8)] = 20
½*[4x +8] = 20
Multiply both sides by 2
4x + 8 = 20*2
4x + 8 = 40
Subtract 8 from both sides
4x = 40 - 8
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4
x = 32/4
x = 8
