−*Process/ Developmental Questions
+*Process:
+# Construct AB.
+# Construct the midpoint C of AB.
+# Construct a line through point C perpendicular to AB.
+# Construct AD.
+# Mark the perpendicular line as a mirror, then reflect AD and point D.
+# Construct DD'.
+# Hide the perpendicular line and midpoint C.
+# Drag points A, B, and D to make trapezoids of different sizes and shapes. Make sure you note when your trapezoid turns into a rectangle.
+# Based on your construction, describe the symmetry of an isosceles trapezoid.
+# Measure the four angles in your trapezoid. 10. Drag the vertices of the trapezoid and observe your angle measures.
+# Make a conjecture about the base angles of an isosceles trapezoid. (Both of the parallel sides are considered bases, so a trapezoid has two pairs of base angles.)
