Describe rotations and reflections that carry rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, or regular polygons onto themselves.

Recognize reflection symmetry in a trapezoid

Problem

Describe the reflection symmetry of an isosceles trapezoid.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

A reflection axis is a fold line that pairs the entire boundary with itself. Since the parallel bases have different lengths, a useful candidate must preserve each base while exchanging its endpoints; checking the line through the base midpoints makes that pairing visible and also tests the two legs.
